I didn’t get to the Vintage Cup this year. It was a conscious decision on my part. I’ve been to just about all of them beginning in Addieville, RI, Sandanona, Pintail Point, Hopkins and then Hausmans. Covid didn’t help last year, but the VC has run out of steam. I can’t see it gaining vendors or attendees unless it’s relocated where people can get to it easily and it has to have lodging available reasonably and close. It was a good run, but I’m thinking vendor support is waning and the majority of people are attracted by the vendors and the opportunities to see and purchase items they would never see in their local areas. Shooting is fun and an integral part of the event, but it won’t carry the day! I expect the Southern, in April, will be the major SxS event of the year. It’s been pretty consistent for sometime. These are just random thoughts from an old guy who has enjoyed many years of fun and friendship at all these events. Try not to beat me up too badly! ��
