Contingency if Mike were allowed to shoot for the Uncle Dan Cup …… I was going to loan him a defective gun as Tool Man did last year at the VGC.
Field Rules for vintage gun events at RM = Gun doesn’t go bang for any reason, bird(s) “lost”. |

Do the field rules include low gun, butt of stock below the armpit? That's the most oft violated (but never enforced) rule I have seen when required.

No sir. Only thing we want is the gun to go bang. Since we’re shooting clays we allow any gun hold. Those of us who have shot competitively for years consider a gun held an inch or two off the face a “low gun”.

You are free to set whatever rules you want for the shoot, or any of the events. In competitions that stipulate a low gun such as FTISAC Clays and Int'l Skeet and clubs I have been to shooting "Modern" Skeet, along with a few local chapter Vintagers events have had well defined low gun rules. I have seen a good number of people premount or do what you say and call it low gun and it's generally ignored. Personally I don't see the point of holding the gun an inch or two off the face and calling it low gun, just premount and be done with it. I was just wondering if "field rules" included a low gun and how it was defined. Thanks for the clarification.

By way of a quick update, even at the 11th hour Mike has been kind enough to allow us a table of our own to set up a LACA display. I am pleased to say that Chris Schotz will join us and contribute some wonderful examples. We will have a nice cross section of LAC and early Partnership guns so please come and spend some time with us!
I will have the Uncle Dan Cup recording sheets at the table along with more info for those new to the event, and hope to see many of the fine shooters here enjoy some range time with an Uncle Dan creation! This is the first shoot I'm able to attend since receiving my gun back from Brian and I am so pleased to bring it for everyone to see his masterful work on a truly special Lefever. Many thanks to Mike and Sam for their tireless work pulling this all together during some difficult and uncertain times! Looking forward to seeing everyone soon! Ken |
