Harold Pickens at Housmanns 6/18

SXS OHIO · 12-23-2018, 07:17 AM

Just wanted to review some pictures of the classic at Housmanns this past june. We all had a great time shooting and camping in the back 40....(-: I wanted to e-mail these to Harold but could not locate his address? So I posted them here, I know he checks the blog often. I have not had a up-date of his surgery and recovery and do not want to call if he is resting. The four guys in the first picture is myself, Kenny Graft, Harold, Steve Kuboff with the beard (non member) a fox guy, Jack Smith (non member ) but shoots a VHE-16 with 30 inchers that I sold him and he shoots it well! Some other pics of the shoot. My Gordon setter Ruby guarding my loaned ride that Morris Baker kindly offered after I drank too many of his tumblers....He was afraid I fall down on my way back to my camp. Little did he know I fell down anyway. Dam spirits in a small bottle! It was O.K. all the shooting was long over by then...(-; and we were enjoying the raffle that I asked a young lady to watch my many tickets. And yes I had a few winners that I donated back out. It was a great time with so many great folks. I plan to be there again this june. The dates are set....June 6-8 thur, fri, sat. I hope everyone can come this year. Harold... hope you are doing well, call me. SXS Ohio

I think Harold posted yesterday if I am not mistaken. I hope he is recovering well.

I spoke with Harold last evening and he is still in the hospital but doing well. He sounds great and is expected to go home Monday I think.

BTW Kenny- Is that an O/U Harold is shooting in the second picture?

And over and under, Darryl I feel slighted. Know I was holding Kenny's friends over and under while he shot my 1875 Greener 12 gauge side lever. He had never shot a gun that old before and was having a little bit of problem with the side by side

Thank goodness it wasn't yours Harold......you could get disbarred

Glad to hear everything went well and you'll be home for X-Mass, the best gift ever.
