Eastern SxS Classic - West Virginia Panhandle

[chuck brunner]

I want to thank everyone that has attended to this point. Jent Mitchell held a fabulous dinner for the Virginia Vintagers and all were in attendance. Rich Anderson, Mark Ouellette and Mike Smith as well as Chuck Bishop manned the Parker Display for the masses while Kevin and Murph held court. There was the B Grade 8 bore that Jonathan Engle graced us with as well as his outstanding Fox collection that was displayed. Roger Bain won the single barrel trap shoot in a shoot off over George Calamaris. Three squads shot from 27 yards rise and the winner took home a jar of Palmetto Moonshine and folding money for the first place prize to win the West Va. Cup. A great time by all the shooters was had. We have 1 more day and great weather and I hope all my friends will attend. I want to thank everyone that has graced us with their presence and will see everyone next year............. What a fabulous time to this point...........Someone will win the Argentina trip tomorrow........Come shoot.

Chuck, it was a nice shooting day. You, Tracy, and John put together an enjoyable event, in a very nice venue. I liked the sporting clays format and the ZI-ZI birds supplied a lot of laughs for paticipants and spectators alike. A good time was had. Should be more fun tomorrow.

Great to see you and thanks for the kind words.....John and I would not have pulled this off but for the kindness of you and the rest of our friends that drove forever to be here. We have had some great shooting and guns and hope this event will grow legs and become the shoot to attend. I want to thank all the vendors as well as the collectors associations (Parker, Fox and L.C. Smith) for their attendance ( Pastor Charlie Brooks for pushing the single barrel event) as well as all of our friends that took off WORK this week to attend. Bob Ermilio, Gary and Lisa Downey, Phil Futrell, Roger Bain, Bill Blackstone, Kevin and Tom McCormack, Britton Condon, Jerry Smith, Tom Hugger, George Calamaris, To'mas Frontier and Gordie White, Traci Brunner, JD Shank and the Parker Collectors Association. A special thanks to Jent Mitchell and the Va. Vintagers for gracing us with their first class presence. We had a ball and look forward to tomorrow..............

Thanks, Chuck, Tracy, and John, for a great shoot. Thanks to the Virginia Vintagers for a great buffet Friday night. Chuck, I took off work too. OOPS, sorry, I didn't really take off. T, I hope we spelled your name correctly.

Thank you for your support over the three days. My friends were there for the haul...........Your the best...........What a great shoot and show. Traci, John and I really appreciate all that attended. COB (aka Uncle Rich) was the long haul with a 12 hour drive. Thanks Rich! Mike Smith hung around to do some photo ops and will post.... Next Year! Great Time.........

Chuck, it is the best side by side shoot I have ever attended and I have attended a bunch. You and John are the heroes of all attendees. The awards ceremony is the best I have ever witnessed, and you probably know why. The Lovely Linda joins me in congratulationg our long time friend Britton Condon for his big wins. As I have forever preached, International Skeet is the best building block for an all around competition shooter. Of course, big muscles and youth are not impediments. Chuck and John have made a bunch of new friends and gotten a new perspective from some old ones. You don't want to miss this shoot next year.

I couldn't be there for the awards. Are results posted anywhere?

[Bill Murphy]

That's going to be a tough one. Prospect Hall's website posts scores of their public shoots on their website, but I don't know how quickly that will be done. Hopefully, Chuck will find time to post the scores on the wvgunshow.com website, the site for the shoot.

Guys
I am working on the list of winners and will post everything here. All checks will mail this week. Thanks for the patience

This was a great time and for a first year shoot, & it was done very, very well. The Sporting Clays course was wonderfull with some tricky shots and some simo's (this is Hillbilly lingo for True Pair, I think they have a problem down south with compound words) that were a challenge esp with the 28ga. The Hunters Clays course was a fun thing to shoot and my only regret is I only shot it once

For those of you who passed on this because it was a first time shoot, to close behind the Southern or to close to Hausmanns missed a great time both on the course and off.

I did miss out on seeing that VHE 410...how did that happen???
