We have now closed the doors on the 5th Annual Hoosier SxS Classic shoot. We had nice weather and a good turnout with some 56 shooters present. The PGCA was well represented with 10 members by my count. Road Warrior awards go to members Kenny Jones from NE Ohio and Jeff Kuss from Valpo IN. Both of these fellas traveled a good ways to attend, most likely over 300 miles for Kenny.
Shooting began almost on time which I attribute to a few shooters that were directionally challenged, no worries as we waited on them. At sign ups shooters
were treated with their very own custom made whiskey glass and a fine cigar if they chose to partake. After a shotgun start and completion of the 100 bird course shooters and the boys (actually young men) who help out with the course were fed a pulled pork lunch that included potato salad and baked beans as provided by Neals Chop Shop.
Jeff and I had a display of Parkers for everyones viewing pleasure. There was a fair number of long legged 20's, couple of big 10's, a half frame, 3 frame 12, some VR guns, and even an H&H that belonged to a shooter. Several guns were there for sale. I know of one Merkel that was sold which went from 1 member to another. I know who you are and will be getting with you for the buyer/seller fees
I recall a Parker Repro 28 gauge 2 barrel set, not sure if that sold or not.
After the shooting and lunch we drew for the door prizes which consisted of several rounds of clays at local clubs, a variety of mugs and even a Terry Redlin print. From there it was on to cleanup and then time to kick back enjoy an adult beverage.
I have tried to post pics that will include the PGCA members who attended. From top to bottom as posted (shooter names L to R) with member names followed by an "M".

Their primary focus appears to be on fly fishing. Check out their website if you want to see a bunch of nice fish. I hear their FB page is more up to date with even better pics.
The remaining pics are of the display, door prizes, and the beverages afterwards.
Thanks to all who attended and all who helped out. Pleasure shooting with you boys, see ya next year !
