Default Yooper SxS Camraderie - Photos

Let’s face it; very few of us attend side by side shoots to “win” the prize. Oh, it would be nice to place first but most of us go to the Yooper, Hidden Hollow, the Southern, Vintagers, and local events for the camaraderie of like minded persons.

What better place to get to know your fellow SxS enthusiast than over dinner!




Rich the Crusty Old Bast… (COB) don’t need no stinken table manners!




Rick dressed for dinner…








Desert and breakfast pastries were made in the town of Channing’s SECRET pie factory. Rumor has it that it is a CIA operation because they bake and sell wonderful pies and ice cream in the very back of the little town’s bait shop. Hey, I don’t make this stuff up!


Ernie Hausmann and Morris Baker enjoying a little breakfast before shooting.


Cindy, Ernie and Mike


Jon Hosford examining a Henry Adkin 10 gauge.


Jon Hosford, and those RST emissaries of good ammo Jill and Alex!




Larry Brown second from left and Greg on the right.


Daryl on the left.


Eric


Cindy and Rick who is holding an exceptional LC Smith Monogram Grade!


LC Smith Monogram Grade


Eric, Rich, and Daryl






Chuck and Chuck on the right, two fellow Marines!


Dave and Barb Wunrow of the “Hospitality RV!” Dave and Barb are soon to celebrate their 45th Anniversary!


Like I said, I don’t make this stuff up! There really is a Hospitality RV complete and this time it had a pond!


Eric, Alex, and Daryl at the Hospitality RV.


Jill and Rick without his top hat mellowing out.


Front: Chris, Eric, and Daryl
Back: Fred, Jack, Alex, and Rich


This is for those Parker Directors Dean and Dave who did NOT come to the Yooper!


Steve Cobb on the left


Fred and Chris enjoying time spent with new friends.


Dave Wunrow our gracious host!!!


Barb welcoming me!


There were other gatherings…




Bruce in the white hat is cleaning his SxS before he partakes!


Mark and Robert


Ernie Hausmann, Mark Beasland, and Dave Wunrow all standing in front of Mark’s Born Again Bird Gun gun shop on wheels!


Mark and Bruce


Yup, that was good eating!


Eric, Bob, and Dick


Finally, there were a few prize winners to include Dennis in the center, a fellow Marine, who won the overall match! Dennis shot a 67 of 76 in the flurry! Oh, the young lady holding a 30” 16 gauge Fox Sterlingworth won it as the top of the 2nd Division Lewis Class. Larry Brown and I shot the same overall score as she but missed the prize gun by…

Perhaps you get the message but do you comprehend the message??

It is a fun shoot and I think we all had a good time. I had a friend come that is new to SXS's and now he wants to find a gun so he won't have to borrow one...or two.

It was a hellaciously long drive (17hrs) but it was worth it in just the time spent with some old and new friends. The picture of Rich with the 1/2 chicken hanging out of his mouth kind of sums up the fun we had. I suppose the half dozen or so bloody mary's he had did'nt hurt the festivities either. It was a pleasure staying at Rich's new "cabin" in the UP, finally meeting "Blind Dog" Fred Preston and Rich's good buddy Dick. Fred, that BHE you have is to die for. Mark, thanks once again for the pics. Your dedication to the photographic art form is wonderful. I am proud of the pics I got of you on the flurry breaking that bird into pieces. And last but not least is Eric who shot his Limey gun as good as one can shoot. He actually shot it better than his beautiful Parkers. He made some second barrel kills on the pigeon ring that had to be 45-50 yds. They were out but impressive none the less. See you next time guys.

Okay... the guy in the middle with the western hat and plaid shorts is Bruce Day, right? I know he drove up there a year or two ago... and he showed up again! Good on you Bruce, that's a good ride!

Attention on Deck!

What about the name DENNIS and FELLOW MARINE could any reasonable person even infer toward our otherwise noble member and Air Force Colonel, Bruce Day?

Sorry Mark but you'll have to admit the resemblance is uncanny.

I wasn't sure you were referring to that particular person... I apologize for being UNreasonable.

Dean perhaps you should consider making the trip then you'll know exactly whos there and who's not therefor eliminating the self embarrassment of wrongfull identification. I hate to see you embarrass yourself in such a public forum

Rich, it would take a lot more than this to publicly embarass me... but I think a half of a chicken hanging out of my mouth might be over my limit
