There are plenty of "affordable" events for the common man if he balks at these prices. But the idea of both Vintagers and Game Fair is the ELEVATE the shooting sports and positively juxtapose them to endeavours that others accept. This can only preserve responsible sport, not debase it. Few in tweeds, breeks and carrying a Purdey ever cast a poor image on shooting. Or tossed a Coors can into the marsh. Just my view of things.

Gentlemen, The fee or cost to enter THE VINTAGE CUP is NOT $20.00. If a person signs up to shoot any of the many many shotgun shooting or rifle shooting events at the Vintage Cup then the entry fee is waived. If a person is a member of any Vintager Chapter then the entry fee is waived. If a person is a member of The Order of Edwardian Gunners at large then the entry fee is waived. For the vast majority of us there is NO ENTRY FEE to The Vintage Cup. Our Vintage Cup Shoot has a lot of problems but an outrageous gate entry fee is not one of them. For those of you who are members of The Vintagers and in contact with me by personal email you should be well aware of our internal problems with The Vintage Cup. Good Shooting To You, Jent ---- jentpmitchell@msn.com
