And remember the Vintagers with their name grabbed most of the Big name vendors and still the turn out was about the same :corn: I have talked to a few that shoot at Vintagers and a few at the Rock and it sounds as if the Rock was more the fun place to shoot and Vintagers more not sure how to put it, uptight no that's not it just not as easy going as the shoot at the Rock. Both would be great shoots if they could figure out dates that don't conflict :cuss: Why are we forced to choose sides....................

Don't make it a decisive issue. You just need to decide which event to go to; much like deciding which movie to see when two you like play simultaneously. "Choosing sides" creates problems and that never results in the best out come. Choose one of these great events and enjoy yourself. Let normal economics resolve the scheduling issue naturally, as I am sure it will.

Robin, I totally agree and I will go to the fun shoot everytime. The problem is when both have shoots on the same date you just split the vendors and that's a problem. Because when I am not shooting I like to go window shopping.....:D

Why not do both ? My wife and I made a four day road trip out of it. We left western PA Thursday morning towards the Vintagers, had lunch along the docks by the Bay Bridge, stopped at any winery or brewery along the way, then checked into a B&B Thursday evening. We spent Friday morning at the Vintagers then headed north towards the Rock, stopping at wineries and breweries along the way( do you see a pattern hear?). We spent Saturday morning at the Rock, then .... repeat. We arrived home Sunday afternoon , picked up our dog, then rested from the grueling weekend . We're looking forward to next year.

When you come from central Michigan it's already a road trip:eek:

No more conflict in dates gents . . . on the Fox collectors site Mike Koneski moved the dates for The Northern SxS up to Sept. 14-17, 2017.

That will conflict with a shoot here in Mich. The Tunnel of Trees in Petoskey. You can't please everyone:nono:

Great news Mike - that is the act of a true gentleman!

Thanks, Mike. Your post eliminates a lot of misunderstanding.

This is good news. For those that have the time, there will be a good selection of double gun events next year.
