Bringing too many guns to list but will be shooting my PAC B grade for the first time in competition since I've owned her for the Fox big bore event. A Parker or two, a long legged Fox smallbore, a Lefever and an Ithaca. We show no favorites.

Myself and my "other side " will be coming in around 6pm Wednesday. See you at the Rock.

No Parker 8 hammer gun ????

I’ll bring two 8’s , two 10’s , two 12’s , hopefully two 16’s a hammerless 20 a hammerless 28 possibly a hammerless 410 and an SC trap . All same brand except the 410 which is an IJ . Hopefully all I bring will be used in an event .

When my dad migrated from northeast PA to Washington in 1936, they said he sounded like a Chinaman. They got used to it when about half the population of PA migrated by the end of the war.

I used to grt bloody knuckles when shooting steel targets with .38 solid lead wad cutters from the splatter. I can’t even imagine shooting lcketed bullets at steel targets, let alone solid copper….

I will be coming in from the Columbus, OH area and have the option of heading N on 71 and cutting across OH and PA on 80 E or taking 70 E out of Columbus across OH and PA. Both routes are about equal in time and distance. Anyone familiar with the area care to make a suggestion considering construction, tolls, etc?

[Stan Hoover]

Randy,
I can't make any recommendations on what road construction you will encounter. I think the upper route (I 80) in Pa would be a bigger highway and maybe less congested because you're further from Pittsburg.

I thought the lower route would have some tolls, but after plugging it into Google Maps from Columbus to Meshoppen, the route it suggests doesn't show any tolls.

I like traveling 80 when I'm up that way, (big rolling mountains and scenery) but I rarely do since I'm in the lower half of the state.

JMO,
Stan Hoover

PS. I personally prefer the scenery from the top down

[Double Lab]

Randy;

I agree with Stan. When heading west from MD I always take I-80 instead of I-70. Problem is you never know what roadwork they have planned. Either route, drive safely and see you there.

[Randy Roberts]

Thanks fellas. If the Northern I 80 route is the more scenic then so be it. It really is a flip of the coin for me time and mileage considered. Thanks for the help. See ya'll real soon.

I hear you , we have flip over reset manually pistol targets at our club . Thirty years ago when I had notions of trying my hand at Bullseye I had Maryland Gun Works build me a S&W Model 10 PPC race/bullseye gun . Anyway shooting that thing at ten yards at the flippers with 148 grain WC’s pushed with two grains of Bullseye every now and then a slug would hit the poppers and come back . Got hit in the chest more than once , thankfully the energy had dispersed enough where it didn’t even bruise .
