Old Hudson S X S Shoot - Sparta, GA
 

This is early notice I know, but I received word from my friend who is organizing it that the 2022 event will be held on Feb. 25 and 26. Yes, it is planned to be a three-day event.

Old Hudson Sporting Clays is a beautiful venue outside Sparta, GA. The food and targets there are always first class.

No shoot agenda has yet been released, but as soon as it is I will add it to this thread. Ray just wanted us to have advance notice of the dates so that we can plan ahead.

(Also posted on the AHFCA and DGJ sites)

Here's the agenda/shoot schedule:

Hope to see some of you there. C'mon down!!

Stan, is it a two day or three day event?

My bad ...... it is a three day event, John. I looked at the agenda incorrectly. Thank you for calling that to my attention. (I corrected my original post). It's on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I'll probably drive over early Friday morning and spend that night at Lake Oconee at The Lodge. If I get a wild hair I may go on Thursday and stay two nights. I love shooting at Old Hudson.

Sounds like fun to me .......

No promises, but I hope I can make it over.

Stan, is this an annual event at Old Hudson? That might be something I'd put on our shooting schedule and bring the Mrs. along. It would be a great trip to get away from Old Man Winter!!

Yes, it has been held for several years, Mike. But, previously it had been a one-day shoot. I think the upcoming one is going to be a concerted effort to draw larger numbers of participants. If this first three-day event is well attended I believe it will become an annual three-day event as opposed to a one-day. I'm hoping for more vendors to show up, too. The point man for this event is Ray Ward, a longtime friend and devoted L C Smith collector and shooter. Of course, the Bush family owns and operates Old Hudson, and have successfully run it for a number of years. They are very hospitable folks, and dedicated to promoting shotgunning in general as well as lots of registered NSCA events throughout the year.

Take a look at all the events, past and present, on their excellent website.

Mike has a good point. This might be a great winter getaway. I'm game for next year.

For me, all they need is to have plenty of events to shoot. Vendors are secondary for me, but I know other guys like them. Might have to definitely schedule a getaway for February 2023!!

Yep. Could care less about the vendors. Usually overpriced anyway.

This shoot has always had the emphasis on shooting, not vendors. One collector/"dealer" has come a few times, and he always has some very, very nice stuff. I once saw and handled the only 32" barreled Super Fox HE 20 I've ever seen, and another year a true A.H. Fox "Special", replete with the finest engraving I've ever looked at on a Philadelphia Fox.

I'm first and foremost a shooter, too. But, I do enjoy the eye candy between rounds.

The shooting is great and Old Hudson often has one of a kind presentations. They also usually have great southern food for lunch too.

Told Susan about this event and she is on-board with a road trip in late February too! Looking good for 2023!! :)

February 2022. Come in 2023 and it will be over

Can’t make 2022. Doesn’t work with our schedule.

Pre-registration can be accomplished via scorechaser.com. I have my room at The Lodge at Lake Oconee (706-485-7785). All the events could be shot in two days but there are three days available in case of inclement weather. Nice thing to do!

Hope to see some of y'all there!

I just booked a room at the Lodge at Lake Oconee for Friday night too.

We are unfortunately not going to make it now . . . .

Sorry to hear that, Mills.

I'm leaving this morning and plan to shoot this afternoon and tomorrow, then drive home. Got too much going on here to stay for Saturday, too.
