Just back and doing a few things - BUT....

This was the highlight of my shooting year - to be able to get together with some old fiends - and some new friends alike. For that? Thank you Pete, Scott, Bob - and all the rest for making this happen each and every year... It is an amazing event.

The food was awesome - the shooting was great - and the Parker's "on site" would have left you "breathless"... In fact - today - I shot my first ever "shot" from a Parker 10 GA. My thanks Frank, for that...

Today was - and is - special... Thanks to each and all - and I promise to post pics in a bit, when I get caught up. I'm still cleaning my great-grand-fathers AAHE, which George shot simply wonderfully.

A Happy 2016 to each and all - and a special Thank You to all that arrived today to just shoot, trade stories, and share. It's what the PGCA is all about - or so I believe....

Carry on..

John

What an awesome day! So great to see everyone which I do not get to do often enough. I have learned so much on shooting, guns and good times from all who have attended over the years. I enjoy the shooting and the food but the conversations are definitely the highlight! Getting to shoot some other guns is also a definite highlight.Thanks to all that let me take a few shots. If you have thought about coming in the past but have not had a chance to make it I highly recommend coming next year. It is the highlight of my shooting year. Side note...someone left a few dollars in one of my empty shell boxes...I will be holding it for you whoever you are! A big thanks to all those who organize this.....a job very well done!

Maybe that is why somebody put the money in his shell box

LOL!!!!

That was from me to Frank Cronin for giving me a box of 12s so I could shoot the trap gun in a round of skeet... Pete told me it was Frank's shooting bag - however, I'm surprised Pete didn't tell me his bag was Frank's bag when there is $$$ involved..??

Bob: Just checking. Was there a note affixed to the cash that read:

A.H.F.C.A.
PO Box 652
Fairport, NY 14450

Darn holidays wreak havoc with our recruiting efforts!!

Huh, I didn't realize that Bob had the same style and color shooting bag that I have. Well maybe next time
