Hausman's Northeast SXS Classic

[C.O.B.]

In addition to the trophy for each guage RST provides the winner a case of shells, or so it was last year. I lucked out and took home the 28ga event this year I'm stepping up to a 20ga.

Congratulations Rich. I was fortunate enough to take the 12ga. trophy with my Gr2,32"F/F hammergun and also received a flat of shells. I'd like to thank Morris, Alex and Jill for their support and awarding of shells to the winners. I'm interested, as a former poster had suggested, in what gun/load the winners of such events used to take their trophy. We should recognize our members for their accomplishments using a Parker in major competitions. So what were you shooting and what was your score?

[C.O.B.]

I was shooting my VHE 28 skeet. Ammo was reloaded using AA and Rem STS hulls with #8 shot. I can't recall the exact score but it was in the 40's. A great day behind a nice Parker.

[Autumn Daze]

COB, If I remember right you shot a 44. You done good.....

Bill, there is not much activity about Hausman's this year on the Fox Collectors site or the Doublegun BBS. Perhaps it's a reflection of the long recession? It always seemed like a Fox collector event which is fine, perhaps something is going on or not going on with their collectors group. You are right, it is beautiful country, and I have always had a good time. Please bring that 3 frame 16ga I really would enjoy seeing and handling it.

Hard to believe, northeast PA, June 3rd and there is a Frost Warning for the area, must be the result of global warming

thats about right. I remember in high school I was on a traveling baseball team and in June we went to Butler, Pa. Back home in Va Beach it was already 90 degrees so up I went with short sleeves and shorts only.

I froze my tail off that whole week.

Hope everyone has a great time and I cant wait to see pictures.

I'll be bringing a few twenty-eights to shoot... along with various twelves and a sixteen or two. I'm really looking forward to visiting with good friends for a few days, especially after missing getting to the Southern this year. Kathy and I will be on the road before sun-up so we'll see you all real soon.

Wishing everybody a safe trip.

[C.O.B.]

Bill I wish you had told me earlier (like befor I got there) that this was a shooting weekend NOT a check writing one. I missunderstood, wrote a couple of checks and did manage some shooting

Another great time at Hausmanns and only two weeks befor its time to do it again for the U.P. shoot

[Bill Murphy]

I wrote one check in three days, had that one written within five minutes of entering the vendor tents on Friday. For the rest of the weekend, I maintained control.
