Vintage Cup preparations !

[6pt-Sika]

About all I’ve shot this year at Sanford , Hausemann’s and Rock Mountain have been 8’s and 10’s . And to make matters worse I’d not reloaded any of the hulls until last week . I’ve still got a couple hundred of the Seyfried 1 1/4 ounce 7625 loaded so I’ll not make any of them . But I do wanna replenish the Green Dot 1 1/8 ounce loads as well as a few boxes of Green Dot ounce loads . Mr. Koneski gave me a Unique load for 1 1/4 I wanna load a box or two and try as well as modify a bit for 1 1/8 ounce as well as ounce loads . Of course all this is in preparation for the Vintage Cup in October my plan is to shoot atleast two of the 10 gauge events and both the 8 gauge events .

You were there at Warrington last year , it was quite hot . I seriously doubt two weeks later will make a difference . I think the slight move was to appease the dove shooters .

The sight move was due to Warrington's mismanagement of the shoot. Sad because it was a good venue.

I meant the move in the date of the shoot .

The Oct. date is horrible if you hunt birds or deer. If you want the shoot to succeed keep the same date from year to year.

Right there with you Deanno!! For 25+ years, The Vintage Cup was held toward the end of September. It was a hallowed weekend, much like opening day of trout, deer and grouse season, circled in red on the calendar months in advance. An epic, marketing blunder to move off of those dates! Akin to moving The Southern to July, The Super Bowl to March or playing The Masters in October. That dog just don't hunt and consequently, the AHFCA will be sitting this one out.

Hopkins is a very professional operation for sporting clays. George has been in the business since the beginning of the sport. However, the vendor response was very poor the first year the Vintagers was held there. The Vintagers was a great vendor venue when it was held in Millbrook, and even at Pintail Point. It was a real "Game Fair" British style. It could be the same atmosphere in Maryland at Hopkins. But how does anyone do that? Beats me. I think the vendors are tired, and running out of big spenders. I hope more of the original vendors come back this year.
