[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

I was there and there were many more than 18 shooters!

It was a nice shoot with some mid-sized dealers attending. I scored a couple of Lefevers at a great price and fell in love with a gun which I acquired later that summer. I also saw and handled guns from Reuters collection brought by their caretaker Jonathan E. Those included a B Grade Parker 8 gauge and many Becker-built AH Fox guns!

So, it was a nice shoot not as big or as fun as Hausmann's NE SxS Classic but good nevertheless. Work will preclude my attendance this year but I encourage those within a day's drive to participate.

With each shoot I meet new SxS enthusiasts. At Prospect Hall I had conversed at length for the first time with Bill Murphy, Chuck Bishop, Fred Verry, and other PGCA members. There is nothing like a face to face conversation to get to know people...

Thanks,
Mark
