[Steven Wilson]

I have Coke, Ginger Ale and beer.

[Jay Oliver]

I am going to bring stuff for the grill: burgers, hot dogs. I get some chips as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thank you Jay for putting this shoot together and for hosting lunch afterwards. Thanks to all who contributed to this as well.
The shoot was much fun. The clays were well suited at each station for us. It was great fun.
And if Edgar doesn't convince me otherwise, I may actually shoot this event next year. Lol. But seriously it's a fun course.

If shaming you into getting your chores done is what it takes to get you there, than it's worth it.

We all had a good time, weather not withstanding. As is often the case for this old man, I run out of steam before I run out of targets. Next time, I'll shoot the course backwards, to see what a few more broken birds looks like at 12,13 and 14.

Seeing Jay's cased pair of the earliest known Parkers was worth the trip. Shooting my new BHE was the icing on the cake.

Very nice Parkers on display after the shoot as well as on the course.
Next year, I'll bring my gun carriage so I can shoot the course with my 16 and my Iver Johnson 410 Skeeter. A number of stations threw close in clays, close enough for that little Skeeter which is fun to shoot.
Oh, and Edgar, it was worth it.

I hated to miss this this year but I had arranged to have the boys help me install cabinets, hand rails and some electrical work in maine cottage. The weather must have been perfect.More photos please.
See you all next year.
Nice looking trap gun?

[Jay Oliver]

The weather was not the best, but not the worst. I thought that was a lot of fun and really everything I had envisioned.

Some good shooting in the morning with a little friendly competition. Re-group after for lunch with Parkers all around to admire and talk about.

I was shooting a very new to me 0 frame 16 TA hammer gun that I got from a PGCA member just last week. It shot wonderfully both close and far. Definitely a keeper!

Looking forward to doing it again next year!

Fantastic day, thank you for putting it together. It was great to put faces and personalities with some names I’ve seen on this forum. Great group of first class folks, beautiful shotguns, great shooting all around and nice camaraderie around the grill afterwards. Thank you Jay and everyone there.
