Yes, but for $25/night :shock:

The Quality Inn in Vestal, NY's dog policy was $25 for your entire stay.

Any award for "Worst Shooter but having a good time":rolleyes:?

Mike Koneski 07-20-2015 05:15 PM

Chuck, knowing who you'll be squadded with, I think you'll do pretty good!!

Chuck Bishop 07-20-2015 07:44 PM

Well, at your place and Hausmann I wooped up on the Polish guy from Ct., but he wooped me 2 years ago. I'm sure he'll be gunning for me. Can you set targets I like? Straight in comers that just hang about 15 yards in front of you about 20 feet high would be fine. Thanks in advance!

Be careful Chuck, those are real easy to shoot over.:)

Mike Koneski 07-20-2015 09:26 PM

Chuck, no problem, I can make them seem like they're hanging right in front of you!! :shock:

Chuck Bishop 07-20-2015 10:10 PM

Mike, I've decided your a nice guy even though you root for the Tide and Yankees:p

Bill Murphy 07-21-2015 09:16 AM

Chuck, there are better choices for squadmates than a "Polish guy from CT".

Mike Koneski 07-21-2015 01:18 PM

Bill, there are also worse choices! :eek:

Mike Koneski 07-29-2015 01:37 PM

Ladies and gents, this shoot is now 1 month away!!! Please remember that all cart rentals must be prepaid when you order them, and preregistration is important for logistics to be able to provide enough range help, trappers, birds, etc. If we have 50 preregister we will have trappers for 50. Therefore, if 150 show up, there just may be delays. We have 13 vendors booked so far. This is shaping up to be a fun event!! See you soon!!

Mike Koneski 08-06-2015 10:24 AM

Lodging update!! Just FYI, if you have a AAA membership and reserve a room/rooms at the Hampton Inn, you can get even more of a discount on lodging. Hope this helps!! See y'all in a month!! :)

Mike Koneski 08-13-2015 04:07 PM

We've added another vendor to the Expo, Steve Wesbrook of "Back in Time, LLC" will be attending.

Dean Romig 08-13-2015 04:20 PM

Mike, will RST have a presence at the event?

Mike Koneski 08-13-2015 04:58 PM

I do not know yet.

Mike Koneski 08-14-2015 12:53 PM

Great news for those who need shells. RST has not yet decided if they will be set up here for the shoot, however, they will take your order for shells and make sure the shells are delivered here to Rock Mountain.

Mike Koneski 08-25-2015 11:21 AM

Another vendor has been added, "Old Dominion Classic Doubles" will be joining in on the fun!!!

Mike Koneski 08-25-2015 11:26 AM

There has been some question regarding using smaller gauge guns in larger gauge events. That is fine, with one exception, ONLY 10 bore guns may be used in the 10 bore events. We also do not allow the use of tube sets or chamber reducers in any gauge. Thanks.

Jeff Kuss 08-25-2015 01:34 PM

I ordered my shells from rst yesterday.
Jeff

Mike Koneski 08-29-2015 09:09 AM

And yet another vendor has signed on with us, BRUSH CREEK ARMORY. We welcome them to our community!!

Mike Koneski 08-29-2015 05:14 PM

This is the updated registration form. Only change was in the Manufacturer's Cup data. THX!

Mike Koneski 08-29-2015 05:16 PM

There may be a few carts available for rent at $65/day. First come, first serve. Those of you who already reserved carts, you are good to go.

Gregory Miller 09-03-2015 09:35 AM

See you in PA
 
Will be staying at Hampton. Be up around noon on Friday.

Sent my GH to Oregon 6 months ago. Nice tight figured Damascus pattern. Came back flat brown with no pattern showing. No idea what went wrong, but they have agreed to re-do it. fortunately a few more in safe.:)

Mills Morrison 09-03-2015 01:09 PM

Everyone have fun

Bill Murphy 09-03-2015 07:23 PM

Do any of us have any news to forward?

John Truitt 09-04-2015 11:54 AM

To all of those who made it: best of luck and I hope everyone has a great time.

I wish I could be there. Tear em up everybody.

