Dave, I think you should craft up a short terms of surrender document for the Fox guys to sign and post it over on their forum. Something along the lines of:

"In recognition of the overall superiority of the Parker Gun and the extraordinary talents of those naturally drawn to them; and in order to spare "Team Fox" further injury and embarrassment, "Team Fox" hereby surrenders and acknowledges further struggle and competition would be pointless and agree to unconditional surrender to the forces of the PGCA".

Pete,I like how you think but those Fox guy's are not about to give up that easily. Hidden Hollow is a "Fox Rich" enviorment and they are just waiting for that to try and give us a spanking. Notice I said "Try" Anyway it should be great fun!

Also for those who are going to use the grills at Addieville remember you must provide whatever you need.

see you guys in the morning :bigbye: scott

The Barrage commences at 9:00 A.M. sharp... don't be late.

pour it on them boys for me.... charlie

It will be fun but will not be the same without Toolman leading a Fox team. See you soon.

Just back from Addieville. Cloudy and 60 degrees..perfect day to do a little shooting. We had 30 shooters including Chuck Bishop all the way from PA. Great people,great guns and great food. Here are a few pictures...because we love pictures!

Thanks Dave! Great fun today with everyone. It would have been nice to have shot with everyone but thirty-man squads are a bit unmanageable.
We had a bunch of laughs and were pleasantly surprised at a certain shooter's noticeable improvement in bustin' more birds (nice work Dave). It will be a long wait 'til next year's New England Fun Shoot.

Thank You Dave for the effort and hard work in getting this thing off the ground again this year.

Yeah Pete... Frank's enormous 5-Frame 10 Ga. Smoke-Pole could be heard and felt literally anywhere on the course! What a hoot!

I echo what Dean said. Hats off to you Dave pulling off an awesome event. Today I had a really great time. Thirty shooters today and I bet there will be more next year. As for the big 10 with 4 1/4 drams of BP, the semi-auto and over under guys shooting ahead of us got a good show today and got a kick and a few laughs seeing that ol' Parker in action. Hey, it's good advertising for the PGCA right?

As for the New Hampshire guys in my squad, get your hearing checked soon and sorry for all the smoke!

Thanks Dean, When you get to spend a day with good friends, shoot some great Parkers and laugh every minute it's all worth while. The upside is Hidden Hollow in a few weeks! Thanks to everyone that showed up. I don't think anyone went home wanting....Also I posted up a new album for anyone to view if you're so inclined.

A few more pictures...

4. Some of you may remember Frank and his Technicolor Smokepole at the New Year's Day Shoot at Major Waldron's.
He may be coerced to hire out for exhibition shooting.

5. Uh-oh.... :shock:


.

My thanks to Dave Suponski and the New England guys for putting on this shoot. I made some new friends, shot at some nice targets, ate good food, and got to shoot a AAHE 16ga and a 16ga Parker Hammergun. What a good time and the weather couldn't have been better. I'll see some of you guys at Hauseman's in a couple of weeks.

All the best:bigbye:

good pictures.. sounds like you fellas had a great shoot and a good time...by yalls posting and telling us what went on i feel like most of us have been to the shoot too...thanks.... charlie

In closing I would just like to thank everyone that brought food and condiments for our picnic and a big thank you to Larry for bringing the Polaris to haul my old a$$ around.....:bowdown:

Great time guy's....Thanks!

First order of business for next year is for Larry to install a governor on the Polaris :whistle:

I was lucky enough to bring home the leftover strawberry-rhubarb pie that Frank's mother made especially for this event. It tasted exactly like the pie my Mom used to make back in my youth. Thank her especially for me Frank - it was a real treat.

I thought that is why he gave Dave a ride, to slow it down:rotf:

hi, yes, thanks every one, i did have a good time, but i shot like sh#$* :crying: maybe i'll do better in PA :rotf:. boy, standing next to that 10 ga of Frank's and the BP loads was the best !:bowdown: and he shot it well! thanks ,Frank. scott

Ya Scott... a little birdy told me you had a bad day on the course.....:rolleyes:

Here's evidence that Dave got the ride of his life...

Good thing brother Jamie fetched Dave's hat (reminds me of Dave's lost gold grip cap from his BH two years ago)

Hatless dave.

Isn't that the sweet face of innocence??
