I'm glad you guys all made it home safely, and I'm sure you'll keep us updated on how you weather the storm. I wish you could have stayed and shot the course yesterday. The target presentations were unique and challenging every day, but the Sunday portion of the main event was my favorite. Lots of true pair stations, Battues, Rabbits, and even Trampolines! Throwing clays into the face of a large trampoline, which then sprung the target out and up in a variety of directions was a new one for me. As others have said, the venue was First Class, the Banquet and Silent Auction were great, and best of all, I came home with a new Parker!

Mike

What are you complaining about? She bought you that nice cigar cutter.
A new Parker tried to follow me home, but we traded it for 15 gallons of gas, two coffees and a bag of beef jerky. Sorry George.

I got home yesterday evening, and got as far as downloading the pictures to my computer, but I haven't even had a chance to go through them yet. I'll try to work through them tonight and get some posted.

As for the Parker, I bought Harry's 1902 10ga DH Hammerless with 32" Damascus tubes. It has great patterning on the barrels, perfect shiny bores, Pistol Grip Stock, Original Skeleton Butt, and good modern shooting dimensions. And, it came with a 32" Leg O Mutton Case to boot. I've always wanted a 10 bore. Once I get through the pics from this weekend, I'll try to take some of this gun and post them as well.

Mike

Damn I'm gonna miss that 10 ga O grade hammer. But I will have cleanly cut cigars. What am I gonna do with that case of 10 gauge RSTs she bought me? maybe that 10 ga EH on that other thread?
