Note that I didn't say consistently breakable which seems to be the point youre trying to make. I have the signup sheets from the shooting for the last three years and I don't see your name listed as a shooter. Let me ask, have you ever even been to the Northeast SxS and seen the Bo-Whoop setup? If you had you'd better understand the culture of the event and maybe get off your soapbox trying to turn my words into a "challenge" - based on a very debatable "interpretation" of my comments.

Is it just me or is this not going in a friendly direction? I merely challenged your assertion, joking or not, that a 410 and 9's was a viable gun and load having seen your target presentations in the past. Yes I have been to this shoot. Yes I have tried the Bo-Whoop some time ago and I have not cared to participate in it since then for reasons not related to target presentation but I understand your having fun with it.

Back up to Hidden Hollow today to get some final work done on the Fox Collectors' specialty shooting venues. Here are some random pics:

Frank Cronin and Chis Travinski look over the targets on Sat. Frank shot a 42 x 50 on Friday and took 2nd place with long run in the 12ga class of the Hunters Clays event.

A couple of pictures of me, Chris said he got one of me hitting a clay pigeon, I don't think there is any photographic evidence of that unless I use photoshop

A fine event with perfect weather for camping, shooting, general camaraderie, and on Saturday evening, another hilarious episode of the Rich and Edgar Show! For a tyro like me, the learning opportunities were endless. Thanks to one and all! --Allan
