There will be the BigWhoop event at the BoWhoop field if you think you can beat the target setter.:):) All report pairs are scheduled at this time.

Looking forward to it and seeing you my friend. Unfortunately my “A” game is only a “B” game.

There should be an 8g field event too. If I remember correctly it's a 30 bird event over 5 stations.

Oh, you're talking about Big 8's as in shotguns. For a second there I had visions of muscle cars with 8 cylinders at 421, 426 and 427 cube displacements. :)

It is a Fox CE 32" 12ga with Full and smack your mama fuller! :shock:
A fine arrow if there ever was one, now if the Indian will perform we will see!!!:rotf:
Although there is a 32" Parker with F/F chokes that will get a workout too!
I seem to have caught the long barrel bug!!!:eek:

When the “Long Barrel Bug” bites, it rarely lets go. A friend told me that once. I didn’t listen. :shock::rotf:

It's especially fatal when that ''Long Barrel Bug" involves a smallbore.

Yeah it’s kind of amazing I was hung up on 26” bird barrels and 28” for skeet when I shot both a lot . Now it’s 32” and 34” even on the skeet field . As far as quail I’ve never gone longer than 30” but thirty years ago I’d not have been caught dead after quail or grouse with a 30” gun .

The 30” 28 gauge to say nothing of dare I say it a 32” 28 gauge that would be my Achilles heel . After having shot a couple 28 30” and handling several more lets just say they made a lasting impression that I’m sure I’ll carry to the grave .

It appears event costs have lessened as well .
