AHFGCA Big Bore and Small Bore Championships!!

[Mike Koneski]

Ladies and Gents, coming up at the Northern SxS Challenge & Expo on September 14-17 at Rock Mountain, the AHFGCA Small Bore and Big Bore Championships will be contested!! Each Championship will consist of a total of 100 targets (2 @ 50 bird events) for the 12g "Big Bore" and for either/or the 16g and 20g "Small Bore" guns. The high score with the 12g will win the Big Bore trophy and the high score with the 20/16 will win the Small Bore trophy. Please let the desk at registration and the FOX Collectors table know you will be shooting to qualify. Thanks!!!

Maybe next year Mike. My daughter is getting married the end of the month. I need a small bore Fox though:)

[Mike Koneski]

Congrats Richie!! Enjoy the big day!! BTW, we'll announce a date change for 2018 when the shoot rolls around in a few weeks. Good things happening!! :)

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Rich, don't you have a Fox 16 ga upgrade/custom

[Rich Anderson]

Harold I sold it besides I don't really consider a 16 as a small bore.

[Daryl Corona]

Rich brings up good point. Should'nt the 12/16 be considered BB and the 20 be the SB all by itself?

[Rich Anderson]

20 small bore, 28 and 410 sub gauge that the way I roll:rotf:

[Mike Koneski]

Not for Fox. They added the 20 and 16 at the same time and considered them small bore. Especially when 10 and 12 ruled the day bagging game. Personally, I consider 16 and 20 to be mid-bore, with .410 through 24 as small bore.

Rich brings up good point. Should'nt the 12/16 be considered BB and the 20 be the SB all by itself?

BTW, it's not the tool that matters, it's the operator!!!

[Daryl Corona]

Got it! Now that you've thrown down the gauntlet I'll take on those 12's and 16's and may the chips fall where they may. Just make sure you spell my name right on those lovely trophies.:):whistle:

[Rich Anderson]

Fox always was behind Parker. Daryl you have to make sure you GET the trophy:)

[Daryl Corona]

I'll do my best good buddy. I do love my Parkers but those smallbore Foxes (20ga not 16) are really a cut above the 20's from Meriden IMHO as far as handling. My 20ga. Fox has the same frame dimensions as my 28ga Parker.

Looking forward to seeing and shooting with you Daryl. The events remind me of when we were doing the Ansley H Fox Championship at Pintail Point a few years back. :) :cool:

[Daryl Corona]

Yea Frank, where has the time gone?

[Frank Srebro]

Dave Noreen and Daryl at Pintail Point 2009. :bowdown: That year we had 31 Fox shooters in the competition.

Got it! Now that you've thrown down the gauntlet I'll take on those 12's and 16's and may the chips fall where they may. Just make sure you spell my name right on those lovely trophies.:):whistle:


I'd love to see you take some BLING home with you!!! Bring your A-game, D Man!!

[Daryl Corona]
