Default Vintage Cup preparations !

About all I’ve shot this year at Sanford , Hausemann’s and Rock Mountain have been 8’s and 10’s . And to make matters worse I’d not reloaded any of the hulls until last week . I’ve still got a couple hundred of the Seyfried 1 1/4 ounce 7625 loaded so I’ll not make any of them . But I do wanna replenish the Green Dot 1 1/8 ounce loads as well as a few boxes of Green Dot ounce loads . Mr. Koneski gave me a Unique load for 1 1/4 I wanna load a box or two and try as well as modify a bit for 1 1/8 ounce as well as ounce loads . Of course all this is in preparation for the Vintage Cup in October my plan is to shoot atleast two of the 10 gauge events and both the 8 gauge events .

You were there at Warrington last year , it was quite hot . I seriously doubt two weeks later will make a difference . I think the slight move was to appease the dove shooters .

The sight move was due to Warrington's mismanagement of the shoot. Sad because it was a good venue.

The Oct. date is horrible if you hunt birds or deer. If you want the shoot to succeed keep the same date from year to year.

I had no idea we were in the company of such a poet.

I guess I'm a poet and don't know it.

Whenever it is held, Warrington would not be the preferred SITE. What a terrible experience.
