Default The Southern SxS event of the year

Well I decided what guns will make the travel team, all Parkers this year. I have everything staged ready to go in the Tahoe. Traveling with three friends, stopping half way in PA to shoot Warrington with Daryl C. Staying at the Hampton in Sanford and have made reservations at the Flame Thursday. Friday looking forward to the Annual Meeting. Looking forward to what looks like perfect weather. It's so nice to see trees fully leafed out after the gloom of upstate NY winter. Nothing on my buy list but I have a checkbook and yea never know what will make me write the check. I have plenty of ammo to burn between Deep River and Drakes. Best of all looking forward to seeing many friends made in our small community. If you want a real treat come visit the 8ga shooters Friday at 9am at the 5 stand to see many big guns in action, plenty of fun and great shooting. Safe travels to everyone attending!

Craig, I'm not a clays shooter, but have been interested in seeing the big 8s in action. So spectators are okay? And is the location easy to find...and can one just wander over to observe? I'm bring ear and eye protection just in case.

Sorry for the naive questions.

Garry: We hold the 8ga shoot at the practice 5 stand field. The practice 5 stand field is in the same area as the Parker/Smith big tent. If your driving, at the entrance just tell the attendant your with the PGCA and drive past all the vendor tents to the back field. Plenty of parking in the field next to the tent and the two 5 stand set-ups.

I regret that I will not be attending the Southern this year, as it once again conflicts with the Georgia State Trap Shoot. If my Parkers and I want to make the State team again (and we do), then we have to at least shoot the three championship events on Saturday and Sunday. I will however be rooting for team Parker from a far and wish all safe travels to Sanford and back home again. The Southern truly is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

John, best of luck, but your work and preparation is your “luck.” Keep us posted.
