Getting in Wed night. Don't have a hammer gun, but looks like there will be a few extra
"lying around". Have a local friend who would let me take his hammer 12 Hunter Arms.
Even if I don't shoot a hammer gun, I'm sure you guys would let me tag along with one of those damn hammerless guns.

Do we have a start time for this event?? Or is it just show up and catch up on the course?? I'm driving up from Atlanta and not sure if I should leave out Wednesday night or first thing Thursday morning. Just curious. Thanks. Jim

I think last year we all tried to meet up around 10 am in the parking lot.

Harold NO you can't tag along with a hammerless gun in the hammer gun event:nono: What you can do though is use my 12ga lifter and shoot the event:rotf:
I figured meeting at Drakes at 9:30 by the time we get squaded up and on the course it will be 10am. What do you guys think about 50 targets in the am have lunch and 50 more after that?

That worked well last year, 50 in the morning 50 in the afternoon, one on each course, sounds good to me.

I think Dan serves steaks on Thursday nights. Would be cool to eat dinner there too.

I will bring the beer!

Mike,
As per my PM I would like to join all you "fine gentlemen" on this outing on Thursday 4/23.

Tom Pellegrini

We can have our own Southern event:)

Alright, in the parking lot by 9:30 it is then no problem. I think it's about a 6 hour ride for me so sleeping early Wednesday and leaving early from here. See you guys there!!

With Tom and potentially two others who have expressed interest but can't commit just yet, we are up to 23. I posted this on the Double Gun site yesterday as well.

Anyone else on the fence and need a push in the right direction? :corn:

Mike

Mike I don't think mark Ouellette is going to be able to make it.
I NEED: to get out and shoot, haven't shot a clay target since last August:eek: now where did I put The Hollywood Gun???

Buddy and I are shooting Wed afternoon-anyone else?
David

I may be able to make it. I planing on leaving early Wed. Morning, it's about a 5 hr drive for me. Carvel

I believe there will be several display/sale tables available on a first come basis. I will display,not for sale, three early, XXXX, lifters:20,16 ,12. These are all shooters. I will bring them over to Deep River Sat. morning and put them out if there is any room.
David

Thanks David that's great.
Are they for us PGCA members?
I have a couple Parkers I would like to sell and a couple to display.

First come, anyone with a double barrel. We have Parker, Fox, Smith, Boss, Greener that I am aware of.
David

I can't shoot Wednesday but Haley Pearsall said he would like to join you guys. Correspond through me he's not on the Parker site

We will both shoot Thursday

William Davis

This is getting to be quite a little gathering....I like it....a lot.:)

What time are you guys planning on arriving on Thursday. What time will shooting start.
Will there be a table to display guns for sale at Drakes.Thanks Craig

As I understand it there will be some tables for guns to be displayed and for sale. We will be there about 9am and get to shooting ASAP. We will meet Friday at 9:30am for the hammer gun event.

I spoke to Dan about putting some guns up for display, and as David said, he'll have some tables set up for us to do so. I don't think he'll mind if we put guns up for sale, but will check with him to make sure. I was already planning to check for another individual who will have six or more guns for sale and is shooting with us Thursday.

I'll have 2 and maybe 3 for sale.

I might have a couple for sale too

Dumb question but will RST be there selling anything?

You should telephone RST to find out if they'll be in NC at all.

570-553-1651

George, in the past they have had a tent at the Southern, but it's been hit or miss at a lot of the shows lately. As Dean said, I'd call to find out.

RST told me they are attending the Southern and will supply shells best call them in advance to reserve

William

I would like to shoot hammer gun on Friday. Julia wants to shoot too but she won't be using a hammer gun if that's ok

Mills, I believe it's time for Julia to go shopping for a hammer gun.

Mike
There really are not any rules. We just have fun and she is welcome to shoot any double she wants. This is an adhock ? group that just enjoys the guns , camaraderie, and the hospitality.See y'all there
David

Bill would you please pressure Mills into buying a hammer gun for Julia? I would be great full!

Mills has a multi year history of buying a gun for Julia at the southern so..... I have none for sale but she can use any one I own anytime. I will have a very nice D grade 30" dam 16a that would fit her just fine.
David

As best I can recall, Mrs. Morrison shoots an LC Smith!:)
(Not that I'd ever pay attention to something like that!)

Mike there will be plenty of guns available if your wife would like to try a hammer gun.

I shot today....ugly....just plain ugly:shock: Maybe it was adhock:rotf:

Ok, we're counting down the days! I spoke to Dan today and he's ok if you guys want to bring guns and either display them or put them out for sale. He just said to let him know how many tables we need when we arrive and they would be happy to accommodate.

As a reminder, Dan will have both lunch and dinner options available to us on Thursday, and the food is always outstanding, so please plan to stay for dinner if you're shooting with us in the afternoon. I believe Elizabeth and the Grits Girls will be there around 4:00, which is too late for shooting, but just in time for dinner. It sounds like a few people may have called to reserve carts as well, which shouldn't be necessary. On a typical Saturday they run over 400 shooters through the office and I've never been without a cart. :)

Maybe if Rich is lucky, his girlfriend from last year will show up and pull targets for us again. Daryl, we tried to tell ya!

Looking forward to seeing all of you!

Mike

She e-mailed me yesterday and she will be there for the entire weekend.

Excellent photoshop of that pic! The dead giveaway is that Rich isn't all over her like a bad suit.

Photoshop? Me? Noooooo. And besides, I have the pic to which you're referring Dean, but it wasn't exactly appropriate for this forum. :rotf:

M.

Hey guys,

The women at Drake Landing that I desire as girlfriends may not be Cindy Crawford but at least they are real!
