Does anyone know who the professional photographer(s) were working for and where those pictures will end up?

They will be using the photos and video on the HHHSC website.

I was there from Thursday afternoon through Saturday and then shot a round at Rock Mountain on Sunday before driving 7.5 hours home. I had a fantastic time shooting and spending time with friends, meeting new friends and continuing to learn about these wonderful guns. Besides the courses and a great 5 stand Daryl and a lot of the "Fox" guys work their butts off to provide some unique, fun and incredibly challenging shooting opportunities. If the Good Lord is willing, I'll be back next year.

I would like to Thank everyone for their response to my pour me question. The answer is in my shell pallets. I still have a few of the 60 flats at $30 a flat. Some Gun Club $56 a flat receipt from June 2017 I kept because its 12 feet long $60 a flat.The last $80 a flat.I don't shoot ! (another story) I was at a shoot in late April (a lot of yall were there) $180 a flat. It's not just shells it's EVERYTHING ! There was a lot more money at my house 5 years ago than there is today.I will take a steak over a mess of Clay Birds any meal.Old saying: You never know a hayday till it has passed. I pray I am WRONG !

The "specialty" ammo will definitely cost you $40-$60 per flat more than the standard target ammo of 1 oz (or less) at max 1200-1220 FPS. It is what it is. Reload, shoot regular target ammo or bite the bullet and pay boutique prices for shells. With so many components being used for Ukraine, this isn't going to change anytime soon.

BTW, AGC ammo is a low pressure shell throughout their lineup of shot shells. Morris confirmed that.

Mike, I recall that when speaking with Tim from AGC at the Southern, that the 12’s and 20’s were low pressure (4,600 psi +- and 8,550 psi +-) but as of that point the balance of their production were “standard” pressures. I can confirm that the 12’s and 20’s shoot nicely with reduced felt recoil and the 16’s I shot at the Southern felt a bit stiffer.

I should have taken a picture but didn't. Just arrived at the Kittery Trading Post, 1 pond bottles of Alliant Unique and E3..... $57.99 plus 5.5% sales tax each.

The lowest prices for ammo, powder and shot I am seeing currently is listed at Dawson's in northeastern Ohio.
That is a 2 hr drive for me but no help in you live farther away.
Last summer they had a case of Rem SP-10 wads. I bought a few bags then watched their web site show they were all sold a few weeks later.
