I got that Bill, but going to Hopkins to just see the vendors would be supporting that shoot. All the major collector organizations will be at Mike's so that's where my allegiance is. Besides, Mike gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling. George, not so much.

I wish Rich and I could make this shoot this year, but it's not in the cards for either us this year. But if it was, we would only be going to Mike's because he was the first one to setup up this shoot on this date, period. The Vintagers do not "own" this weekend, that they abandoned for the last couple of years. Now they want to split a very small community of SxS shooters because of their egos, and not for the betterment of the shooting SxS community. I thought the original concept of the Vintagers was to bring awareness to the shooting fraternity about SxS guns and shooting. Guess I got that wrong...

OK, so the dates are the same next year too. What a tragedy. I was told today that George Hopkins had a ten dollar five stand that some of my shooting buddies said was a great alternative to the "competition" events. Can we hear more about the bargain events at both venues? Some are apparently becoming weary of the trophy events and want to shoot some targets, volume targets, for less money. How about a multitude of five stands? Everyone likes cheap practice five stands. The PGCA guys are deserting the competition events at the Spring Southern to go to Drake's Landing. The writing is on the wall. No one is impressed with dollar birds for four days straight. I'm sure the vendors were a bit stressed about the thin crowds, too. I know vendors who left on Saturday from the events, a first in our "sport". Vendors, shooters, it's your move. Maybe one or more of the greedy promoters will get the message and begin to cooperate.
