Just got back from 3 wonderful days at the "Hollow". Those of you who could not attend really missed a great time. Ernie knows how to run a shoot for shooters. The course is top notch and the targets were fun but challenging. This shoot is quickly replacing the Southern as my favorite shoot. I want to say it was great meeting new friends, putting faces with names and spending time with some quality old friends who made the shoot great. Too many people to mention but to everyone, Thank You. We should have some great pixs coming up
PS. Larry, Rich got your Double trap wet. I don't even take that gun out in the rain so don't worry I cleaned her up real good and will store her for you.

looks like yall had a good time and a good turnout...besides the shooting thats what its all about having a good time with family and friends... charlie

what were the Bo Whoop long range targets like?

Looooooong and rangy.

JD Shank broke 5 and I think that was the top score.

Dean had a good description of the Bo-Whoop targets. I am responsible for the B-W shoot for the Fox Collectors. While setting the targets on Thursday, we put a laser rangefinder on a tall pine tree behind the farthest target (the high one) and its top boughs measured 58 yards. The wind may have blown the bird back at times on Friday, but Saturday's birds dropped in front of the tree.

The high target was tricky with lots of curl, difficult to gauge. Some shooters took the high target first, coming off the trap, and that worked well for them. One gent with a 16 gauge Parker using RST 7/8 ounce loads of 8's, broke two birds. However many of the shooters reverted to heavier loads and Alex/RST told me they sold a lot of their specialty pigeon loads.

JD Shank was high gun with 5 ex 10 targets, using a W&C Scott 12 gauge pigeon gun. The Bo-Whoop trophy was taken by Tom Wyraz with 4 ex 10 using a XE/HE Super Fox. A more detailed rundown may be found at the link that follows.
