I would hope it is only the greater driving distance or the fact that a certain hunting season had already begun or was close at hand, that would keep serious shooters away.

Gentlemen,

Dave and I are fully aware of the futility in trying to please all of the people all of the time. Think of us as concert promoters. We select what we believe to be the most advantageous venue for both associations and "set the stage." The rest as they say, is up to YOU, the performers and audience!

Unequivocally, Fox and Parker were the two finest doubles America ever produced, thus the FPC will be conducted in a manner commensurate with that acclaim. We are firmly committed to growing this event into what we envisioned from the very start: The premiere double gun competition in the country. Period.

Despite the pre-game buzz/boycott rumors, we are extremely confident that we'll find 10 willing competitors who want nothing more than to
"GET IT ON!!"

Thanks Frank. But.....
There is geographical disadvantage on both sides. Maryland is equally inconvenient to the NE and SE. Its good for Daryl, though. I think that a new venue might be just the thing we need. And I thank Steve and Dave for continuing to try to make this a good event. They are the Best guns in America.
