All's Quite

The lowest prices for ammo, powder and shot I am seeing currently is listed at Dawson's in northeastern Ohio.
That is a 2 hr drive for me but no help in you live farther away.
Last summer they had a case of Rem SP-10 wads. I bought a few bags then watched their web site show they were all sold a few weeks later.

That's only 5 lost targets out of 230 for an overall 97.8% average on 230 with four different guns!

I am going to go out on a limb and say nobody is ever going to beat that record.

I saw Mario at the Vintage Cup and I remembered his incredible performance at Hausmann's. His performance at Warrington was even more amazing.

He brought his A game or maybe his AAA game to the preliminary events at the Vintage Cup; 12ga Hammerless American Classic (50), 16ga Hammerless American Classic (50) 20ga Hammerless American Classic (50), 20ga Any Maker (50), 28ga Any Maker (49), 410 any Maker (49).

That's a 99.33% average for all events, 298 out of 300.

He did not shoot in the 80 target main event, which had trappers at every station, but if he had I suspect the only possible trophy for anyone else would have been second place as I doubt anyone could beat him.

So has anyone actually talked to him or watched him shoot? Seems to have come out of nowhere. If he shoots a Parker, why isn't he a member?

Certainly is, he would give George Digweed a run for his money for sure.

I shot part of an unremarkable round of 5 stand with him at Hausmann's. He quit about half way through the round. My recollection was that he had missed a couple of targets at that point. I don't recall what make gun he was shooting but I believe it was a small bore gun. For reference, I think the best scores shot on the 5 stand that week were around 20 (+-).

I observed him shooting the long bird at the Vintagers event, the far trap distance with a rangefinder was measured over 70 yards.

Mario was shooting a 20 gauge and he shot it more than once, his best round was 9 out of 10, great shooting with a 20 gauge on those long targets.

I do know of a LC friend who shot with Mario on at least 1 event, possibly more, I didn't have a chance to chat with him

I'd put my money on King George.

I shot a LC Smith on that 5 Stand, it was given to me by a LC Smith Ass. member to try, he also handed me 12 shells to shoot it. When I shot the 12 shells I moved off of the stand. Quit? And yes, I recall missing more than a few on that 5 Stand, I believe I missed most of them. But anytime I shoot a Vintage SXS, it is never unremarkable.
