Please support the PGCA Youth Shoot at the Southern

Post by fox-admin »

This is shaping up to be a great event. If you will be attending the Southern this is a great event for the younger generation. Wouldn't be great if the winners were all shooting Fox guns!! Craig Larter
THIS EVENT IS FREE TO ALL REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS COMPLIMENTS OF THE PGCA

Many of you saw the announcement in the Parker Pages about the upcoming Youth Shoot the PGCA is sponsoring at the 2018 Southern Side X Side. In case you didn’t see it or you are a Forum Associate I wanted to post some of the details here. At this years Board of Directors meeting, held at the Southern, the idea for the shoot was brought up by Gary Carmichael. He stated he would donate a 16 gauge Parker Trojan to be given away at the event. After much deliberation and discussion a proposal was put together and presented to Bill Kempffer, Founder and President, of Deep Rivers Sporting Clays and Shooting School. His team reviewed the proposal and wholeheartedly got on board. In addition, Morris Baker, RST Shells, agreed to provide the ammo Brad Bachelder agreed to donate his time and talent to restore the gun.

The mission of this program is to attract young shooters to our double gun world. It is not a recruiting tool for any particular organization or a vehicle to demonstrate that one make of side by side is superior to another. It is open to any and all youth shooters 10 - 17 years of age. They may shoot ANY side by side. It is our hope that our fellow double gunners from LC Smith, Fox, Lefever, German Gun Collectors and any other groups or individuals shooting Side by side doubles will attend and participate.

The following are some of the particulars regarding date, time and rules. As everyone knows, when putting together an event such as this some things may change from what is originally published. If that happens notifications will be published on our forum. Please feel free to share this information with anyone interested in passing on our sporting heritage to future generations.

Date: April 28, 2018

Time: 1:30 pm

Venue: Five Stand

Shooting Participants: The event will be open to any shooter age 10 – 17 years.

Proposed Rules:
1) Shooters may use any Side by Side shotgun.

5) Shooters will shoot 6 targets at each stand for a total of 30 shots.
6) Top gun in each group will be awarded a trophy
7) In case of a tie, scorecards will be compared and the first missed target will eliminate that shooter. If still tied, a shoot off will take place. A coin will be tossed and the winner will determine who will shoot first. The loser will choose which station will be shot.
8) Every shooter will have their name entered in a drawing, for the Parker Trojan, to be held at the conclusion of the event.
9) Age groups 10 – 11 and 12 -13 must have an adult gun bearer standing directly behind them to act as a safety monitor.
10) All shooters must sign waivers and Hold Harmless agreements.
11) Eye and ear protection required of all participants.

The future of the shooting sports lies with the youth of today.
