Thank you for all the thanks for my post on Cliff Green. By the way, in 1947, the Great Eastern had 343 entrants. 2013 will be the first year since the forties that there will be no Great Eastern. Remington has dropped their sponsorship. This year, my club will have the 77th North South Skeet Shoot, the only NSSA shoot in the country that exceeds the Great Eastern for number of shoots held. Keep in mind that these .410 scores were shot with paper shells, low gun, and variable delay target release. In 1947, when Cliff Green shot a 91 with the little BHE .410, the winning score was 95. Charles Lyman Jr. shot a 93 in All-Bore, and Charles Lyman lll broke 90. I wonder if they were shooting Dr. Lyman's Parker Invincible #233,565? That would make two great guns being shot in the same skeet shoot. The shoot records for the 1947 Great Eastern were taken from a seventeen page hand typed synopsis of all events and all 343 competitors provided by the Remington Gun Club at Lordship.
