Default 8 Gauge Event at the Southern

Below is a copy of the Tom Archer's post on the L C Smith Collectors Association website about the 8 Gauge Event at the Southern. If you are interested please respond.

8 GAUGE
Posted by Tom Archer on February 5, 2016, 1:47 pm
66.32.49.204
As my SOLE INTENT is to get the attention of ALL you guys, I seriously thought about entitling the subject line "NEKKED WOMEN"; but since we're all into old shotguns and not gals, I'm hoping "8 GAUGE" works just as well because an 8 GAUGE EVENT during this year's LC/Parker shootout is the only purpose of this post.

Therefore, my question is as follows: how many of our members who plan to attend the Southern would jump at the opportunity to shoot a rare and genuine original L.C. Smith 8-bore double? The reason I need to know is because I'm wasting my time if there's no interest; so PLEASE RESPOND.

Given that time and space constraints at Deep River are limiting factors, here is what I am envisioning: a 5 or 6 bird/clay event at the 5-stand to take place between the end of our Round 1 qualifier and the start of the 2016 Challenge shootout for only $20 to include targets and shells (the hard part!). I'm hedging just a bit on the fee, as I don't yet have a hard number on shells cost; but think I'm close. The targets presentation would be high birds and deep crossers

At this point, I have 3 Smith guns committed and one, hopefully two, Parkers and am wide open to additional gun commitments. If I receive sufficient numbers of Smith and Parker loaner gun commitments, we can make this an actual event and award some sort of trophy. Speaking for myself, I would be thrilled for the privilege to shoot an 8-bore Smith for $20 were I given that opportunity; but the unknown question is would you?

Again, please give me your feedback as I'm planning all events now; and time is getting short. And thanks ever so much for your thoughts.
Tom

I think we have a few others. Maybe John Puglisi can bring some of the ones on his website and maybe he'll make a few sales.

Mill that is a fantastic idea. Is there anyone who knows him to ask?

I bought my 8 gauge from John and could not be more pleased. I don't know him though. I think he thought I was a tire kicker at first

If anyone besides Jimmy have an 8 gauge they are willing to bring, please let me know, via PM if you prefer.

If you want to shoot an 8 gauge (even if you don't have one) please post or pm me. We need a head count as to how many shells we need.
