MANY heartfelt thanks are in order for a great shoot:
1. First to The Diety for the beautiful day we had in Southern Arizona (it would however be official Paradise Season
)
2. To the Tucson Trap & Skeet Club, and members Lon Berg, Greg Franklin, and Jerry Haack, for hosting the event and their gracious welcome.
3. To Jim Z. for volunteering to supervise the 2 Man Pheasant Pflush.
4. To Bill Hardy for his generous contribution to the
Theodore Roosevelt Association, and the donations by the participants to off-set the shoot expenses.
5. To David Moore of William Larkin Moore for donating THREE CASES of 2 1/2" low pressure loads.
We may need to name next year's get together 'The 16g LC Smith Memorial Doubles in the Desert' shoot, since we had 3 in attendance
Phil Carr had a neat No. 3 LC Smith trap gun with vent. rib, HOT, and BTFE choked .045 in both barrels and an 11g Parker hammer lifter, Ross Berck brought a son, a J grade Fox SBT, and a Lefever from Neb., and Jerry Lape had lots of stuff including his Parker and a knockout piece of walnut
And especially, thanks to all the participants. Pics of a few are up on the PictureTrail album
