Minneapolis Gun Club Vintage Gun Shoot

[Mike Koranda]

I just arrived home from the Vintage Gun Shoot at the Minneapolis Gun Club located in Prior Lake, MN. It was their first attempt at hosting a shooting event for vintage (defined as guns manufactured prior to 1965) guns. They had 4 categories, Pump Guns, Semi-Autos, Guns with Cutts Compensators and Side by Sides. Hunter Davis won high overall shooting his side by side to best all the other "new fangled" repeaters. Of interest to the readers of this post, a Parker gun won the trap event with a 50 out of 50 and also won the 5-stand event with a 42 out of 50. The gun is a 101 year old Parker VH #2 frame that had been color cased and rust blued by Oscar Gaddy and had been restocked by Doug Mann. It was fun shoot

That's a great idea Mike, including vintage pumps, Cutts comps. and autos. Certainly gets more people involved in a fun event. Wish it was'nt so damn far away.
