Respectfully as well;
My statement still stands. How many people belong to the Vintagers, - Now compare that number to how many people belong to the NSCA.
The math is inescapable. The vast majority of Sporting Clays Shooters shoot over/unders or automatics vs. Vintage Side x Sides.
The math is on the EPIC management's side. They really don't care about the Vintage Side x Side shooters. Otherwise they would have picked a different venue.
Also, excluding Vintage Doubles and Wingshooting Adventures, the vendors you mention have extensive inventories in firearms other than side x sides and I'm sure that they will be on display at EPIC.
