Rumor number two is in place, including an official poster. I'm looking forward to it, no matter where it is held. I just hope the promoters get real about vendor fees. The market is not what it was ten or fifteen years ago and vendors have made themselves content with slower sales but don't need an increase in fees.

I've just made reservations to sleep in my own bed for this event For those of you looking for motel's in the area, I'd recommend staying in the Mechanicsburg area, close to I-83. Also plenty of restaurants there. We are looking into having a ZZ bird setup at this shoot. Not making any promises at this point but it could just be shoot X amount of targets at a fixed price just to see what it's like. An actual competition may take too long, but who knows at this point. Also, Central Penn Sporting Clays is just a short walk from Warrington Sporting Clays so if you want to shoot a ton of targets, you can burn a lot of powder!

Also, the Gettysburg battlefield is about 1/2 hour away. If you haven't visited Gettysburg, it's well worth it.

Good venue but lousy date. Dove season is just getting under way. Doves come first, then maybe the overpriced clay birds.

Daryl, so you shoot doves every day from the beginning to the end of the first season??? Give me a break. The date of the Vintage Cup is the least of our worries. See you there, buddy. You and I can both sleep in our own beds every night. This is a "commuter shoot" for you, I, and Chuck, maybe for a few years.

Yep, pretty much Bill. The shooting dies off towards the end of Sept. but it is a daily thing for the first two weeks. The availability and number of birds varies with each farm we have permission to shoot and it all depends on the weather and the farmer's cutting schedule. So for the first two weeks of Sept, that is where I'd rather be.

Look, I had talked to the organizer of this shoot at Ernie's when it was announced that it was going to be at Central Penn SC. I suggested that Central Penn might not be the best venue and when she asked where I thought would be a better venue I said, hands down, Warrington SC. She took the ball and ran with it. Her husband is a member of my club and they organize driven shoots to England, Scotland, Spain to name a few under their business Delaney and Sons. They are a wonderful couple and are facing a real challenge organizing this shoot. The new owner of Warrington is willing to do whatever it takes to make this shoot happen. He is a shooter and knows how to set targets. I've been shooting there every week, usually a Weds., for a number of years with a group of guys and I can assure everyone interested that they will enjoy the course. We will see, stay tuned.
