I understand your good intentions but frankly this isn't my cup of tea, not only to be at one like it but also to see pictures on the world wide web. This looks to be a very small shoot and is being billed as bigger than it was. Use of the old commode while surely intended in levity just tells viewers that shooters and shooting are crude. We as a shooting fratenity can't afford that in todays world. If I did a bell curve of vintage type shoots I would put the very formal and proper Vintagers shoot at one end of curve and this one at opposite end. I hope you consider my reply and make adjustments next year if you do it again and then post about it.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion and that's fine with us. By the same token us North Dakotans are entitled to ours and to be perfectly honest, you couldn't drag me to one of your "black tie and champagne" events with a team of Fort Rucker mules. I may be 58 years old but I'm certainly not an "Old Shmoe". Here, have a Kleenex, I notice a bead of sweat developing on your stiff upper lip
