Rock mtn. Memories
 
First off, THANK YOU, Mike for pulling off this shoot in unprecedented times. i was waffling whether to attend, and am glad I went. No, not a big crowd, but a nice crowd with many of the familiar faces seen at past shoots. Our shooting group consisted of buddy Brett Hoops, Frank Cronin, Chuck Bishop and Randy Roberts who "set the bar" high for our group. There were 3 courses of very challenging targets.This spread us all out, and it is a nice facility--Mike has done alot of work there. Chuck was shooting his little GH 28 very well--when he could keep Brett from drooling over it. I shot best with my little grouse gun, a very beat up 20 VHE--I was very happy with how I shot it.
There was social distancing and drinks in the parking lot of the Hampton Thurs night with Craig Larter, Rick, Mark Kircher, Jeff Steigmier, and our group. Some wonderful guns surfaced at the tail gate. Friday night, we kind of took over the campsite of Brian Dudley, Ken Snyder, and Chris Shaw, a very relaxing and enjoyable eve. Ernie Hausmann and Morris Baker showed up for the afternoon, and Ernie definately wants to have his shoot next year .I didnt take many pictures, so I will let others post their's( mine would be upside down anyway) The final actually wraps up today, but I had some comittments and left Sat. afternoon in time to get home before dark--a 6 1/2 hr drive. The Rock was definately worth the drive!

Thanks for the report, I had hoped to attend, but had to cover the On Call for work this weekend. I wanted to bring along a Lefever I picked up at Christmas time last year to get some opinions from those that are more familiar with them. Looks like it’ll be next year.
Take care,
Tim.

Harold if you want to send me your pics via FB messenger, I have had success orienting them properly in the past and I would be happy to post them for you.

Thanks for the report! Sounds like it was a good time, I sure wish I could have been there.

One of the items on my agenda is to attend a couple of the shoots back east once I get my knee's fixed & the virus crap is over with. I would very much like to meet my fellow PGCA members in a laid back fun venue like this.

Much fun! Thanks to Mike and Mrs. Mike for hosting! Class act -well run. and much needed IMO.
Great seeing many PGCA friends again and for the first time. We only stayed 1 night as we had a small mouth bass charter set up for Saturday.
A few pics attached.
