I am starting the packing process today. This year, I am coming to shoot.

I have heard that SxS sales are slow. It is not my fault.

Since last year I have added a Parker 12ga VH 28"/32" 2 bbl set, a Churchill Premier 12/30" SLE, Petrik 20 O/U, Midland 12 30" BLNE (project), Midland SLE 12 30" (Very Best Quality), a Fox Sterlingworth 12 30" BLE and a Robust self-opening 16 SxS with working retractable sling hidden in the stock. I sold other guns to off-set the purchases. SxS activity may be slow, but it is not dead.

The Petrik 20 is not a SxS. However, it has POW grip, double triggers, ejectors, no side ribs, a solid rib for sighting. It is the strange early toplever bolting gun design that Remington used to make the 32. It has great engraving. It was just too weird not to own. I guess you could say it is the great-grandfather of the K-80. I had only seen one in 12 ga before finding this gun.

I may pair up the Churchill and Midland SLEs for the flurry. I will have the Boswell pair of Best side-lever BLEs as an option for the Flurry. There are events for single shooter with pair and teams with pairs. I will be available to help other shooters with pairs who need loaders or stuffers. Just look me up. It wouldn't be the first time I loaded for the folks who beat me for HOA (including last year).

Last year I bought a new vest from Best. I have been very happy with it. Best will be returning as a vendor this year.
Give his rack a look. My vest is now embroidered so I can be found. Please say Hi if you spot me.

I am looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Matt,
I was referring to you listing seniors as 16 to 60 or whatever, I just think you switched around the seniors age group for the vets age group, that's all. So if my post upset you, I won't be able to make it this year unfortunately

Eis, Seniors would normally be described as shooters "Over 60" or whatever age is determined by the organization. 16 to 60 would be more appropriately described as "Open Class"

Eis, I apologize for sounding frustrated. I'm sorry you can't make it this year. I do hope you'll join us again one year and I get a chance to meet you. ---Matt

The Vintage Gunners has added or modified some events to encourage more women shooters. Please pass the word. I think the 50-target Ladies Only Side Event to be shot on Friday or Saturday will be very popular. Any gauge is acceptable plus there will be winners in the Hammer Gun and Hammerless categories.

I am thinking about coming on Sunday. I have never been before. What time do I need to be there by to shoot the main event? Is there a single start time, or just start when I get there? Info about how the day goes is appreciated.

I will be the guy with Lederhosen (non of my ancestors would have starred in Downton Abbey) and a yellow Labrador. See you all Saturday.

Newlyn1, You'll need to be there in time to be on the course by 1pm, I believe.

The weather forecast is very good for the whole weekend. Look forward to seeing everyone there.---Matt
