Addieville Sporting Clays Fun Shoot 12/14/14
 

PGCA Members and non-members are cordially invited to a fun shoot at Addieville East Farm Sunday December 14, 2014. The sporting clays course, one of the best in the North East opens at 9 am.

Arrangements have been made with Addieville for PGCA Members and non-members to shoot the course.

PM me with any questions. This is a fun shoot and opportunity to show off your latest/favorite Parker and/or other double and meet/greet fellow PGCA folks and guests.

BYO lunch etc.:bowdown:

Please respond to this message if you plan to attend the clays shoot. I've given the folks at Addieville a rough number of attendees, but I would (and they would) appreciate a firmer number to plan for.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing everyone at this fun shoot.

I'm in!

Allen,
I'll be there as will Deb if the temps are moderate. I have tickets for the UCONN mens basketball game in Hartford that day but I don't think I'll have any problem talking my grandson into taking them off my hands.:)

What about Edgar, Dave S., Dean, Brian D. etc. etc? George P. ? Frank ?

I think Kathy and I will be there also... weather permitting.

I think it's weather permitting for all of us. Hopefully, the weather will hold.

Count me in too.

Question, I have two friends that don't shoot but are interested in giving it a try, my I extend an invitation to them? I don't want to disrupt anyone's shooting but this might be a good introduction to sporting clays for them.

I don't think you could find a better introduction to SC than this group.

Go ahead Robin, they're absolutely invited!

I respectfully disagree, Dean. The best introduction to SC is to meet him in person! FOX NATION is in!

Allen, if you wouldn't mind, I'd be happy to roast a few chestnutzzzzz.
Tis the season as they say in "Merry Meridian." :whistle:


PS---If Travinski and Cronin dare to show, I'll consider risking the onslaught of the paparazzi and shoot a Parker. :corn:

:biglaugh: Good one Steve!

looks like around 20 participants for this fun shoot so far.

I'll be there, I'm sure Frankie will come also. Steve, don't forget my CE, I'd appreciate it if you clean it before you give it to me.

Oh, crapola!! Now I have to go find a Parker. What time does K-Mart close?

How interesting it is, that disciples of one or the other maker often lust for and go after a FOX :whistle:

There are no FOXES in my menagerie Frank.... not that I would refuse it if someone wanted to give me one.... :clap:

See you there! Are we shooting in the same squad Stevie?? I'll show you my Sterlingworth "Pin gun". You know, the one that looks like a Parker? I bought it at J.M. Fields before they went out of business. .....

I have been dying to join the Fox club but Steve keeps telling me no, pretty selfish if you ask me.

Frank,
You can't be serious! Between you, Craig, Paul, and Steve all the best Parkers in the Northeast have been bought up. I shot a round of Sporting at Vintagers this year with a couple of serious Fox guys who will go unnamed and you guessed it, they were both shooting Parkers.:)

Yeah Larry, that was a tongue in cheek comment. There's a story & promise in place on Steve's CE, from Hausmann's this past summer. I agree, some of the Fox boys have been finding nice Parkers of late. Not me ..... but if anyone wants to move a nice original 20 bore Parker with 28" tubes I'd sure appreciate hearing from him. :)

I will see how the duck season is going here in NH. If its slow ,maybe I can catch a ride with Frank C. and go to the shoot too. Scott

Sounds good, Frank. In the spirit of the holidays perhaps we can make room for Travinski....for ballast of course. Hope you can make it too, Scott.

If I know Robin, he's already printing off another Fox/Parker Love Fest tee-shirt!! I do feel sorry for his two buddies. Talking about a baptism by fire. One day with this crew and they'll be pawning their guns and heading to the nearest golf pro shop!! rotf:

LARRY: Serious Fox guys shooting Parkers? Hearsay. 90-Proof fiction, I assure you!! I'd have to see pictures to believe that one.

Steve,
Check your camera. You took some pictures right behind the fox tables.;)

I'm assuming the dress code for this Sunday's sortie will be SPORTING FESTIVE with a slight preference towards UGLY XMAS SWEATER???

Dress for the occasion is casual. Breeks and other assorted regalia not required for this classic hardware store gun event. See you gents Sunday at 9 am.

Oh Nuts!!

Now where am I going to find a "hardware store gun" at this late notice??
I may as well stay home - all I have are nice Parkers. A Fox would be a decent hardware store gun but I don't have one of those knock-offs.

Dean, the gents that I regularly shoot clays with break my stones about my so called "hardware store" guns, and while it is true that many Parkers were sold via these stores for years, they're just a bit jealous that I (we of the Parker community) hold these doubles with near reverence. Anyway, no offense meant by the term. The weather for Sunday's clay shoot looks decent and hopefully we'll have a good turnout. Hope to see you there. Wish I had my GH Damascus back from Brad to use, so will just have to settle with another run o'the mill hardware gun! OMG

Steve, I hope your going to shave your chest if you commit to that sweater. Too much rustling in the breeze might throw off my game.

Allen, thanks for setting up today's shoot. Was nice meeting some new faces and shooting with you. Couldn't have asked for better weather!!! Let me know next time you come to Addieville...

We had a great day shooting and visiting with everyone! Weather was excellent... must have gotten into the mid-forties in the sun but the shady areas weren't so nice to stand around in waiting to shoot. Great fun anyway!

The number of pheasants running around the place, dusting in the dirt roads and sipping from the trout pond was incredible. We should have paid for a pheasant hunt - we had the dogs to do it right.

....and we learned who our "dominant" shooters were :shock:

....and we learned who our "dominant" shooters were :shock:[/QUOTE]
And they were ??? :corn:

Nope Scott.... not goin' there :rotf:

I didn't see Tool Man miss a single target!

Chris,
All his Fox's were probably in the shop for repair and he knew what would happen if he showed up with one of his many Parkers.

O no :shock: not the other guys!!

Now I know how he felt on senior prom night............stood up!:rotf:

Ya Chris....He seems to do that a lot....:rolleyes: As usual it was great seeing and shooting with everyone.

Did anyone see Edgar? I must have missed him......:whistle:

A few quick shots from the squad I was in...
