2016 Northern SxS Challenge and Expo at RMSC

[Greg Miller CTGunLaw]

Gentlemen & Ladies, do we have thoughts on a hotel for this year. Do not recall which one we were at last year, but was pretty good and a decent restaurant next door. Vin Battaglia will once again join me with a few of his Parkers. I have let Rock Mountain know we are coming. So, appreciate any thoughts on a hotel, and we look forward to seeing you at the Northern. Perhaps Jeff can beat me again with my own gun. ;-)

If you stayed at the hotel next to a restaurant, that would be the Hampton Inn (PGCA is staying there) and the restaurant next door is Remington's. Excellent food and the owner/chef is a member here. Both hotels in Tunkhannock are 20 minutes (tops) from us.

Greg,
I was hoping you had forgotten that, so I could borrow it again!

There will be a "South Dakota Flush" event set up on the 5-Stand/Games area just for fun. You can run 1 to 6 shooters at a time. No scoring, no trophies, just fun!! If you want to try a gun before you buy it, you can try it there, without shooting a Flush. If you don't get enough shotgun fun it's your own fault!!

[B. Dudley]

All that are attending, enjoy the day today. I will be coming into town this evening and will be set up at the shoot tomorrow and Saturday. The weather looks like it will be good! See you all there.

All the results can be found on our Rock Mountain site and FB page. Pics are also on the FB page. Thanks to everyone who came out and shot the events!! We drew over 100 individual shooters, had a bunch of re-entries and some non-shooters getting an eyeful of shotgun fun!! Congrats to all the winners of the awards and drawing/raffles. We'll be tweaking a few things for next year and will announce the dates after our post-shoot meeting this week. Stay tuned!!

[Opening Day]

Mike post some pics here, not all of us are on facebook From what I have heard shooters had a great time hopefully next year I'll be able to attend.
