Another Great Northern update

[Double Lab]

Greg;
You need to run, not walk out and buy some lottery tickets. Nice going! It's nice to have ole' Anderson around is'nt it? Damn sorry I missed this one.

You betcha it's good to have ol' Rich bird doggin' for you. I only wish I could have reciprocated in finding his set screw that he lost from the action side of his Parker on the same course.

Rich needs to do a show and tell of the cool little fowling piece he bought at the shoot.

I attended my first ever side by side shoot at the Great Northern, and was more than pleased with how the shoot was ran. My VH 12 ga 32" full & full Parker was just right on some targets, and just too slow on some others (grins). I completely enjoyed it, and it sure won't be my last unless I just get too old to crawl to the car. The folks who put this shoot on should be proud of how they ran it. My thanks go out to them. It was a couple days of feeling "Gee; these are my kind of folks."

Sam, I'm sorry we didn't get to meet, next year let us know so we can meet up and then you can harass COB This was a great shoot and if I only could attend one shoot this would be the one, now if we can get more Vendors it would be the "Best" . Anyone in the Midwest needs to attend this shoot, hell Rich and I drove about the same time (13 hrs) to this shoot as we do to go to the Southern. It's just plain fun !

Eric; Sorry we didn't connect. We probably saw each other, but just didn't realize who it was. I saw the Parker Display, and it was interesting, but like a lot of vendors, the display folks were out shooting. I noted the .410 Trojan as probably the first "Old" Parker .410 I had ever seen. Even though we shot in the rain Saturday, it was still a lot of fun. I had reloaded 100 7/8 ounce Fed Papers, and was afraid they would get wet, but they didn't even notice the wet, while the old shell boxes they were in turned almost to mush. Next year, I will try harder to connect.
A side note; my brother-in-law, an excellent skeet shooter said "What did you shoot?" I said "I dunno." He said "Where do they post the scores?" I again said "I don't know."
He said "Well, I can see right now, this kind of shoot will keep the "Skeet Bullies" away!
Ha ha!
