The Southern has become a victim of its own success. The facility has limited space and this year it was like a 10 pound lunch crammed in a 5 pound sack. That said, Bill K. has been a BIG supporter of the SxS venue outside of the Vintager format making possible the Challenge Cup which to me is the highlight of my shooting year and I never make the team. It's difficult to strike a balance between shooting and gun show and if Deep River had more space we would not be having this discussion. I'll continue to support the Southern because of the great people who attend, and the Parker/LC Smith shoot-off. If the PGCA and LCSCA decide to go elsewhere, so be it, but I don't think they will. And yes, we will attend the Fall Classic this year.
