Default 2014 Fox Collector Competitions at the NE Side by Side

AHFCA BO-WHOOP and W C LETTERMAN COMPETITIONS FOR 2014

Both events are shotgun competitions sponsored by the A H Fox Collectors Association Inc., and held in conjunction with the Northeast Side by Side event at Hidden Hollow Sporting Clays, Friendsville PA. Our 2014 shooting dates are June 6 and June 7. There will be no Fox Collector sponsored shooting on Sunday June 8 due to the Northeast Main Event being held on Sunday.

Our Bo-Whoop competition is aptly named for Nash Buckingham's HE Grade Super-Fox "Bo-Whoop” that to this day is recognized as the most legendary, long-range side-by-side shotgun in existence.

The William C Letterman Cup is a competition limited to vintage 12 gauge break open single-barrel trap (SBT) shotguns. William C Letterman was a noted Trap shooter who won the 1923 Pennsylvania Amateur Trapshooting Championship using a newly introduced Fox single-barrel trap shotgun - establishing a new record of 198 ex 200, and with a straight run of 168 birds.

2014 marks our seventh year for the Bo-Whoop Long Range Shoot, and the second year for our William C Letterman Cup SBT event.

PLEASE NOTE: For 2014 a third trap (previously two traps) will be used for both competitions and this will allow varied target presentations for each competition. Cost for shooting - and cash payouts - will remain as in previous years despite the cost to rent this third trap.

SPECIFICS FOR THE BO-WHOOP LONG RANGE SHOOT:
• ANY make Side by Side shotgun may be used (Fox, Parker, LC Smith, Lefever, Winchester, Ithaca, RBL, Stevens, English guns, etc.)
• 10 gauge guns may be used – 1-1/4 ounce max shot charge for any gauge
• Shoot for score as many times as you want to
• Practice shooting available at reduced cost
• Bo-Whoop Trophy awarded for highest score shot with an A H Fox designed shotgun
• 70% Purse payout for (three) highest scores/any gun = 35% 1st place & 20% 2nd place & 15% 3rd place
• 15% Purse payout to “Lady shooter” with highest score
• 15% Purse payout to “Youth shooter” with highest score
• NO shoot offs for tied high scores

SPECIFICS FOR THE WILLIAM C LETTERMAN CUP:
• ANY VINTAGE (pre-1960) break open single-barrel trap (SBT) shotgun may be used. Anything newer than 1960 must be approved in advance by a Fox Collector rep. NO pump action or semi-auto shotguns no matter when the gun was made.
• Shoot for score as many times as you want to
• Practice shooting available at reduced cost
• 100% Purse payout for (3) highest scores/any gun = 50% 1st place & 30% 2nd place & 20% 3rd place
• NO shoot offs for tied high scores

GENERAL INFO & SHOOTING GUIDELINES:
1. Competition is open to anyone. You don’t have to be a member of the A H Fox Collectors Association. Shooting signups will take place at the Northeast Side X Side event. No pre-entry is necessary.

2. The target presentations will be appropriate for tightly choked guns. Target menus will be prominently posted at each shooting butt.

3. Largest shot size allowed is 7-1/2 shot. Maximum shot charge for the Bo-Whoop Long Range Shoot is 1-1/4 ounces, and maximum is 1-1/8 ounce for the William C Letterman Cup. The AHFCA reserves the right to inspect all cartridges used to verify shot size and charge weight. Any shooter found in variance for score shooting will be disqualified.

4. SCORE SHOOTERS: Each entry fee of $20.00 entitles the competitor to shoot 10 cartridges for score. The Bo-Whoop Long Range menu will be five SIMULTANEOUS pairs of targets (also known as “true pairs”) = 10 targets. For 2014 a third trap will be used and this will allow a mixed menu as compared with previous years. The William C Letterman Cup menu will be five pairs of singles “on call” = 10 targets. Again, for 2014 the presentations will be mixed due to the availability of three traps. Competitors may enter more than once. $6.00 from each Score entry fee ($20.00) will be allocated for Purse Payouts. 100% of allocated funds will be paid out - see % breakdowns above. Shooting for score starts on Friday June 6, and ends promptly on Saturday, June 7th, at a time to be posted at the shooting butts.

5. PRACTICE SHOOTERS: Practice shooting (reduced cost) is encouraged. The menu for practice shooting will be the same respectively, as for the Bo-Whoop Long Range Shoot and for the William C Letterman Cup. Entry fee for practice shooting is $10.00 per round. Please note that Practice scores are not eligible for Purse payouts.

6. All “for score” shooting will be witnessed by a Director or designee of the A. H. Fox Collectors Association Inc., and the shooter’s score will be recorded on our official event scorecards. Targets will be judged as “broken” or “dead” in the order shot, as per NSCA rules – minimum of a visible chip – dust does not count as a visible chip. For the Bo-Whoop, one shot may be fired at each target of the pair, or both shots at one of the targets. Nothing is established if one of the two simo targets is damaged coming off the trap – the pair will be repeated. The ruling “broken/lost” by the A. H. Fox Collector Association official is FINAL.

7. A “Lady shooter” is a female of any age. A “Youth shooter” is any person who is 18 years of age or under when s/he shoots the Event. Lady and Youth shooters are “concurrents” - meaning that the Lady and Youth Purse payouts are in addition to the Purse payouts for the three highest scores/any gun. Example: if a Lady or a Youth shooter has the highest score in the Bo-Whoop Long Range Shoot – their Purse payout would be 35% + 15% = 50%.

8. Our Bo-Whoop Trophy recognizes Excellence in Long Range Shooting. Trophy will be awarded to the shooter with the highest score that was shot with a genuine Ansley H Fox designed shotgun (Philadelphia Arms, Philly, Savage or CSMC). Note that Fox Model “B” or clones do not qualify.

9. Tied scores will be decided by: Forward Long Run. If score is still tied, by: Reverse Long Run (if applicable). If score is still tied, by: public draw of name. Our 2014 Winners will be recognized with an engraved plaque on the Bo-Whoop trophy, and on the William C Letterman Cup trophy.. Ownership of both trophies will remain with the AHFCA. Practice shooters do not qualify for this award or for purse payouts.

10. NSCA Rules will be used insofar as possible for anything not specifically noted herein. The AHFCA reserves the right to make any changes necessary to these guidelines at any time due to unanticipated circumstances or field conditions.

What's this? Did you say THREE traps, Chromox??? Looks like the only thing we'll be 'dialing-in' is the IV drip of Dilaudid to ease our suffering.

Hey Toolman, there's no need to show up with your ultra rare A H Fox FE-Grade "Drilling" with those nice lightning bolts on its three barrels. The one you just uncovered in the vault at a former submarine pen out there in CT. Yep, the word is out on your new find.

Although there will be three traps, we are shooting simo pairs on the Bo-Whoop Long Range shoot, example: something like (3) pairs 1 & 3 and (2) pairs 1 & 2 = 10 targets total.
