[Bill Faulk]

WOW..Vendors aplenty..guess I have to bring more than $200 with me ..Really looking forward to this shoot and meeting many of you.I am like a kid in a candy store with this many well known vendors.I attended the two Vintagers shoots held in Texas..cost me a tidy sum..never met a old double gun I did not like.
Are "spreader type loads allowed?.My guns are choked tight and more tight.

Well Tom beat me to the pouch. I was at the Chantilly Show yesterday and got home late.

The Challenge Rules are the same this year and we will have the Hammer Gun Challenge Sunday morning. The big news this year is the tent Tom mentioned in his post. The tent will be down at the dove field and we will share it with the LCSCA. We have not decided on a size yet but it will be much larger than the space we have had in the past. I will post more details as we work this out.

The overall score is Parker 4 and LC Smith 3. The pressure is on the Old Reliable collectors to shoot well. We were close last year in both events. As Tom says, we need to practice. So break out your favorite 12 bore Parker and lets have fun. Don't forget to bring a hammer gun. I will have more coming.

Mr. Faulk, spreader loads are certainly allowed, However, no one that I am aware of has ever thought that spreaders are needed on the Challenge Field. If anything, more choke and more shot are the order of the day. I have always used full and full and enjoyed it.
