I was lucky enough to have been a member of Beaver Dam Club for 9 years. I was friends with Bill Andrews, Dr. Chubby Andrews son. Dr. Andrews knew I loved fine doubles and as we were getting ready for a morning hunt he handed me Bo Whoop II and said "why don't you use this one today". I killed a limit of mallards with it. It is still a highlight of my shooting and gunning life. What they say about the Becker guns is true. They kill ducks at amazing ranges.

Well now if you made it to Hampton you were within I’d say 20-30 miles of The Backwoods Quail Club ! You should give some thought into returning in mid October for a few days and shoot the Fall Southern Side by Side . While I like Sanford just fine , Rock Mountain and the Fall Southern were my two highlights of the 2021 clay targets shoots . Well you can add Prospect Hall in WVA but they’re mostly one day deals .

Garry, we don't go to win. I won a gun championship the first time I entered a vintage gun tournament at the Southern. I haven't won anything since, but I've written a bunch of checks to gun sellers.

Everyone’s been in that exact boat their first try be it skeet , trap , sporting or live birds . And everyone assumes others will laugh at them . I’ve found that to be about 180 degrees from the truth . Heck I’ve been shooting clay birds for a bit over fifty years and last year was the first time I’d ever shot live pigeons in competition . Folks at a pigeon ring seem to be even more complimentary than folks at the clay target games .
