Default Drakes Landing SXS Shoot

Just got an email from Drakes in regards to a SXS shoot on August 1st. What a great venue, wish I could go. I am sure our own Mike Smith will be there. My wife is the tournament director of pro tennis money tournament that weekend, I am also on the board and will be working it--my son Jeremy is a 5 time champion. Hope many of you can go and support their first ever SXS shoot.
By the way what is a reverse pair?

Nice place to shoot will try to make it.

What is a "Reverse Pair" ? That one is new to me.

Hi William,

It would be great to see you there. A reverse pair would be shooting a pair, A bird first then B bird and then the opposite of that pair, B bird then A.

Good to hear William, we'll see you there Saturday.

Just wanted to push this to the top. It would be great to get a few more shooters out for this event. I shot both courses at Drake Landing yesterday, and for those of you who are fans, Dan has done it again. In the few weeks since I've been out there, he's completely changed the original clays course by adding a new road and many brand new stations. He wanted it ready for this event. I also got a preview of the food menu.

Mike

Mike, you had better take a lot of pictures......You know both Rich and myself would love to be there ! For anyone even thinking about going, go Dan always jumps over backwards to make it a great shoot. He doesn't let you down.
