2020 Southern SXS April 23-26

I think most members of classic side-by-side collector groups know that our future success and the continuation of the passion we all have for these guns lies in our bringing young folks into the fold and let them shoot and enjoy them no matter which factory they came from.

And I was pretty surprised that Bill’s new ad for the Spring Southern at Deep River has a picture of the kids who participated in last year’s American Classic Youth Shoot but not a word about it appears anywhere in the ad.

Don’t you all find that a bit strange too?

[C.O.B.]

Yes thats strange and some folks think we owe so much to him
Frank I'm not a good enough shot to break 50 out of 50 on any course. Bill hasn't changed a target presentation in years. Two 100 bird courses and a nice 5 stand and a cost savings of several hundred dollars which can be spent on anything from guns to art work at the tents is a no brainier for me.

[Dean Romig]

Well, it wasn't my intent to bash Deep River - I simply wanted to raise some awareness.

Let's keep this thread informational.

If you don't support the shooting at the Southern, then there will be no Southern.

[Mills]

And the tents. Bottom line there is plenty for everyone

[John Davis]

At Deep River, if you are a shooter, then there's more side x side shooting than you will find anywhere else. If you are collector, then there are more side x sides for sale than you will find anywhere else. And if you are both a shooter and a collector, well then you just died and went to heaven.

[John Davis]

"". I believe we do owe him a lot.

I have been to Drake Landing 4 out of the last 5 years. Every time I go into the office and tell what I shot I have been charged a different price every time. There is a group that purchases their targets in ahead of time and receive a good deal. A good froind of mine and a PGCA Life member, who is also a friend of Dan Andrews owner of Drake Landing, asked Dan about a package price for him and five other shooters. Dan came back with $60.00 a hundred which is his regular charge. I have heard the he raised the price again for this year, but I don't know that for sure.
Just for an example. The year before last I went to Darke and on a Thursday and when I went in to pay I told them, I shot 100, that's $60.00 and had a cart, that's $15.00 and ahd lunch, that's $20.00. My total was $112.50. I don't know to this day how they came up with that amount. I can shoot 9 qualifying rounds at Deep River for that.

I am not a competitive shooter (like most) just an old duck hunter that scratches down four dozen ducks per year and loves to pull the trigger on my vintage duck guns. I'm sure if I had the capabilities of Mike Koneski I would be shooting all the Deep River events for bling, but I'm not. I enjoy shooting for fun, but I have no hope of competing with Famk, Mike or whoever. I enjoy Drakes Landing and could give a dam about the cost, I enjoy Deep River and love the tents and chating with other addicted friends. So who cares just do what makes you happy, life is very short boys.
