Way to go Mike,
Welcome to the 8 gauge club, hopefully we can keep growing the 8 gauge group and have 8 gauge awards at all the shoots. We appreciate the event put together for 8 gauges at Rock Mtn,
Stan

I’ve talked to the new Presidente of the Vintagers about an 8 gauge event at the Vintage Cup this year but more folks need to let them know they’d like it as well

I’d like input from all you 8 bore guys. Is the 15 bird event enough or should we make it 25 or 30? If we bump up the target count I’m thinking maybe shooting the event on the course instead of the 5-Stand. Thoughts?

At Warrington SC the 5 stand works me . They’ve got some Hemingway-Koneski long ball targets on the 5 -stand . I’d think 25 or 30 is sufficient .

I think 25 or 30 is probably enough targets to swing these big guns for. I would be open to trying them on the course, see if guys like it, if it isn't what guys prefer, we go back to the 5-Stand the following year.

I must say having all the 8 bore guys together on the 5-Stand does add to the excitement of shooting these big guns that may be lost by each guy shooting individually out on the course?
