Mike,
yeah I figured they had tried and extended an invitation. I have spoken to several people in the know and I have known about the revival of the Vintage Cup for several months. I don't think anyone knew they would pick a competing date though. It is a damn shame. Word amongst some of the vintagers is that they want to keep their event formal and small. Word has it that it was said that they did not want it to be as large as in previous years and not a tournament type event but more of a fun event like its origins. I hate to see this happen as like you said the shooting population is small to begin with and this is just un necessary. All my best to both events but I will plan on being at the Rock and supporting Mike. Not being done out of any malice or ill will, as again I wish them both the best, but my commitment is to Mike Koneski and his shoot and the PGCA. John |

Fall Southern Oct. 21-23
The Fall Southern this year is October 21-23, just so they can avoid that weekend as well.

I sent an email to the Vintagers this morning expressing my/our opinions on this conflict in dates and how it will only serve to dilute both events if they continue to pursue the dates they have chosen, and that attendance of both vendors as well as the SXS shooting/collecting community will suffer. I haven't heard back from them yet.

I guess if the new Vintagers wants "small", they may just get it. Like Mike's place, George Hopkins' place can support both events on the same property. Maybe a lesson will be learned this year.

Thanks, Edwin. Would you by chance have directions to Rock Mountain, PA?

I highly doubt (maybe one or two) that anyone from the Parker Club will be attending the Vintagers, they will be at Rock Mt. The Vintagers knew that weekend was booked to be the shoot at Rock Mt and they decided to run their shoot anyway, hoping they could split the shooters and vendors
