I believe this is a Vintagers event. Is anyone else going?

I've tried to shoot at Varney's a few times but they're never open on weekends. I called them last year and was told they only did shoots by appointment.... very frustrating :vconfused:

... And now they are having a major SXS shoot?? Where were the advertisements?? Who else knew about this??

If you go, use your insect repellant - the Maine black-fly season has commenced and is in full force in central Maine.

Remember... "Black Flies - Defenders of the Wilderness" :eek:

I don't think it was well advertised Dean. I found out about it last Sunday when a guy from Maine handed me a flyer while I was skeet shooting at Major Waldron's. Looking at past year results for this shoot they have had only 30 or fewer shooters participating and this is the 6th annual?

I used to shoot ATA trap at Richmond F&G which is near Varney's so I am familiar with the trip and area. I thought it would be fun and yes I put a bottle of Ben's bug juice in my shooting bag.

Suponski might have a New Hampcha border pass but he'll have to go around Massachusetts... :corn:

My Parole Officer frowns on me traveling accross the border with firearms. How do you fellows get away with it?

Scott if you come to Hausmans in June I'll try to slip you a couple:) I'd give you one also John but I know you are to scared to appear...but if you do grace us with your smiling face please bring the 410:)

Now regarding the Old Pollock....IF he did shoot the 410 there would be no tomorrow....at least for him as his depression over the long run of goose eggs on the score sheet would push him over the edge. If anyone needs a 12 it's Dave:rotf:
