8ga Gathering and Shoot at the Southern 4/26
Just a early Southern heads up, we will have a 8ga gathering and 5 stand competition Friday April 26th at 9am at the practice five stand. Cash prize for high gun. Looking forward to seeing some new participants. Last year we had 14 shooters looking to add to that number in 2024. :)
|
I plan to be there !
|
We need to keep the obsolete 8ga alive, its part of our shotgun heritage, we need to insure it doesn't go into the dust bin of history.
|
Looking forward to seeing everyone again, 8 gauge is KING!
|
I think an 8 gauge needs to find its way into the Southern IN cartel :whistle::rotf:

If I could get a little table space at the Southern for a day, I am willing to put my eight gauge collection on the market. I only have one that I can handle, my DH 30" under ten pound gun. I shot that one at the first Southern Eight Gauge Five Stand event, and it removed the luster from the rest of my eights.
|
Will plan to bring mine this year. Thanks to Craig L. and all of those who participate in organizing this event!
|
The NEPA Cartel will be there. Cocked, locked and ready to rock, Doc!! :clap:
|
I'm in and looking forward to it!
|
TTT don't miss the big boy 8ga event Friday 9am at the 5 stand.
|
So how many folks does it look like so far ? I think I’ve got the fellow that finished second to Koneski at the Vintage Cup (8 gauge event) coming but he’s shooting a euro gun not that there’s anything wrong with that :cool: Any response from the lowly Hardware store Smith lads ? Well DeFerlemont told me he was but dunno about any of the others .
|
Craig: I don't have a count on the number of shooters, but I expect about the same as last year. I'm just packing one 8ga and some extra shells in case someone shows up with a 8 and no shells. See ya soon and looking forward to the Southern.

just curious.....how many 8 gauge guns did Parker make? a friend has a 10 but I've never even seen an 8 in real life.

Seen today ..... a couple of 8-gauge boys at a certain NE PA location cooking up new loads with alternate powders in prep for the Southern. It was raining like crazy all morning and they were shooting from under a roof. Just sayin.

Thanks Frank, so the Eastern PA Cartel are cooking up a secret load to win the 8ga Nationals! No way boys, look for a Upstate NY Outlaw Gunner to take the coveted award!
|
Craig, challenge accepted!!! :rotf:
FYI, you're going to like the data we have coming. It'll be posted on this site when it's in our hands. |
Mike that is great news, now if we could source SP-8 wads. Someone in the PGCA must know a higher up management type at Vista Corp. Frustrating
|
Some time in the future there should be a 8ga/28ga challenge to see which one of the "8"'s really rule.:)

I'm having a hard time deciding which is Mikey,
he's really been working on his figure by the looks of things:) Would that be that rumored 8 frame Parker?? |

A few quick pictures taken while getting the big guns out yesterday morning. I’m sure Craig will be along with better pictures and the results.
Thanks for your efforts Craig L., was great to see the enthusiasm for the 8 bore!! |
