I agree with Mike. Scheduling is the least of anyone's worries when picking dates for a sporting clays and check writing event in the fall. I used to hunt birds pretty seriously many years ago, but not seven days a week, four months a year. Both my dogs and I would have welcomed a day or two off during the long season.

I find it funny that the attitude used to be that the Third weekend in Sept was “vintagers weekend” come hell or high water. Even when it meant scheduling it on the same weekend of another already booked event. But they now have no issue with moving the date around. 2 weeks early last year, 2 weeks later this year.

I sure miss the old days when it was held at Pintail Point in MD.

The problem with the Vintagers is most of us remember what it used to be and how far it has fallen from that peak. Last year’s event was touted as the beginning of the resurrection but instead was one more nail in the coffin. Hopkins is a nice venue and has hosted the event before. I sincerely wish the organizers the best because it’s good for our community.

I agree Mike and I wish them well too. Hoping someday it will again be what it used to be.

Maybe this year...

I wish they would team up with Mike Koneski as many of us begged them to do.

Last year I was involved with the VGC and I strongly suggested that they attend either Ernie's or Mike's shoot and pick their brains to get an idea of what they would need to do to have a successful shoot. We all know how that came out don't we?

I asked why, and they said Rock Mountain & Hausemann's were too far out in the ''Sticks'', for the people to come to. the place they held it at last, was a complete disaster. Their words, not my. I wasn't at it.

When it was at Sandanona years ago that was pretty much in the sticks. But it was run properly and very successful. If they do a good job people will come but that's asking a lot. Don't ask me why they can't see the benefit of having it at Pintail Point where is was for a couple years. Centrally located, plenty of lodging and restaurants within easy driving. As they say it's a no brainer.
