32" VHE VR trap gun...

Ontelaunee still has a GPOA match. Allen is believe throws one as well.
I've known Allen for 40 odd years, as you said you either love him or hate him. When I got back into shooting in the mid 90s Allen was pushing the game to grow. He has always been a very passionate proponent for the game.
When Allen left Ontelaunee John Wolfington took over and then I took over when John had personal issues. Then after my 10 years of match director Rocco Barra took over. Allen was responsible for us getting 15 new Nasta traps. Knock wood those machines are extremely reliable!
While my tenure there i did my best to throw more matches, get more kids involved.

I took the VHE to shoot ZZ BIRDS today. I didn't set the world on fire with a 24x30 but boy did I win the best old gun category! Quite a few folks were asking to look at it.
I think im going to change the pitch , dont worry it has a half inch spacer that I plan to cut.
Im also going to try some 1 oz loads or just stick to my 24gram bunker load. At some point the max load for ZZ has been dropped to 1oz.

It looks like skeet competition ended in 2021 at Keystone, replaced by Compak Sporting and Helice. Just a sign of the times I guess. International Skeet is going the way of NSSA skeet, dying a little at a time, replaced by sporting clays. Too bad, I really enjoyed my years of International Skeet. I'm thinking of transferring my A Class card to the back of a T-shirt.
