It was great to meet you too Harold and I enjoyed shooting with you as well. We had great weather and nice time all around.

I had a superb time, though not because of the well maintained course, fresh batteries or new controllers. NOT....
But the best part of that shoot is the camaraderie. Wonderful to meet SXS Ohio and his sidekick Matt. Great to see the NH shooters. I agree Harold, the NH boys can shoot like he__. (edited for the Mean Moderator).
Great to see the Michigan boys.
Daryl was in great shooting form and let me buy a Fox from him- 30 inch Gen-1 A grade which performed well at the Rock.
It is impressive how far some of our members travel for the NE SXS.
The list of great PGCA people there at HHH goes on and on, but as someone said above- its is a great place to finally put names to faces and vice versa. .....And it wouldn't hurt to have an official PGCA nametag that us regular folks could buy.

I did notice that many did have PGCA nametags, but I never asked where they got them. Very handy for one who often has a hard time remembering names and where he left that Parker laying--anybody seen my DHE 16?

I always save all the name tags I can my hands on to use at gun shows and events. They come in handy. I know last year at Ernie's the PGCA table had tangs out for people to fill out. Others likely kept them.

By the way, I ended up bringing a pet home from Ernie's. A tick that my wife had to remove from the back of my leg on Sunday morning. Check yourselves over guys!

I don't need any PA hitch-hikers... we have enough resident ticks here already.

The NH boys and I had a great time. What more can you ask for? Great weather, great people, lots of shooting, and seeing and talking to good friends. We got to PA early on Wednesday and shot "The Rock" and were very impressed. The presentation of the targets and the club house is beautiful with a Mountain Lion staring at you when you enter through the door. I'm sure the shoot in September is going to be a huge hit.

We stayed at Betty's farm house which is about 4 miles from HHH. Scott has been going to PA to hunt deer since '92 and Betty and Scott have been friends ever since. She treats us all like her own kids. Home cooked meals, nice scenery, very peaceful, and lots of laughter.

Here are a few pics....

You know Frank... until recently, I thought you WERE one of the NH boys. I still get confused.
