Thinking about the Fall Southern SxS - Page 2

One of the best things about the PGCA is that it has brought together people from all over the country. I know this event isn't possible for everyone to travel to, but if the idea has captured your imagination, be sure to attend some of the SxS events that are closer to home. We're fortunate in this moment to have a lot them springing up, but we need to keep supporting them to ensure we have venues for gathering and shooting the guns we enjoy. So com'on if can!

Mills (or someone else in the know), is the trap challenge only for SBT guns or can side by sides shoot too? I've got a Parker hammer gun I'd like to try out on some trap targets...

Rick Hemmingway has now joined the ranks of Parker owners! He just purchased a very nice ,all original, grade 1, 12ga laminated barreled hammer gun from one of our members (not me). I think we can now expect to see Rick shooting his Parker at some of the SXS events.

Rick Hemingway would know for sure, but I shot a Parker hammer gun in the last year's trap challenge. I am pretty sure it is not limited to SBT's

What happened to the Vintagers event?

Thanks Mills, and Happy Birthday!

The national organization of Vintagers is reorganizing, with Ray Poudrier stepping down as President. While a new charter is being created and new officers elected, there was no plan made for a Vintage Cup this year. In the meantime, local chapters are carrying on as usual.

As I said at the beginning of this thread, with no Vintage Cup this year, several of the southern Vintagers chapters are working hard to support the Fall Southern. I'm glad there's been good discussion here and I look forward to seeing many PGCA folks in Georgetown in October.

Thanks Matt.

Matt,

It is great news to hear you guys are willing to support Ricks shoot.
I am sorry to hear about the Vintage Cup. But it is great to know you guys are endorsing Ricks shoot and supporting it.

Hope to meet you there.

All my best,

John

I'll be attending again this year for sure, and I'm happy to see some additional support from the Vintagers. This is one of my favorite shooting weekends of the year and I'd like nothing more than to see it grow.

Matt, for your info, the Trap event can be shot with single or double barrels. I've shot a double in the event the last several years.
