We started looking at accommodations and were looking for general advice for places to stay somewhat nearby. Didn't know if there was a host hotel like Southern. Seems to be a kind of plan coming into fruition, especially with the Misses.. Yea!..

Matt, Comfort Inn and Hampton Inn in Tunkhannock are 20-25 minutes away and new. Skyline Motel is in Tunkhannock and much cheaper. You can search for B&Bs or VRBO in the area too.

Like Mike said, I don't see them changing chokes between stations any more. Used to love the guys with the hand-held Dremel tool-like electric choke wrenches whirring them in and out to get the teal or the rabbit at the next station. Then there were always the times when their batteries ran dead - panic at the disco!

I’ve got a friend that lives less than ten miles from me that shoots NSCA stuff and usually places in the senior class concurrents at the bigger shoots . He shoots Kolar guns and tube sets . Anyway he told me he typically shoots M/IM at everything . Granted I’m sure there are some rare instances he might change chokes but I think he said his barrels and insert tubes are normally M/IM out the gate .

My last M21 Win came with fixed Factory Lite Mod and loose Full constrictions. I was amazed at how many birds at the clays course simply vanished when hit. And I made regular hits on birds I would miss before. Not to mention they are killer on those darn Rabbits. Made me a believer in tighter choked guns.
My old mentor Mark Douglas from local Vintagers always used IM in both barrels of his Perazzi Double, explaining there was less chance of a hole in the pattern for clays to slip thru. He generally won our shoots.

Matt, we like our “men’s department“ chokes.

If you are planning on shooting our event and need to rent a cart, the cart info in on the bottom of our registration form. I was asked by Jim from Empire Carts that you contact Sharon at 315-289-2087 to reserve and pay for your cart rental. Sharon does all the reservations. Thank you! See y'all in 5 weeks!!
