My first time at the NE SxS
This was my first time at Hausmann's -- met a bunch of friendly, like minded people and had a great time. The weather was perfect for camping -- cool nights and sunny dry days (except for Wednesday the day before the shoot). I thought the courses were fair and perfect for this kind of shoot. And even though I have the distinction of "winning" last place at Bo Whoop even that was fun.
I brought my great grand father's A grade H&R 1880's era Damascus 12 gauge hammerless SxS and after having it inspected by Steve Cobb and others decided to shoot it at Mad Jack. It was fun to shoot the gun (it hasn't been fired in 2 generations) even though I only broke a few birds.
Thanks to all who invited me under their canopy for scotch and laughs. Thanks for all the introductions and thanks for showing me around. I'll be back.
