Default American Heritage Youth Side by Side Championship - Updated!

THIS EVENT IS FREE TO ALL REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS COMPLIMENTS OF THE PGCA

Many of you saw the announcement in the Parker Pages about the upcoming Youth Shoot the PGCA is sponsoring at the 2018 Southern Side X Side. In case you didn’t see it or you are a Forum Associate I wanted to post some of the details here. At this years Board of Directors meeting, held at the Southern, the idea for the shoot was brought up by Gary Carmichael. He stated he would donate a 16 gauge Parker Trojan to be given away at the event. After much deliberation and discussion a proposal was put together and presented to Bill Kempffer, Founder and President, of Deep Rivers Sporting Clays and Shooting School. His team reviewed the proposal and wholeheartedly got on board. In addition, Morris Baker, RST Shells, agreed to provide the ammo Brad Bachelder agreed to donate his time and talent to restore the gun.

The mission of this program is to attract young shooters to our double gun world. It is not a recruiting tool for any particular organization or a vehicle to demonstrate that one make of side by side is superior to another. It is open to any and all youth shooters 10 - 17 years of age. They may shoot ANY side by side. It is our hope that our fellow double gunners from LC Smith, Fox, Lefever, German Gun Collectors and any other groups or individuals shooting Side by side doubles will attend and participate.

The following are some of the particulars regarding date, time and rules. As everyone knows, when putting together an event such as this some things may change from what is originally published. If that happens notifications will be published on our forum. Please feel free to share this information with anyone interested in passing on our sporting heritage to future generations.

Date: April 28, 2018

Time: 1:30 pm

Venue: Five Stand


Shooting Participants: The event will be open to any shooter age 10 – 17 years.

Proposed Rules:
1) Shooters may use any Side by Side shotgun.
2) Shooters must use RST shot shells for the qualifying event.
3) The event will be shot at the 5 stand venue.
4) Shooters will be grouped according to age: 10 – 11, 12 – 13, 14 – 15, 16 – 17
5) Shooters will shoot 6 targets at each stand for a total of 30 shots.
6) Top gun in each group will be awarded a trophy
7) In case of a tie, scorecards will be compared and the first missed target will eliminate that shooter. If still tied, a shoot off will take place. A coin will be tossed and the winner will determine who will shoot first. The loser will choose which station will be shot.
8) Every shooter will have their name entered in a drawing, for the Parker Trojan, to be held at the conclusion of the event.
9) Age groups 10 – 11 and 12 -13 must have an adult gun bearer standing directly behind them to act as a safety monitor.
10) All shooters must sign waivers and Hold Harmless agreements.
11) Eye and ear protection required of all participants.
12) All Deep River rules are to be observed at all times.

The future of the shooting sports lies with the youth of today.

I fully understand the logic behind the requirement to use an American made sxs but I would think it might eliminate some individuals from participating. Why do we care what gun he/she is using as long as it is a sxs.

I am sure if a young shooter did not have an American sxs, one could be provided, matter of fact I'll loan a Parker DH 12 to any young shooter that wants to shoot. Eric

That’s a good point Gary. I’ll run it by the board. Shouldn’t be an issue.

The gun rule has been amended to allow any side by side.

My offer still stands if we have a shooter without a gun.

I have a young man who shoots in the Junior U.S. Open at Backwoods every year who if he is able to attend will be using one of my three Parkers.

I think if we talk this up and you guys that have contacts with the other groups will let them know about it we can have a really good turnout. Maybe we can come up with a flyer that’s downloadable so we can post the info at our local clubs and shooting venues. I keep imagining the look on the kids face that wins the drawing for the Parker.

I think a flyer type advertisement would be a splendid idea.
Something that could be posted in a lodge or clubhouse.

My thanks to Dean who today went out of his way to help get info in front of the sponsors and coaches of a youth sporting clays group.

They are out there, we just have to get the word out.
