Wanted info Prospect Hall vintagers shoot

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

I was there and there were many more than 18 shooters!

It was a nice shoot with some mid-sized dealers attending. I scored a couple of Lefevers at a great price and fell in love with a gun which I acquired later that summer. I also saw and handled guns from Reuters collection brought by their caretaker Jonathan E. Those included a B Grade Parker 8 gauge and many Becker-built AH Fox guns!

So, it was a nice shoot not as big or as fun as Hausmann's NE SxS Classic but good nevertheless. Work will preclude my attendance this year but I encourage those within a day's drive to participate.

With each shoot I meet new SxS enthusiasts. At Prospect Hall I had conversed at length for the first time with Bill Murphy, Chuck Bishop, Fred Verry, and other PGCA members. There is nothing like a face to face conversation to get to know people...

Thanks,
Mark

Dave, lighten up a bit. If you held a shoot in Homer, the first year would be a little light too. When you say "West Virginia", most people think the end of the earth at the end of an eight mile dirt road. Prospect Hall is about an hour and a half from DC. Chuck and John ran one ad in the Shooting Sportsman, that's it. And it was right on top of the shoot. I talked to John this morning and told him that the shoot was being talked up on the double gun forums now. I will talk to Chuck later today and get Traci to update the dates on the two websites. OH, the two websites. wvagunshow.com and doublegun.net. Go to various parts of the website for phone contact etc. Don't use Chuck's email address. I hear he is a busy guy lately. Yes, he has a "jay oh bee".

This was a great shoot esp for it's first time. One dealer did pack up but he got hammered the night befor and dropped 5 figures (as in cash) at a local casino. Another big dealer had a family emergency which prevented him from coming, thats just life.

Nice venue, great people and very well run. I look forward to this years shoot.

Kenny if you decide to come bring a 410 and we can have a shoot

There was more people there than I have fingers and toes. That's all the higher I can count cause I live in WV
Really, it was quite nice, and I imagine this year will be even better. I met Big Friend Ten, COB, Double Lab, and others and I'm still going back.
