It’s
one month and counting to the Northeast Side by Side and the A H Fox Collectors’ 6th annual Bo-Whoop Long Range Championship. Dates are May 31 to June 2, 2013 at Hausmanns Hidden Hollow in Friendsville PA (northeast corner of the state near Montrose the Susquehanna County seat). The location is a few miles south of Vestal NY. The A H Fox Collectors Association will have an assortment of fine Fox shotguns and ephemera on display. Many Side by Side enthusiasts here in the northeast feel this is a “must do" event - with its excellent courses, camaraderie and fellowship, and to buy/sell/trade vintage SxS guns and related items. The sporting course is a mix of grouse type targets, driven birds and shots over water.
You are all invited to bring your Foxes not only to shoot but also to show your gun(s), discuss features, problems or most anything else you want to know on Ansley’s Finest.
For 2013 our Bo-Whoop Long Range Championship will be
expanded to include a separate event for vintage single barrel trap (SBT) guns. Full details on both events will be posted at the shooting station. But for your planning: you may shoot 10 gauge and smaller at the Bo-Whoop targets (1-1/4 ounce and 7-1/2-shot maximums). And our new SBT event will be limited to vintage single barrel trap guns such as Fox, Parker, LC Smith, Ithaca, Baker, Lefever, etc. - all using standard trap loads. Purses will be done for both Fox Collector events, and the high A H Fox shotgun will be recognized as our 2013 Bo-Whoop winner with shooter's name engraved on our perpetual trophy.
There are no parking or admission fees. Many vendors will have SxS guns and accoutrements for sale or trade under the tents. An excellent food vendor will be on site. Stock up on RST shells while there. RST brings a big truck, and if you buy a few flats the savings in shipping cost will help with your gas money!
