Default Vintagers Shoot
Last weekend Beverly and I attended our first Vintager Shoot.
What great fun! And they don't keep score! Wonderful to see and talk vintage guns.
We met up with fellow Parker member Bob Lyons shooting a beautiful 16 ga hammer gun.
Hope to meet more PGCA members at the August events.

Not keeping score is one of life’s greatest pleasures.

They don't keep score?! Isn't that unamerican?

These days- “everybody gets a trophy.”
But of course I kept score and there is no one more competitive than Beverly.

Great fun,
Good people.
There were a few rules .
No denim, no camo.
Only sxs. I’m in farm clothes all the time so it’s nice to put on a tie to shoot my classy Parker.
Next month at on the 15th at Addieville
And a driven bird or driven “clay bird” shoot the following week in Vermont.
That is supposed to be really something and they do keep score for that one.

The original Vintagers organization professed "no scoring" in their credo. Good luck with that.

True Bill - It was for shooting Gentlemen and their Ladies.
