Default FLASH---Southern Challenge Results

WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE??

LEFT THE DOOR WIDE-OPEN!!

2020 Southern Results.jpg

An early release of The Shooting Times (London) headline article stated;

“Cambria was a veritable F5, weaving a path of destruction on the challenging, 50-bird qualifying course. Toting a 32” Parker DHE double trap once owned by Big Chief Bender of Philadelphia Athletics fame, the international FITASC star dropped but one bird, his first, a hard driver edge-on battue at 40+ yards. After that, the Nutmeg State phenom found a zone all his own—performing a ballet of unerring lethality--turning target after target into a puff of diesel smoke with unrivaled aplomb. Following his clay-crushing magnum opus, Cambria was awarded HOA honors in the hallowed, Kempfer Cabin where Shooting Sportsman Editor- in- Chief Ralph Stuart made the Covid-safe virtual presentation, reportedly from his Capercaillie camp in Luxemburg some 3400 miles away. “

Can’t blame the poor shooting on that fine Parker.

I'm surprised he remembered to shoot a Parker A legend in his own mind but very entertaining

I see that Steve is holding the coveted "Shoot From The Hip" trophy and has been witnessed diligently practicing for the "One Hand Tied Behind My Back Handicap Shootoff" to be held later in the year.

Rumor has it that the "Look Ma, No Hands World Championship" is in the planning stages for 2021 and 2022 will be the inaugural year of the "Watch This - I Saw It In a Cartoon Once and I Think I Can Pull It Off Invitational" both of which Steve plans on winning handily...

I would have expected it to be an old bowling trophy.

That's the problem with the concept of a mail in shoot. Obviously you didn't get my mail in entry, or chose not to read it. My 50X50 should have bested this mediocre 49X50 round. I also got a 40 plus yard edge on battue, but took a small piece off the leading edge to save my winning score.
