Here ye, here ye, Oh Merry men of Meriden. This is your wake-up call (90 days and counting) for the 2nd Annual Fox vs. Parker Challenge Cup Shoot to be held at the Addieville East Farm shooting grounds on Saturday, Sept. 28th, 2013. Due in part that the PGCA annual meeting and banquet will be held that same weekend AND that "Old Reliable" will once again be represented under a separate tent AND that the weather will be 4 days of bright sunshine and cool temps., we are expecting a much greater turnout for this event than in 2012. For those of you who couldn't attend last year, please take a look at the pics below . The first of 19, yearly nameplates just returned from the engraver. As you will see, the coveted FPC Cup will be an extraordinary time capsule of our group's competitive activities. (Just think, in the year 2179 when one of our history preservation-minded great, great, great grand kids unearths this treasure from beneath the ruins, he can flip it at the corner pawn shop for three bills and buy his new iphone77!! )
Also, in an effort to promote fairness and to preserve the integrity of this venerable contest, a new rule will be imposed for 2013. In order to participate in the FPC Cup, all shooters must be current members (in good standing) of one or both organizations as of Aug 1st, 2013. In other words, the only "ringers" present that Saturday will be in your cell phone or on the victor's Cuban cigars!!
The BOD's of the AHFCA & PGCA are also planning a larger, après-shoot get-together on early Sat. evening for competitors/members of both groups. More news to follow on that front.
Last but certainly not least, in addition to ownership of the FPC Cup, all winning-team members will also receive an autographed pic of the
"Philly Fab-5" shown below, which is now second in sales only to the 2013 Fausti calendar.No doubt, this will be a treasured keepsake for years to come!!
Official rules for the shoot will be posted in the coming weeks on both sites. Make your plans now.....no excuses!
Any plans to change that engraving in 2013????
