Hausmann’s NE SxS 2026

[Sara LeFever]

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm the 2026 dates for Hausmann’s? I’m assuming June 4-6?

My work will be restricting time off for May/June next year, so I’m trying to give my boss an idea of when I’d like to be off. :rolleyes:

Thanks!
Sara

[Daryl Corona]

It's always been the first weekend of June and I don't see that changing. You could give Ernie a call to verify.

[Mike Koneski]

I am 99.99% sure it’s June 4-6

[Bill Murphy]

June 5-7 according to Ernie's website. Search hiddenhollowsportingclays.

[Mike Koneski]

June 5-7 was the 2025 shoot. The first Thursday through Saturday in June of 2026 is the 4-6

[Bill Murphy]

Sorry, I forgot what year it is and Ernie forgot to update his website. Sorry for my error.

[Mike Koneski]

Sorry, I forgot what year it is and Ernie forgot to update his website. Sorry for my error.

It's OK Bill, we'll forgive you THIS time, but don't let it happen again!! :rotf:

[Bill Murphy]

What are our favorite hotels or other places to stay now that the Comfort Inn in Vestal is gone? I have always liked Vestal because of the pleasant drive to Ernie's every morning. The golf course restaurant is on the way back to Vestal after a day of shooting and shopping.

[Mike Koneski]

More shooters are now either using AirBNB or VRBO. Some are now staying in Tunkhannock hotels instead of Vestal too.

Ernie mailed those postcards out a few months ago. :clap:

Sarah, I hope you can get Pete to upgrade to a Hawaiian shirt for Friday. You can do it! Use your feminine wiles. :cool:

[Pete Lester]

Sarah, I hope you can get Pete to upgrade to a Hawaiian shirt for Friday. You can do it! Use your feminine wiles. :cool:

I am going to continue to remain cautious. I think Hawaiian shirts could be gateway clothing. It starts with just a colorful shirt and before you know it you find yourself on a squad of guys wearing grass skirts. :rotf:

[Mike Koneski]

:rotf::rotf: I guess grass skirts would be alright, they can be considered South Pacific kilts. Just don’t wear socks and shoes, that would be wrong!!

[Daryl Corona]

So what's wrong with wearing grass skirts, Hawaiian shirts (and sock and sandles if you must)? It means you could be somewhere in the south Pacific and never have to see snow again.:)

[Mike Koneski]

Never seeing snow again would be awesome! But Daryl, shoes and socks? A grass skirt needs bare feet or sandals. Wearing shorts and socks higher than you ankles is bad enough and truly a fashion faux-pas, but socks with a grass skirt!! The horror! The horror!!

[Daryl Corona]

At our age they would be compression socks.:eek:

[CraigThompson]

Never seeing snow again would be awesome!

Dude don’t say that , my paternal grandfather said something along those lines one winter and he didn’t live long enough to see snow the next winter .

[Daryl Corona]

Dude don’t say that , my paternal grandfather said something along those lines one winter and he didn’t live long enough to see snow the next winter .

At this point if that's what it takes to not see snow or a winter like this again at least he got his wish.

[allen newell]

If I never see snow again I'll be eternally happy.

[Sara LeFever]

Is it too early to start a roll call for Hausmann’s? I’m looking forward to it, and hopefully better weather! Pete and I will be there (with cookies) on Thursday afternoon, and staying for the duration.

[Andrew Sacco]

I can only shoot Thursday have folks in from Italy on Saturday but I plan to shoot my face of Thursday. Working Friday grrrrrr....

[Austin J Hawthorne Jr.]

My son and I will be there, and maybe my daughter-in-law.

[QUOTE=Daryl Corona;444182]So what's wrong with wearing grass skirts,
Because of the wind that's why:shock:

[Daryl Corona]

Scott,

I had a dream about Mike in a grass skirt and haven't been the same since.:bigbye:

[Clark McCombe]

No moss gathering on my Parkers.
Peacedale today.
Vintagers at Bristol CT next Saturday.
And Hausmann’s June 4.
It’s a great spring for road trips !

[Frank Srebro]

Scott,

Sorry Daryl but I have to post this. It was a little chilly the other day but here's Mike getting in some early practice for Hausmann's :rotf:
.

[Clark McCombe]

This could be the gateway to something more serious….
When I grew up we had a drag strip in the next town over….
I’m afraid to ask what an 8ga drag might be today

[Mike Koneski]

Scott,

I had a dream about Mike in a grass skirt and haven't been the same since.:bigbye:

I have the legs for it. Just sayin.

