I am showing up with 4 including myself. It should be a great time. The only hard part is picking out what to shoot!

Great let’s plan on shooting together if you want.
I’m planning to attend and bring at least 2 of my sons and 2 grandchildren at this time.

Wonderful!
I’ll try to bring one of the kids

Glad all you folks are going to make the shoot. You will have a good time. If you are bringing young shooters, and they don't want to walk the whole sporting course, me and a couple of other guys will be manning the five stand to assist new shooters or guys who just want to shoot their favorite grouse gun but not submit it to the rigor of 100 rounds. I will be bringing a 20 ga over/under and a 20 ga SxS for new/inexperienced shooters to try. Overall, it will be a fun day.

I have just been informed by Addieville that the RGS shoot for tomorrow is sold out! Thanks to the folks from the Parker group that decided to attend the event. It will be a fun time. See you tomorrow.

Please post some photos of the event. Would like to see the Parker family in action!

Well, the shoot went off yesterday as planned. A little wet in the morning but the rain moved out by mid morning and the weather was great the rest of the day. Probably a bit warm out on the course for the shooters, but better than getting rained on. It was a great turnout, we had 146 shooters, and the RGS folks were happy. It was a bit chaotic in the morning trying to get everyone registered and out on the course, and I want to thank those who attended for your patience. Once the shooting started it seemed to go pretty smoothly.
The banquet was fun, the food good, and I think most everyone had a good time. I want to thank the Parker folks who came out to support this event and hope to see you back next year.
A special shout out to Clark and his son who drove all the way in from Long Island to attend, that was one long road trip to make in one day.
Hopefully I will get some pictures to share this week.

Just want to say a big Thank You to Donald McQuade and the RGS folks.
Bennett and I had a great time - worth the long drive around - the ferry schedule would have gotten us in too late.
We made new friends, shot with a fellow apple grower from MA and his family.
The food was terrific. The bottle of Bourbon I brought home for Beverly is going to be cracked open tonight:)
An observation; it was easy to pick out my gun on the rack as we moved from station to station, its was the only SXS there.
And happy to say, my shooting performance improved 300% from the Southern!
Best to all C & B -Clark and Bennett
