Whenever it is held, Warrington would not be the preferred SITE. What a terrible experience.

I’d have been more pleased if the guy that runs the boxbird ring at Warrington had been there and pigeons available for practice .

Trying to find the place without a GPS unit in the car reminded me of how the Germans reversed all the road signs inland from the beach before and during the invasion of Normandy.

I shot the LC Smith Turkey Shoot at Warrington in 2021 . A fair amount of folks came there and the shoot all be it smaller was run a lot better . Now with that being said there was a different guy running the club in 2021 .

The first time I went to Hausmann's, too many years ago, I was following my GPS and ended up in the dooryard of a farm. I waved at the woman standing there, and backed out. Five minutes later, I was back in her yard. She walked over to me and said so calmly "If I knew you were coming back so soon I would have put the coffee pot on." I would imagine it wasn't the first time because she told me, without asking, how to get to Flynn Rd.

Funny how when the Vintagers said their shoot was no longer scheduled, we moved ours to that September weekend. A week later they suddenly decided it’s back on because “That is our weekend”. Now it’s in October. October is for the Fall Southern.

Well I for one am glad you didn't get that weekend and instead do the end of July. I thought it was pretty crappy what they did when you announced you wanted to hold a shoot on that date. Yes, the fall is for the Fall Southern and if it wasn't for my annual trip to SD, I'd be there and not at Hopkins.

You can do the Vintage Cup and Backwoods they’re not the same weekend . But then there’s that darn thing with the pheasants

Harry,
You can't keep moving an event from venue to venue, year after year, and expect people to be able to mark their calendars. Set a date and a venue and keep it there for a few years. Just my opinion and I'm sure yours will differ.
