The 2026 Great Northern proved to be a great shoot as always. The vender tent was well represented and the club did a fantastic job managing a smooth shoot. A great club all supported by volunteers.
This shoot includes 4 events for a combined score:
90 bird sporting
90 bird hunters challenge
24 bird pigeon ring
24 bird grouse flush.

Brother Scott with his grade 3 hammer, son Brendan with his GHE, great friend Bruce with his VH and I gave em what for with my GHE and my grade 2 hammer. In the makers challenge Parker was 1st with our 3 high scores in the sporting event, Bruce was 3rd over all, and I managed HOA. We also had 2 fine young shooters Wyatt with his DHE and Cole with another makers gun.

If you have not attended put it on the list for July 2027. It’s a 2 day shoot that has a warm up day on Friday.

All the best friends.

We bought some guns dang it! I/we tried to say no but I am weak minded and easily lead astray.

The 12ga DH 3 Frame 32” I have posted in the general forum buddy Bruce bought. It’s refinished but it’s deadly on the range, shoots like a dream! I should have wrestled him for it, great find!
I bought a 12 ga CHE, 32”, vent, BTFE, SST, 1 1/2 frame, stamped 3” chamber on the side of the barrel lug…one of the 20 CHE Traps in Parker Pages…..likely #21 as there are no records for it. It boils em’ too, late 241, serial number gun.
Scott bought a wicked nice Belgium Forgeron with all the options, hinged trigger, ejectors, detachable side plates, gold washed internals…heck the muzzle is engraved.
