[Austin Smith]

If anyone is in or around Montana or wants to make a trip up for a shoot this summer, here’s a couple of links to get more info. Last year was a lot of fun and a lot of clays to shoot at over a couple of days! Thanks for looking!

This sounds like a great shoot Austin and I like your rules. Maybe, just maybe a road trip might be in order if the stars line up.

Awesome, Daryl! The guy that coordinates it, Charlie has put it on for quite a few years now and he’s a great guy that has helped me a lot with checking and fixing a few things with my guns and build the love for these old side by sides we all share. Hope to see a lot of you there!

Sounds like a great event, but:

"Most any SxS qualifies due to their basic antiquated design."

Really?

I didn't know that Charlie was in on something like this! He's been a friend for many years. I'm actually the one who got him interested in s/s shotguns when I took my vhe20 along on a Montana hunt with him - all he had was his father's Mod 12 at that time. He's a "reformed" geologist and worked with and for me in Alaska and California in the 90's. He's a very bright and talented and self-taught gunsmith and is getting very good at engraving these days. I help him on Parker values sometimes when he gets one in the shop.

That’s awesome! He’s a great guy and always willing to help out! He actually spent time in England apprenticing with a gunsmith over there. I know that gentleman has passed but still has contacts over there and I believe that’s where he gets most of his inventory to sell at his shop.

I’ve signed up along with my brother who lives in Butte. See you folks there.

Fantastic, Francis!
