RULES

Here are the official rules for the 2022
Fox-Parker Challenge taking place on
Sept 15 th -16th, 2022 at The Vintage
Gunner’s Cup held at Hausmann’s
Hidden Hollow.

1) Competition is open to members in

good standing of the AHFCA or PGCA as
of September 1st, 2022. Updated rosters
will be on hand to verify current
membership status. Dual members of
the AHFCA and PGCA must choose ONE
organization to represent at time of
registration. Anyone attempting to shoot
for both groups will be disqualified.

2) Shooters must use a shotgun pre-
approved 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
2022 Fox/Parker Challenge must first
shoot the American Classic Event
(Thursday and Friday) at Hidden Hollow.
This course will serve as the
“Qualification Round.” All shooters must
first pay for and acquire their score cards
from the registration office. Again,
you’re simply signing-up to shoot the 50-
bird, American Classic Event. Before
shooting, bring your scorecard to the Fox
tables where a Fox official will register

you for the FPC and hand you a raffle
ticket for a chance at making the
Challenge Team. For those that believe
they have scored high enough to earn an
anchor spot, submit your score card to
the Fox tables immediately after
shooting, then return it to the Hidden
Hollow registration desk in the usual
manner.

Any gauge gun may be used (12 bore --
.410). The shooter will specify the grade
and gauge of his gun when signing up at
the AHFCA tables. You may shoot as
many qualifying rounds as you wish
(utilizing the same maker’s gun) with a
separate scorecard and fee required for

each. One raffle ticket will be issued for
each round of shooting conducted on
the American Classic course.

4) Qualifying round(s) may be shot all
day on Thursday, September 15th and
up until 1 p.m. on Friday, September
16 th . Completed scorecards must be back
into the AHFCA tables no later than 2
p.m. on Saturday, NO EXCEPTIONS. A
blackboard will display/rank the lead
anchor qualifiers and will be updated as
scores are tallied throughout the day.

5) The Top-2, high-scoring Fox and
Parker shooters will earn the anchor
spots for their respective Challenge

Teams. The remaining six spots and two
alternate spots will be drawn at random.

6) The Fox–Parker Challenge round will
be conducted on the Hidden Hollow 5-
Stand field at 3 p.m. sharp on Friday,
September 16th . A coin toss will decide
which team earns the right to shoot first
or second.

7) A total of 125 targets will be thrown
for each team of 5 gunners. High
cumulative score will decide the 2022
winning team. The cumulative score for
each team will be calculated as follows:
The sum of scores recorded by the
official Fox scorer, the official Parker

scorer and a neutral party scorer. That
sum will be divided by three (3) and
rounded to the second decimal place.
(Each scorer will utilize 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
Hidden Hollow range official will void
that team’s score and a new round of
125 targets will be shot.

9) Proper eye and ear protection are
mandatory for all competitors.

10) All Hidden Hollow/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!

12. Last, but not least. PLEASE, IF YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO QUALIFY FOR THE CHALLENGE, PLEASE LET ME OR KEVIN MAC. IF YOU CANNOT STAY FOR THE EVENT. IF YOU ARE CHOSEN WE NEED TO KNOW IF YOU ARE STILL IN THE SAME ZIPCODE.
Owning a Fox is not a spectator sport.
