New Years Day Shoot - Major Waldron's

[John D.]

My thanks Bob!!! As well - the paper Fed hulls are Frank's as well - so, let's see if those multiply?? AND - if they do? Can you tell us how you did that??!!!



Seriously - I had a blast yesterday as well... We sure had everyone going on the elimination round shoot-off... Thankfully - both of us sandbagged a bit so we could shoot longer...

John

[bob weeman]

I will make sure he gets his money and empties John...Greatly enjoyed shooting along side you and that one of a kind Parker!

A couple of late entries of Pete shooting what looks to be a 10 ga. at the bitter end of the elimination shoot, John D. shooting his Grand Dad's fabulous and unique 34" AAHE vent rib Double Trap, and Bob Weeman Shooting a terrific Ithaca NID Grade 5 or 6 (I think) vent rib double trap... and then Pete was eliminated.... and finally Bob was eliminated... leaving none other than............ drum roll please............ John Dunkle???

It was, as usual, a great time and honestly, we would still have shot if it was 5 degrees and blowin a blizzard... no wait - we've already done that!

i am thinking you have a front trigger and a right barrel

[Bill Murphy]

I would like to see more pictures of the .410.

Frank, thanks for the shout out.

Thanks for the invite Gents! Had a blast!. I was thrilled to shoot my new (new to me) GH. It was a relief to know that what I bought blind is still able to function flawlessly.

I will make a post of restoration updates of my GH. Looking to do much as I can myself buy most likely will have to sub out some items.

Now off to become a member...

[Dean Romig]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... If only I had remembered to bring my trap gun I coulda been a contendah too

Derek - It was good to meet you and include you in all the fun of the day. That's a really good GH you have.

Derek,

It was a pleasure to meet you - and WELCOME to being our most recent PGCA Member..! You certainly entered this organization with a "bang" (<-- sorry - bad pun, but I couldn't resist!! )

Anyway - there were actually two winners in the elimination round....

Bob Weeman and I fought hard on the first elimination round - and Bob took it after several birds. The crowd went wild with excitement - as they voted that Pete had taken a chip out of his last bird - so we had a re-shoot with Pete, Bob and myself....

Then, Pete's trigger became possessed - and he had to bow out - leaving - again - Bob and myself...

The second round for the championship had a different outcome - and after 10 or fifteen dropped birds, Bob let me win, I guess..?

And oh - one more thing....

Larry Frey was kind enough to give me a box of shells, and without inspecting them - I began shooting... After the Match I finally read one of the empty hulls. It read: Remington STS Rifled Slugs...

Thanks Larry.. What a buddy...

Moral of the story? Well, there is no moral - except don't borrow a box of shells from Larry when shooting trap...??
