When I first got wind that the Vintage Cup was coming to central Pa. I highly suggested Blue Ridge Sportsman's Association, my home club. They have hosted many state sporting clays championship and SCTP shoots. They are an all volunteer club and located 2 1/2 miles from interstate 81 with motels at almost every exit and tourist attractions around the entire area. Negotiations went round and round with Blue Ridge but in the end Blue Ridge said "No". Why? From what I was told, the Vintagers wanted Blue Ridge (remember Volunteers) to do 90% of the work for little profit. They decided to go to Warrington and I could tell that the preparations for a large shoot just wasn't happening. Too bad, I liked the fact that I could, for once, sleep in my own bed for a shoot!
