Thanks Mills,
I just haven't heard really much about these events, are they hammer & hammerless, any maker?

In the past it has been Parker vs. Smith, so one of those two makers was required. I am pretty sure it is very informal. I doubt they would not let you shoot with another brand but your score might not count.

Hammer or hammerless are both fine, if the rules are as in years past.

I was trying to find where this was talked about, but did not find it, I think you had said that this was not a Parker/Smith event, Mills?

In the past this has been a Parker/Smith event. I believe it was shot on the 5 stand on the right, shoot as many times as you like. Shoot offs if needed to determine the top 5 for each team and that was it, no challenge event. At least that what my memory is telling me.

The 16 and 20 are not hammer event and hammerless event. They are just 16 or 20 and they must be a Parker or Smith gun. They are part of the LCS-Parker Challenge with trophies and perpetual cup for each. These are usually finished on Thursday.

Oughtta see if he’d be up for adding a 10 gauge event . There was talk of it I believe for 2020 and of course the whole mess was cancelled . Heck if they’d have a separate challenge for the 8 , 10 , 12 , 16 , 20 and the hammer gun I’d give serious thought to forgoing the course entirely .

Craig, one year there was a 10g Challenge. I think it was eliminated due to logistics but I can’t be sure. I do remember one year shooting 20, 16 and then 10 on the 5-Stand. Easy to remember, I was straight with that 10 and missed my last bird!!

Mike Koneski 04-14-2022 09:21 AM

I looked up in my records and in 2019 there was a 10g Challenge event. That was the one and only year.

I hate to do this, but I am canceling my trip to the Southern. Family and work obligations are just too much this week and I won't be going. I'll miss seeing all of you and talking Parkers! Hopefully next year...

I am going to try and make to Hausmann's instead, which will be the first time for me going there.

Have fun!

Jay - You’ll love Hausmann’s!

Sorry you're going to miss this Jay,
but I know all about work and family commitments. But unfortunately, work is what makes this possible and I wouldn't want to do without my family.
We'll see you at Hausmans.
Stan
