I would estimate the attendance at the VGC this year was 50 to 60% of what it was in September '19. I will wager the ammo shortage and Covid kept attendance down. The single vendor tent was much longer and more spacious than the June shoot which made it seem less full. I managed to bring a new to me H&R 10 bore home in spite of fewer guns to pick from. I was disappointed the machine in the Pigeon Ring broke and could not be repaired before I had a chance to shoot it. All targets were for score, no discount on a round for targets only. Saturdays course was odd in that there were a couple of stations out of the thirteen with a trapper/scorer, not sure I understand the point of doing that on only a couple of stations. I think Ken Snyder is a new advocate of the 19 gr Red Dot 1 1/8 ounce load in the Short Ten. He shot his Optimus very well. Sara LeFever shot well each day and took the Ladies Runner-Up trophy in the main event. The food truck was pretty good. All in all it was a great time and nice getaway during the pandemic.
