Fox Collectors

Just for comparison on Tom's experience with the USPS, a new purchase left a smaller town in Alaska by Priority Mail on Thursday afternoon and got to the Anchorage Hub at 2 am on Friday morning. Apparently it's stalled there today for Juneteenth but tracking shows projected delivery to me on next We...

Thanks Tom, that’s pretty good for the USPS. I have a Priority Mail to be sent today from Alaska to PA and let’s see how that shipment does. frank

Tom, as others have posted, a nice find and story. Bam! That was a quick delivery. Was it shipped by USPS or otherwise? frank

Some random pics of the vendor tent and RST setup in the barn. Overall it was a great show and shoot. I had some scratch from a recent live auction and my collection reduction took an upward spike; sold one gun and and bought two at Hausmann's, along with one at the nearby Rock Mtn subgauge shoot on...

I’m not involved in that but suggest you send a PM to Fox-Admin (Craig) to get enabled. frank

No Dana it isn't . To get a Record Card copy you must be a paying member of the AHFCA, not just a registered user, and then sign in with your password and post the Card request in the Members Forum which isn't visible here unless you're a paying member, enabled and signed in. frank

Nitre "bluing" is basically a heat color process that also creates a thin oxide coating for some corrosion protection. At the time Foxes were made, nitre and rust bluing were typically in use but the latter does etch the surface and results in more of a matte finish and doesn't look right ...

Some heavy hitters on both teams; I'd say they were just about evenly matched. There’s always some element of luck in competitive sporting shooting ….. wind gusts, flight path variations, etc. frank

Five of us got together today for some warm up shooting at nearby Rock Mountain. Afterwards I trailered my shooting chart from its RM home base to Hidden Hollow and looked at guns already tabled by Barnett, Robin Hollow and Steve Cobb. Many other vendors were driving in as I left for home at about 2...

I second Daryl’s request and if you can bring 2 or 3 folding chairs that would be better. Chairs are always at a premium at the BW and Letterman shooting stations. frank

Yes Tom, that's probably correct but best to check with Earnest. Last year the reps of one of the other Associations told me that's why they couldn't do it on their donated tables. frank

Agreed on Jeff, Kevin and Tom staffing the Fox booth. Last I heard Earnest has discouraged the open FS advertising of Fox or other maker guns on their respective organization tables. That’s to non compete with vendors who’ve paid for their tables. With that said, FS and WTB advertising works well by...

Just a reminder to all that the Northeast Side by Side is coming up next week on June 4-6 at Hausmann's Hidden Hollow SC in Friendsville, PA ..... that’s near Montrose, the Susquehanna County seat. Side by side shooting on the courses, 5-stand and games, many vendors under the tent and in buildings,...

I had a few dealings with Jerry over the years and once bought two desirable Foxes from him. A nice and honorable man and certainly well known and appreciated by the LC Smith guys. Sorry to hear the news and I do wish him the very best. frank
