Bill, no charge to sell anything at the Rock Mountain event. Just sayin’. Linda can bring your “stuff” here. I’m sure she can get what you told her you paid for them. :rotf::rotf::rotf:

I disagree with Craig on about all points he makes. Sorry, Craig, but running two major check writing events several miles apart on the same day or weekend makes no sense at all. I have been at G&D auctions in Maryland for decades and no parking lot swap meet has ever been held while the auction is in progress. Maybe somewhere else, but not in Maryland. I am editing this post to say that my comments refer to parking lot events and did not mention the tables set up inside the building in the side room at G&D auctions. However, there is no parking lot event during the auction. Sorry for not fully explaining my post, Craig.

They always have tables for dealers that are open for business during the auction.

Well over 90% of the guys I know go to the Southern to shoot. Shopping is secondary. If they do look through the tents it’s for a very specific item or they look in the parking lots for good deals that walk-ins bring to sell.

Uh no , he knows a good many from down south and the Midwest . Look it’s no secret you go to these things to sell and make money . So if you’re unhappy with table pricing take it up with the places you wanna go . Correct me if I’m wrong but Mike allows anyone to display and or sell at his place at no cost .

Unfortunately the shooting at the Southern is not that good if you are not participating in the Challenge Cup. The course at Deep River is always crowded and the targets never seem to change. Wait times at the stations can be excessive. Lots of guys shoot nearby courses Thursday and Friday rather than suffer through the waits and crowd at Deep River. Hopkins will have better shooting and Rock Mountain has some of the coolest targets I’ve ever shot. I look forward to Hopkins this Fall and Rock Mountain this summer. Management at Hopkins knows how to put on a shoot. The folks at the Vintagers last year didn’t have a clue. As far as vendors go, the Southern has the best venue by far. I hope Hopkins will be well attended by both shooters and vendors.

I first shot my first VGC and discovered SxS events when it was held at Pintail Point. In my opinion, it’s been downhill since. I missed the VGC this past September, and it doesn’t sound like I missed much. I won’t go back to Hopkins. The one time I attended there, it came across as an overpriced day of clay shooting at a very unremarkable venue with few vendors and bad food. Going forward, I will attend only the Southern. It has long been and continues to be an outstanding event celebrating its 25 year. I’ll save the fall for hunting.
