Rich,

I told mine not to plan anything between the first of September and the end of January because I would be busy.

Harry

Congratulations! Is this your first child to marry? I could have had a nice new car and a high grade Parker for what was spent on the last girl child's parties, wedding and reception. At least I got more reinforcements out of the deal.

Fox vs. Parker Challenge Rules 2017


1) Competition is open to members in good standing of the AHFCA or PGCA as of September 1st, 2017. Updated rosters will be on hand to verify current membership status. Dual members of AHFCA and PGCA must choose ONE Association to represent at time of registration. Anyone attempting to shoot for both Associations will be disqualified.

2) Shooters must use a shotgun promoted by the organization they choose to represent. Those shooting A.H. Fox guns and representing the AHFCA are limited to Fox guns manufactured in Philadelphia, PA, Utica, NY and New Britain, CT (CSMC Fox models). Those shooting Parker Bros. or Parker guns and representing the PGCA are limited to Parker guns manufactured in Meriden, CT, Ilion, NY and genuine, Parker Reproductions.

3) All those who wish to compete in the 2017 Fox/Parker Challenge must first shoot the American Classics course ( Friday or Saturday) at HGF. This course will serve as the “Qualification Round.”

All shooters must first pay and acquire their score cards from the registration office. You’re simply signing up to shoot the Prelim course, period. No need to mention the FPC. Before you shoot, bring your scorecard to the Fox tables. Here is where a Fox or Parker official will register you for the FPC. Immediately after shooting, return your score card to the Fox tables for recording. After tabulating, it will be returned to the registration.

Any gun may be used (12,16 or 20g). The gunner will specify the maker and gauge when signing up at the AHFCA tables. You may shoot more than one qualification round (utilizing the same maker’s gun) with a separate signup and fee due each time.

4) Qualification round(s) may be shot all day on Friday, September 22 and up until 2p.m on Saturday, September 23rd. Completed scorecards must be back into the AHFCA tables no later than 2 p.m. on Saturday, NO EXCEPTIONS. A blackboard in place there will rank the lead qualifiers and will be updated as scores are tallied throughout the day.

5) The Top-5, high-scoring Fox and Parker shooters will be selected for the respective Challenge Teams.

6) The Fox–Parker Challenge round will be conducted on HGF 5-Stand/Games field at 3 p.m. sharp on Saturday, September 23rd. A flip of the coin will decide the first team to shoot.

7) A total of 125 targets will be thrown for each team of 5 gunners. High cumulative score will decide the 2016 winning team. The cumulative score for each team will be calculated as follows: The sum of scores recorded by the HGF scorer + the official Parker scorer + the official Fox scorer. That sum will be divided by three (3) and rounded to the second decimal place. (Each scorer will use a hand operated mechanical counter.)

8 ) In the event of a trap malfunction that cannot be corrected during a team’s attempt at the Challenge targets, the HGF official will void that team’s score and a new round of 125 targets will be shot.

9) The wearing of Eye and Ear protection is required of all competitors.

10) All HGF/NSCA rules will apply for ammunition and maximum allowed shot size.

11) All shooters who qualify for the Challenge Team will receive an official Fox/Parker
Hat to commemorate this epic contest.

11. All shooters must have fun, be safe and conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike manner becoming of these two, fine organizations!

Is the five stand portion run in a standard five stand format or are all 125 targets released as a continuous flurry type event?

Thought I would add the registration flyer for the VGC.

http://www.hopkinshunting-clays.com/...up%20Flyer.pdf

? for the organizers of the Challenge? Are we limited to hammerless Parkers only or can we compete in the Fox/ Parker Challenge with a hammergun as well?

Thank you.

Rules do not say Parker hammer guns are not allowed. I say yes, it's Hammer Time!!
