PRESENTING the Fox vs. PARKER CHALLENGE CUP
 

( Please excuse my public relations interns but this was inadvertently posted in the EVENTS forum, two levels beneath the catacombs and three doors down from "that black hole of curaxxxxxxx" :nono:....Ok, ok...I'll be NICE!!!! See below.)


To our esteemed colleagues in Meriden:

Feast your eyes on the prize comrades!!!

" A tradition like no other..." will be unveiled for the first time at this year's Vintage Cup. The inaugural Fox vs. Parker Challenge will take place over Fri/Sat of next weekend. The majestic FPC Cup, pictured below, will be awarded to the victors, who will take posession and proudly display it in a place of honor until the following year's contest. A silver name plate will be added each year, engraved with the winning team and their cumulative score. Additionally, when the match is officially decided, a bottle of French champagne will be struck with a saber and the contents poured into the cup for the triumphant team to savor. Ahhhh, the photo opp's. should be endless!!

We sincerely hope that 50 or even 100 years from now, future generations of Fox & Parker shooters will still be fervently competing for this prize and will look upon the FPC Cup, with the reverence it so justly deserves!!

Good luck to Team Parker!!

P.S.--Latest line out of Vegas has you at a modest, 11 point underdog (subject to change, should Hurricane Campbell take a more Easterly heading.)

It wasn't inadvertently placed there. It was put in the catagory it belonged in Mr.Roll

I would forget the saber!

careful boys...wars have been started over less important matters...

What event will make up the challange? I'm planning on going Saturday and I want to preregister, so what event should I select on the form?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris, Preregistration ended on the 12th I believe. The Challenge event will be shot concurrent with the American Classics Event.

American Classics
 

Remember the American Classics can only be shot on Friday and Saturday.

This would almost make it worth going....almost but the explosion of a Grouse and the aerobatics of the Woodcock expertly pointed by Daisy win. It's bird season boys, the smell of Autum in the Aspens, the colors, the sound of the dog bell and the smell of burnt powder are just to hard to resist to go shoot clay birds :cheers:

Gentlemen,

Important Reminder: To all shooters participating in the Fox/Parker Challenge, be sure to bring your official Vintager's, American Classic scorecard to the Fox booth before entering the course. A Fox official will sign you in on the master FPC spreadsheet. Once you have shot your 50 targets, circle back to the Fox booth, so we can record your final score. Then you can return
the scorecard back to the Vintager's shooting registration table. Failure to visit us twice will get a "DQ" stamped over your name.....and no "Saponski" that doesn't mean you just won a free Blizzard!!:rotf:

The American Classics event can be shot Fri. and Sat. only. Travel safe and
let's hope the weathermen have this one, all wrong.------SC

Excuse Me?????

Not to suggest impropriety, but this seems remeniscent of a tabulation company in Spain owned by George Soros scheduled to count the votes in the upcoming U.S. Presidential Election. :eek:
Will there be any official PGCA scorekeepers at this AHFGCA table?

I suggest that PGCA shooters also report their score to OUR table!!!
We can spot hanging chad as good as those Fox folks.

Maybe we should have the Fox scores recorded at the PGCA tables. Just sayin........Trust me fellas there WILL be a PGCA rep at the weigh in....:rolleyes:

Will a picture ID be required?

Seeing as one isn't required to vote:shock: I doubt you'll need one at the event.

With a total of almost 50 shooters signing up for this event in its first "road test" I think there are good things in store for this event in the future.

Dave, that is when I told Deb how much I liked the leather covered pad that Abe Chaber installed on her nice little CHE.

Thanks for explaining that Dean! We gotta watch you all the time....:rolleyes:

I would like to extend my thanks to the many PGCA members that came by to say hello and spend time at our booth. We had a great time..

Also I would like to thank Larry Frey and Mike Kobos who dedicated their whole weekend to helping out at the PGCA booth.

And a special thanks to Debbie Frey and Kathy Romig for preparing an outstanding hospitality hour for us all. You gal's do a wonderful job each and every time....:bowdown:

If one person told me that we are a great organization this weekend there was a dozen. And this only happens because we have a great membership.

Even "Toolman' was not too upset when a PGCA decal mysteriously appeared on his car.....:whistle:

Yes indeed.. Thanks to Dave, Larry, Mike, Deb and Kathy and all of the others who had a hand in making the face of the PGCA at the Vintager's as pleasant and congenial as it was.
