A Fox in the game ....

Post by Stan Hillis »

At the ripe old age of 100 years, my BE grade 12 gauge 32" barreled Fox carried the weekend in the S x S event, AA class, at the Southeast Regional in Savannah last September. I know it's a little late, but the award was just delivered to me. I usually shoot a more modern S x S in these competitions, but the BE wanted to go, and I agreed. Maybe Ansley would have been pleased. My score wasn't anything to write home to Mama about, but it was enough.

The Southeast Regional Championship. The "regionals" are pretty big shoots each year, probably second only to the Nationals in San Antonio.