Dean Romig 09-04-2015 11:32 PM

We miss you Dr. John, Sir.

Brian Dudley 09-04-2015 11:37 PM

Mike,
I would have liked to attend as a vendor, but due to an important family obligation, I was not able to. Maybe next year.

Bill Murphy 09-05-2015 10:07 AM

I was there Friday. I want to live there.

Dave Suponski 09-05-2015 08:18 PM

Team Parker won the manufactorer cup

Daryl Corona 09-06-2015 09:36 PM

For those of you that missed this event, let me tell you if you are a shooter, this is the best shooting venue I've ever attended. Mike, his wife Susan, and his crew really did it up right. Fantastic targets and three courses. Large bore (10,12), small bore (32,24, 28 and .410) and mid bore (20,16). We had great weather, interesting vendors and a great cocktail/ouerderve event on Sat. thanks to Larry, Deb. Chuck, Dean and Dave. Geo. Purtil, Mike Smith and I shot our butts off (a total of around 26 rounds give or take a few).

I really enjoy the Southern, Ernie's is fun, but this event has the potential to be THE premier SxS event in the northeast. Mike gave out great trophies and could'nt have been a better host. Kudos to you Mike, Susan and crew. Thanks for a great 4 days of shooting and a wonderful food concession. (Those of you who were there will know what I mean.):whistle:

Stoats Rule!:)

Mike Koneski 09-06-2015 09:46 PM

Thanks to all you guys/gals who made this a great weekend for us!! Just FYI, we're already planning the 2016 event and it will most likely be the last weekend of September, the traditional weekend some of us have been accustomed to. ;)

Dean Romig 09-06-2015 09:59 PM

Mike & Susan,

We sincerely hope this was a worthwhile endeavor for you. Judging by your announcement of plans for 2016, I would guess it was somewhat better than "break even" for you.
That's good! You deserve it - you all put your heart and souls (and sweat) into it.

Mike Koneski 09-06-2015 10:15 PM

Thanks Dean! BTW, we hope you have a few places of honor for your newly acquired "bling". :)

Dean Romig 09-06-2015 10:23 PM

I'll make a special place for them if I can't find space.

Thanks Mike!

Dave Suponski 09-06-2015 10:41 PM

Ya that's if I ever get it to ya.....😁

George M. Purtill 09-07-2015 07:34 AM

I had a blast. Shot so much my shoulder hurts. The course was as good as I remembered it this spring , shooting on Sunday after Ernie's. The trappers were the most polite and courteous I have ever encountered, the machines worked well, there was only one goddamn rabbit station(!!!!!), the food was excellent, the serving staff was an eyeful, and the physical plant is top notch.
The PGCA was well represented. Dave did his usual great job with our tables. I got to see and fondle some of the PGCA archives- wow- John Browning's AH Parker. Breathtaking.
And it was great to see old friends, even our cross dressing Fox opponents.
As soon as you give us the date Mike, its going in my calendar. Hurry up.

Larry Frey 09-07-2015 07:50 AM

Thank you Mike and Susan for putting on such a great event. It takes a tremendous amount of work and you and your staff did a great job. Deb and I look forward to shooting this event next year.

At our Saturday evening social the winning ticket for the 2015 Raffle Gun was drawn and PGCA member George Bagley from Georgia was the lucky winner. I would like to thank Jeff Kuss for donating the beautiful GH Damascus gun and also Ed Morgan for doing such a great job once again running this successful fundraiser.

Dave Suponski 09-07-2015 08:44 AM

Mike you and Susan should be commended on putting on a fabulous event. For a first year event I thought it was wonderful. All the courses were very well laid out and the targets were perfect for us SxS shooters. Your facility is one of the best I have shot here in the Northeast. The food and scenery was wonderful....:rolleyes: Ah hell....I can't say enough good things about this shoot except that we will be back next year! Can't wait.....

John Truitt 09-07-2015 10:27 AM

I know it is very early after the shoot but would someone please post some additional pictures when they get a chance. Much appreciated.


Sounds like a great time was had by all. I truly hope to make it to the 2016 event.

Congratulations team Parker.

Congratulations to Mike and Susan!!!
