Parker/Fox Challenge
 

Apparently our friends from Philidelphia have gotten over the beating they took the last time we met on the field at Addieville East Farm in 2010. This past year they didn't even show up...I guess the pain was too much for them to bear. Well they have Manned-up and are going to have another go to regain their coveted $50.00 bill that Larry has hanging on the wall in his gun room.....:rotf: This event will be shot concurrently with the American Classics event at this years Vintagers at Addieville East Farm in Mapleville ,RI
The challenge is 50 targets and can be shot either Friday or Saturday. The top 5 Parker scores will be pitted against the top 5 Fox scores. I for one can't wait to send them home crying in their soup. "Matrons of Meriden" my a**

Here is a post from the "Fox Site"....The nerve....


We interrupt this regularly scheduled program for the following announcement:

PA affiliate, WKPA, reports widespread rumors outside of N18th and Windram, regarding the possibility of a bonafide Fox vs Parker Challenge shoot at this month's Vintage Cup, held at the hallowed Addieville East Farms shooting grounds in Mapleville, RI.

Fox officials had no comment at this time, although one inside source, a clerical worker for Fox director and tobacco magnate, Louis Eisenlohr, did state she overheard conversation of an emergency, closed- door Fox director's meeting, for later this evening.

No contact was initiated with Parker Bros., as slumping sales ( due to nagging QC issues with triggers and ejectors) has idled the Meriden, CT plant to a 3-day a week production schedule.

Stay tuned to your local NBC station as further news of this momentous sporting contest unfolds....................

WOW, the nerve of them, might have to show up if crow hunting doesn't pick up, scott

Please do Scott....We would love to see ya!

I'm already stoked for this. What are the rules for gauges Dave..... can ya shoot a ten ?

Frank,Official rules will be posted by our challengers tomorrow.....:rolleyes:

Post deleted more news to follow....Sorry

Dave,
I'm glad to see this coming together and would suggest that a method to decide ties be predetermined to avoid controversy later. Also if shooting is to conclude on Saturday a time should be set for the awards so people can make plans to attend if they wish.

I don't think that would be fair Frank, A.H. Fox didn't build any guns in mens sizes :)

Frank+10ga.=dead fox

I've seen him in action!

I'll bring my "new" 10 ga but I'll shoot 12 ga. loads... how's that?

That's fair, they have 12 ga. in 3 1/2" w/ 1 3/4 oz. of shot, same as a 10.

What happened Dave, they found out Dr. Truitt is coming and in true Liberal fashion are trying to bend/change the rules to make him ineligible?:rolleyes:

What?

You're coming to Rhode Island for the Vintage Cup in September... right Dr. John??

I had planned to and was very excited. However, my wife has found other things for me to do that weekend. I also promised Jackson I would be there with him for a school event. So looks like no I will not be able to make it.

I was more curious about Mr Freys comment about making me ineligible.
No worries though.

Indeed, no worries Dr. John but you might want to send that crash-cart (stat)
to Stratford,Durham and Andover,MA !!!!

I'll be placing a call into Coach Plunkett later this evening, alerting the FOX J.V. squad to suit-up. Afterall, we want to at least, make a game out of this one.

Adolph R. Roll

:biglaugh:Okay boys, looks like we'll have to step it up to our "B" Game.

Yeah, but it is not the same. The more square the load the more even the pattern. For the same reason the standard 20 patterns better than the 3" mag.

But you guys knew that. :bigbye:
