Side By Side Shoot
 

Attention all members!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a Vintage Side By Side Shoot at Detroit Gun Club in Walled Lake, Michigan on January 15, 2012. All makes and gauges are welcome.
For mor info call DGC at (248)624-9647.

detroit? isn't that french/indian territory?

would like to keep what hair ive got left so i think ill stay south of the ohio....have fun fellows just cant make the trip... charlie

Tom, is this open to the general public ? Let's just say they normally are not real open to people outside of their club and it would be nice to see a change in that policy. There are quite a few Michigan shooters that are Parker members and vintage SxS shooters, just ask Paul Harm (pjforge I think is his screen name) he puts on a shoot out in Lapeer twice a year and draws 60 to 80 shooters, but everyone at that club is very welcoming. I could probably get a few shooters to come if some of the attitudes have changed at the Detroit Gun Club. Eric

I've posted a question to the DGC about guest policy. Will post as soon as I hear something.

Hope this answers some questions.

1) i am a member of Detroit Gun Club
2)I spoke with our club manager Scott Behenke before posting this thread.
He said "All shooters are welcome at this match"
3) All sporting and skeet tournaments are always open to non members
4) Non members may shoot rounds as a guest of any member in good standing.

Lastly I just plain love to shoot any kind of shotgun. You guys are always so helpful to anyone with questions I thought those of you in the area might enjoy this venue at a great club.

Tom,

Thank you for informing us of this SxS shoot at DGC. It seems that with you acting as host to your fellow PGCA, Fox, Smith, LeFever and other vintage gun association members that mutual fellowship in our common passion will be shared.

I have for the past season acted as an adjunct regional PGCA coordinator, i.e. volunteer, worker bee... Would you please check with your club manager for if the PGCA may use a at least an 8' table (provided by the host club) or better two tables for 16 linier feet of space to set up the PGCA banner and a few display guns, and to hand out copies of the Parker Pages which will conveniently include our informative membership application?

Also, it would be helpful if you would for your fellow members post the details of the shoot to include:
1. Address of the club
2. Anything special needed such as "Tell the gate guard you are here for the SxS shoot".
3. Registration time
4. Entry fee for us "guests" or the price of each event i.e. cost of 50 sporting clays, round of skeet and so on.
5. If food is provided in the entry fee or if food available at the club concession.

If you could provide the above requested information I think that a good group of Parker guys and other SxS enthusiasts would attend.

PS: Some PGCA members share their knowledge, less knowledgable guys like me share their time. We all do what we can. All is essential for a healthy organization. Thank you for volunteering!

Respectfully requested,
Mark

Tom