[Stephen Hodges]

Bill J and I will be driving down Thursday morning and staying until over on Saturday.

[CraigThompson]

Sorry Daryl but I have to post this. It was a little chilly the other day but here's Mike getting in some early practice for Hausmann's :rotf:

Now Frank if you can scrape up enough grass skirts for you , Corona and Chuckles Bishop the three of you and Koneski can be a “Hula Boys Quartet”:rotf:

[Daryl Corona]

I have the legs for it. Just sayin.

Sorry Daryl but I have to post this. It was a little chilly the other day but here's Mike getting in some early practice for Hausmann's :rotf:

Thanks Frank, actually not as bad as I envisioned. As long as he wears his tighty whiteys.:nono:

[Daryl Corona]

I have to take this opportunity to remind everyone that as the Southern is about the Parker/Smith challenge, Ernie Hausmann's is about the BoWhoop events and the Fox shotgun brought to you by the AHFCA and administered by yours truly.

There will Fox shotguns there for anyone to try and see for themselves why we love them as you love your favorite vintage gun. There will be shotguns from 28-32" and in 12,16 and 20gauges.

At least stop by and say hello.

[Sara LeFever]

It will also be the 17th Annual “Uncle Dan” Lefever Cup AND the 10th Annual Fox-Lefever Challenge! So, get those Lefevers ready too!

[Daryl Corona]

Looking forward to seeing you and Pete.

[Mike Koneski]

Thanks Frank, actually not as bad as I envisioned. As long as he wears his tighty whiteys.:nono:

No tighty-whiteys for this guy!!

[Mike Koneski]

I'll be tuned up with my 12g Lefever and ready for Team Lefever to win the Fox-Lefever this year!! I am on a hiatus from the Uncle Dan Cup. Maybe Ken can win this year?? Or, Sara can step up and grind them! :clap: BUT, she has to do it in a Hawaiian shirt and grass skirt. Style points. :cool:

[Daryl Corona]

No tighty-whiteys for this guy!!

At least wear something under there.

[Frank Srebro]

I have another and spectacular image of Mike decked out in full Hawaiian regalia and holding a Parker but I’m saving it for his Northern SxS shoot in July, or maybe for the cover of the Parker Pages. :)

[Daryl Corona]

We just can't get enough of Mike. Save it for PP.

[Bob Jurewicz]

For the first time in a long time I will miss Ernie's NE S/S.
Will miss seeing everyone!
Hope to make Mike's Event.
Bob Jurewucz

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Yep, setting up camp Wednesday afternoon, leaving Saturday afternoon.
Looking forward to it.

[Daryl Corona]

Sorry to hear that Bob. See you at Mike's.

Aw, I’m sorry to hear that! You will be missed! Hope you can make Rock Mountain.

[Sara LeFever]

I’m definitely going to try, but if you’re expecting a grass skirt, you’re gonna be disappointed! I’ll leave the skirts to you brave fellas. :)

[William Machauer]

I hope to be able to get there on Saturday. Sadly I cant leave home for more than a day. However I'm only about 2 hours away so its not too bad of a drive.

[CraigThompson]

Saturdays the main event only I think 80 birds . Of course you can do it twice hammer and hammerless . Then of course on Sunday you can go to Rock Mountain for a handicap event which I believe is 100 targets .

[CraigThompson]

I’m definitely going to try, but if you’re expecting a grass skirt, you’re gonna be disappointed! I’ll leave the skirts to you brave fellas. :)

Seems to me Corona and Koneski have the legs for grass skirts :rotf::rotf::rotf:

[Bill Murphy]

Something I cannot unsee.

[Frank Srebro]

Seems to me Corona and Koneski have the legs for grass skirts :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Good funning Craig but if I find a good single pic of you a grass skirt may happen too. :rotf:

AAARRRGH… I need to gouge out my mind’s eye…:eek:

Not so fast buddy. After you leave these shores for the Phillipines you'll be wearing a barong tagalong or a one of your nehru jackets from the 70's or maybe you can still fit in one of those leisure suits in the back of your closet. Just think of how Walter Huston was dressed when he went to help the natives in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. I can see it now.:)

Here’s a pic from November 2018 at my nieces wedding I was wearing a barong tagalog . If memory serves I gave all my leisure suits to Mike “Archie Bunker” Koneski :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

[Daryl Corona]

Which one is Mrs. Thompson?

[Mike Koneski]

You and Patti could make those grass skirts work!

Looks like you married above your pay grade.:bowdown:

She and I are the exact same age and birthday although since it’s a 12-13 hour time difference I tell her she’s older than I am (by 12 hours:rotf:).
