Re: Vintage Gunners Cup 2024 location?

Just saw this on Parker site, I don't know why it's moving, plus it's grouse and woodcock season.

Re: one eye or both

Both but you must be right eye dominant for right shoulder shooting . If not people do different things like tape on the left glasses lens.

Re: briley chokes in vintage shotgun

In my opinion they will kill the value. If too tight use spreaders. I for one will not buy a double with Briley chokes.

Re: What is your lightest weight Fox??

I agree with Frank, I have a English 2 inch 12ga that weighs 5lbs 8 oz. It feels great but is very whipping and hard to control on any crossing shot. For me a grouse gun between 6 1/4 & 6 1/2 lbs works the best.

Re: Seen while grouse hunting

Nice bird Frank, all the streams I hunt near in the Catskills are either dry or close too it. Good deal on the bird houses.

Re: First grouse hunt

Frank same story in the Catskills, I believe the reasons for the most part are hawks, owls and turkeys . I also don't buy west nile virus.

Re: Fox-Parker Challenge at VGC

This is a tough one, you have a event without classes, so you have average shooters against master class shooters ,no contest. I think you have to just draw 5 shooters out of all who try to qualify.
