Single Barrel Trap Shoot

Twice Shooter · 06-15-2011, 10:52 AM

There was some discussion a while back about a single barrel trap competition. Rick Hemmingway at Backwoods Quail Club has a trap field. If there is enough interest I will talk to him about including a single barrel trap competition in the October Fall Classic. I don't know if the Fox or Smith organizations would be interested. Cheers, Tom

Tom,

I would definitely be interested. There have to be a lot of high condition SBT's out there, especially since the lowest grade was a C - with the possible exception of two D grades. It would be great to see them as well as the others. If you get this set up, perhaps those having the "too high condition & too high grade to shoot" would bring them to the meet.

We were able to get 1.4 percent of the total production of Fox singles to the Northeastern Side by Side Shoot for display and demonstration. How many Parker singles would that be?

27 - more than enough to have a great competition.

Total = 1912*
A1: 4
AA: 1
A : 32
B : 96
C : 1779
D : 2 (possible)

It would be alot of fun to have a trap shoot off with these older guns. I would be there in a heart beat. I collect sbts, so I would have to make up my mind which one to shoot. I do shoot my Parkers the best. Thanks, Frank
