If you're coming, plan to stay all day, as I think we may have Lunch AND Dinner options now from Dan, so we can play all day and into the evening!

[QUOTE=Harold Lee Pickens;163593] One guy(gal) may be shooting a 28 ga and the next shooter a 10.

Now there's a challenge. How about a squad of tens and another squad for the equally capable 28. , 100 rounds straight? Best team score wins. Simple.

I can't decide what guns to bring I have it narrowed down to about 8....ok it's 9 really but I need to reduce that somewhat......I think Hammer gun, hammerless, small bore jeesh decisions,decisions At least I don't have to bring a 10ga

That's the beauty of this shoot, we can do whatever we want. I'm up for shooting one of my Hammer Guns in the morning if we have a sub-group that wants to do that. If anyone wants to shoot a Hammer Gun and doesn't have one, I'll be bringing several. I've hesitated to put too much structure around this shoot other than to just get a bunch of people together. I know most of us shooting at Drake Landing have had a good time without even keeping score. It doesn't have to happen Thursday, but sometime over the weekend I'd like to see another round of all true pairs. Now that was fun!

At least I don't have Craig and Rich's problem. Living here, I'll have ALL of my guns available to shoot. Then again, that doesn't change the fact that I still have to decide which one.

Mike

Mike how are you shooting that 32 inch 16ga?
I KNOW I'll have Gunner's Gun, the 16ga lifter, O grade 32inch 16ga Hammer gun, Boss 20ga hammer gun, Grade 3 12ga Hammer gun, GHE 16 Damascus skeet gun, Holly Wood gun, BHE Live bird gun and a couple more that will be up for adoption....I have had rifle mania lately

Mike, that round of true pairs was a lot of fun. Unlike Rich, I'll probably be driving down by myself, so I'll just throw them all in the truck and decide what to shoot after I get there.

All of the above! We have enough people to have regular course, true pairs, hammer gun , sub gage. groups shooting simultaneously. Drakes three courses, five stand plus two regular, give us a lot of options and I want to shoot them all! I was planning on shooting Deep River Friday -Sunday but am now just going over there to watch the Parker-Smith Challenge and shoot the hammer gun event Sunday AM
