Northern SxS Challenge and Expo (formerly Endless Mts SxS Challenge)

[Cold Spring]

Congrats Susan and Mike on an excellent event and a big step forward to your next Northern. Evil Doctor Mike did his usual great job on the targets ..... everything was in range, no eye tests, just simple presentations that he coordinates with the terrain to have you go away shaking your head "how could I have missed so many"? Scorers were cordial and well trained, food vendor excellent in many ways, traps were up to par with only 2 broken birds off the traps over the 300 rounds I fired in 5 events. Congrats again!

[QUOTE=John Truitt;176529]I know it is very early after the shoot but would someone please post some additional pictures when they get a chance. Much appreciated.QUOTE]

I could have sworn there were pictures on this thread yesterday. Now they are gone.

Sounds like a great time. Hope to make it next year.

We need pictures!

Will there be results posted?

Thanks,

Frank

The PGCA was well represented. Dave did his usual great job with our tables. I got to see and fondle some of the PGCA archives- wow- John Browning's AH Parker. Breathtaking.
And it was great to see old friends, even our cross dressing Fox opponents.
As soon as you give us the date Mike, its going in my calendar. Hurry up.

Many have asked about next year's dates. Tentatively we will say September 22,23,24 & 25.

Mike, you are the man. Thank you so much for running this wonderful shoot. I'm so sorry I could only stay one day. I'm sure I missed a bunch of fun.
