Most of us know about this year as being the last up in Milbrook. I've heard that it's going to be in Virginia next year, some place called Pin Tail or something like that?
Any of you folks who were up there last week get any information about this?

The word I heard is it will be at Pintail Point Farm in Queenstown, MD. I've been there a few times at sporting tournaments and it is a quality club. As an aside let me say they have mostly auto traps, allowing a wider variety of presentations as compared with hand sets. I've also shot ZZ birds at Pintail so that may add a new venue to the Vintagers. Silvers

Pintail Point - In Queenstown near Easton Maryland was reportedly announced as the next venue. Oops Silvers beat me to the punch.

I assume that the Pintail Point proprietors will have some very upscale shooting experiences for those who do such things. The shooting guru at Pintail (Yes, on the payroll) is Ben Wise, son of Bill Wise. I am anxiously awaiting the next Vintagers. Murphy

There is a Southern Vintagers planned by Ray Poudier in the Houston area in the Spring. Yankees are invited too.

If your travelling in to town to go to Pintail Point budget enough time to:
1) visit the Museum at NRA. It's well worth setting the time aside. See among other things, all 3 Parker Invincibles
2) sneak over to St Michaels, a little town right on the water where there is a nice museum covering the Chesapeake Bay watermen. Eat some crabs while your there.
3) If your driving down from the northeast stop in Havre de Grace and hit the decoy museum, in addition to decoys there are boats, a few guns and the inside of Madison Mitchells original decoy shed. It overlooks the Sesquehanna flats, epicenter of market gunning for waterfowl.
4) As you drive south toward DC the army ordinance museum at Aberdeen is right off 95
Eightbore, what have I neglected?

Queenstown, MD is even better. Thank the Lord they hold the Vintage Cup after Labor Day, the flood of traffic across the Bay Bridge is a nightmare from people going to and from Ocean City.

I killed a lot of geese around Queenstown in the early 80's but never saw anything that made it "better".
Can't remember the name but there is a place on Kent Island that serves great fried clams. Not those stoopid clam strips like you see in new england, they fry whole small clams, and they had great chowder too. When the weather was good and cold I used to stop there on the way home from gunning down around Winona. It was perfect.
