Default Vintage Cup Cancelled

George Hopkins has cancelled the Vintage Cup shoot September 11 to 13. The NSCA shoot for September 14 is apparently to be held as scheduled. George had been awarded the Vintage Cup name, but maybe there isn't enough interest to keep the name alive. Too bad, we have enjoyed many years of Vintager events over the years. Maybe the Orvis event at Sandanona will fill the void.

It was doomed after the debacle at Warrington.

I think 50 targets for $69 did little to help the cause .

When asked on Saturday about the Vintage Cup, they said, we have no sponsors and only 18 shooters registered to shoot,

So it was highly unlikely that it was going to happen.

I have heard of a Vintager shoot at Addieville on September 19.
More details as they become available.

I spoke with Melanie yesterday and she said it was definitely on.
And would be getting the email out shortly.
If you don’t have Ray and Melanie’s email I can get it to you.

Nothing against that place , but if I’m going to drive over six hours I’m headed to Hemingway . And I suspect being in VA the distance to Hemingway is most likely closer than Addieville . Just saying ! But for you guys on Long Island it’s a no brainer .
