Yep, pretty much Bill. The shooting dies off towards the end of Sept. but it is a daily thing for the first two weeks. The availability and number of birds varies with each farm we have permission to shoot and it all depends on the weather and the farmer's cutting schedule. So for the first two weeks of Sept, that is where I'd rather be.
Look, I had talked to the organizer of this shoot at Ernie's when it was announced that it was going to be at Central Penn SC. I suggested that Central Penn might not be the best venue and when she asked where I thought would be a better venue I said, hands down, Warrington SC. She took the ball and ran with it. Her husband is a member of my club and they organize driven shoots to England, Scotland, Spain to name a few under their business Delaney and Sons. They are a wonderful couple and are facing a real challenge organizing this shoot. The new owner of Warrington is willing to do whatever it takes to make this shoot happen. He is a shooter and knows how to set targets. I've been shooting there every week, usually a Weds., for a number of years with a group of guys and I can assure everyone interested that they will enjoy the course. We will see, stay tuned.
