Don't let those guys know but I am sure if a lot of us were shooting an inferior gun like a Fox we would have taken them out in the pouring rain and shot them too. Hmmmmm maybe that means the Fox shooters are not smart enough to come in out of the rain :biglaugh:

The AHFCA (of which I am also a member regardless of the fact that I don't have a Fox) are a great bunch of guys and there are some crack shots among them..... but they'll get their come-uppin's next spring at Addieville with a hearty handshake.

Hey Pete,

Great American Side X Sides are like women. I have my blond Parkers which are always noticed and in high demand. There are also my svelte brunette sidelock LC Smiths. With those are redheaded AH Fox's. Finally, I was recently introducted to a couple auburn haired Lefevers. They all have a special place in my heart, I mean my safe.

Congratulations to Team Fox. We need Team Fox, and Team Smith, to shoot with Team Parker, in the Fall Classic at Backwoods Quail club in October.
Ya'll come. Tom

I can't find an "official" score posted of the events at Hausmann's. Perhaps the claim of victory is premature.

[Dean Romig]

And no news of the drawings either....

[Rich Anderson]

I had forgotten about the drawings, what were the prizes? Some RST purple 16's perhaps:)

[Larry Frey]

I believe one of the prizes is an RBL and from an earlier post there was a claim that they handle better than small bore Parkers and Foxes.:rolleyes: They must be quiet a gun.:bowdown:

[Dean Romig]

I shall be forever skeptical of such a claim.

[Rich Anderson]

Nothing handels better than a small bore Parker. I can't speak for a Fox as I have never handled one, the RBL however is another story. I haven't handled one I care for.

[Mark Ouellette]

I brought home from Hidden Holllow a AH Fox CE 16 gauge that to me handles better than my DHE 20. It may be the stock dimensions and point of balance but the little Fox is quite a gun! My DHE 20 is butt heavy and with the skeleton butt I think it will remain that way.

Of course, I also shoot a Fox CE in 12 bore very well along with my LC Smith Grade 3's. I do however pay much attention to protocol and show up for large gathering such as Hidden Hollow properly armed, with a pair of Parker 10 gauges!

Rich, I know what you are thinking but I think I'll keep my DHE 20... Also, I guess I'll have to start collecting those RST 16 hulls.

[Rich Anderson]

Mark I didn't know you had a 20. If your going to start scrounging RST hulls you'll need a suitable 16 and I just happen to know someone with a very nice GHE 16 skeet configured gun for sale:)

[Mark Ouellette]

Rich,

Was that the gun you shot at Hidden Hollow?

Mark

[Rich Anderson]

MARK

No ios not that one. Its exactly like your GHE 12 skeet.

[Dean Romig]

Mark, if you're going to start scrounging RST hulls you better shoot about a station or two in front of Dave Miles.... that man is a scroungin' fool. He could have filled a G.I. can at Hausman's with the RST hulls he scrounged.

[Mark Ouellette]

Dean,
I do appreciate a man with talent!

Rich,
When I recover from the new Grade 3 we will have to talk.

[Dave Miles]

Mark, if you're going to start scrounging RST hulls you better shoot about a station or two in front of Dave Miles.... that man is a scroungin' fool. He could have filled a G.I. can at Hausman's with the RST hulls he scrounged.

Dean,
Rich and I ended up with about 300 of the purple 16 gauge hulls, and probably close to 1500 of the 2-1/2" 20 gauge hulls. (which are very hard to come by) So, we're good on hulls for awhile, as I already have about 4000 of the 16 gauge hulls. (not purple) I have about 1500 rounds loaded for the U.P. Shoot. :)

[Mark Ouellette]

1500 rounds for the Yupper? I better start loading for my Big Friend Ten!

[Rich Anderson]

I prefer to look at the collection of spent hulls as recycleing VS scrounging being the enviromentally friendly person I am.

Mark I will go through about 3 flats of shells myself at the U.P. shoot:eek: It is a very good venue for those of us who like to pull the trigger.

[Dave Suponski]

Guy's don,t forget to bring the cameras. We need to see pictures of this great shoot.Especially the pigeon ring.....:)

[Rich Anderson]

Dave to truly appreciate the "Ring" you need to be there in person. I'm sure Dave will have a camera and I know Mark will so we will try to take some time from our busy schedule of shooting, looking at nice guns, visiting with friends, enjoying a fine cigar, enjoying a cold beer at the end of a long day behind a Parker to take some pictures so you can enjoy the U.P. shoot vicariously through your computer:rolleyes:

[Mark Ouellette]

Dean,

You should pack your SUV and come. Drive across Ontario and spent the night at my home which is a half hour from the border crossing at Port Huron/Sarnia. Then, venture the final 8+ hours into the U.P. We Michigan Parker boys have plenty of Parkers for you to shoot so what is keeping you? I also have Fox, LeFever and LC Smiths from which to choose. Oh there are ever a few RBL's in case we need to shoot Hevi Shot in the "Duck Ring". What? You have never heard of the Michigan Duck Ring???
