Thinking about the Fall Southern SxS

[MattHaney]

Hello All,

I don't think I need to tell too many people here about the Fall Southern SxS classic in October at Backwoods Quail. It's home to the Parker/L.C. Smith Trap Challenge.

With there being no Vintage Cup this year, the southeast Vintager chapters (Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Magnolia) are making a commitment to grow the Fall SxS this year and ensure its future success. Events that are not supported by attendance will simply go away. So I want to encourage all PGCA members to save the date (Oct. 24 - 26) and attend this excellent event if you can. The word on the DoubleGunShop forum is that this year promises to be the best so far.

Besides the Parker/L.C. Smith games, there will be lots of other shooting events to participate in this year, including flurry shoots, sub-gauge classes and maybe even an event for drillings.

If you haven't been to Backwoods Quail, let me commend Rick Hemmingway and his staff to you. They always do a first-class job with any event they host. They have an excellent course and throw great targets. Also, October is a great time to be on the South Carolina coast as the weather is usually very fine and the seafood is in season.

To wrap up this missive, if you've thought about making this trip to Georgetown, SC, this is the year! Come on and bring those SxS's and SBT's and have some fun.

Thanks all, and I hope to see many of you in Georgetown this October.

NOTE: While Vintager chapters are supporting it, the Southern SxS is NOT a Vintager event, so no worry about ties, breeks or other funny looking clothes. Come as you are!

The Fall Southern is now poised to become the nation's second premier SxS event after the Spring affair. The stars are aligned.

I've attended in the past, and can say that Backwoods is an outstanding facility with considerably more "room" than other events. Parking should be no problem. And with a good vendor turnout, THIS will be THE shoot to attend in the Fall.

We usually stay on the coast, enjoy great seafood and BBQ, count pelicans, and relax between trips to Backwoods. As a bonus, the summer crowds are gone.

It's simple: Don't miss the Fall Southern!

The Fall Southern is an awesome shoot. I am thankful for this post getting started.

Hope to see everyone there.

Go Team Parker!!!!!!!

Great event and plan to attend

How does the Trap Challenge work, from Backwoods web site looks like top 3 and it was a tie 2014. Although results say LC Smith won. My guess is long run. It appears to be re-entry too top 50 each competitor scored.

How about a brief rules re-cap.

Problem for us Northerner's is that is prime time fall hunting season I love going to shoots and seeing everyone and shooting, but when it get's down to real hunting or clays, clays is going to lose.

In case it makes any difference, it is also hunting season in SC at that time. Quail and dove to name just a few species.

And, ahem, the venue is called the Backwoods Quail Club...


Just saying LOL.

It is a bit of a hike for those living far away, but Backwoods is a great facility. Rick and his staff put on a first class show. Georgetown is an underrated historic town and Pawley's Island and the beaches are nearby.

It is well worth the trip. Fun for the whole family
