Thanks to everyone in Fox Universe and Vintage Gun Nation for supporting the AHFGCA event!! We threw 48 Bo-Whoop rounds for score, 26 WCL rounds for score and 70 practice rounds combined!!! You guys really stepped up to support your Association and on behalf of the Fox BOD, I want to thank you all for making this possible!! I am honored to be your event/target dude and look forward to to setting some more evil BW/WCL targets again in 2018, Lord willing and the river don't rise!!

my first time shooting it with a Super- scores can only get better (i hope :D )

i know presentations are limited by terrain - as well as falling shot being a concern

and I know the traps do double duty for the Letterman event

but a thought

Nash Buckingham with his Bo Whoop was famous for hitting the tall targets -is there a way to add some nose bleed high birds to the Bo Whoop event?

As a watcher and shooter (I tried), I would like to sincerely thank all those that made it possible. I'm sure it took a lot of planning and effort to set it up (those were tough targets by the way), man it, fill the traps and keep track of everything. You guys did a fantastic job.

Yeah, and Mrs. Cambria's brownies were pretty darn good too.

Rumor has it that both events were won by Mike Campbell.

Targets are different each year. Last year we had a long chondelle and a teal type outgoer. Maybe next year I'll make them fast and far instead of easy-going cupcakes like this year. :shock:

I guess it was an unfounded rumor, Bill :(

I have a 1916 Ithaca Flues...32", about 40 pts, straight grip, mucho colors but a couple dings. A little quick and flat shooting for my trap style, but about perfect for shooting sporting type singles from a low gun.

Wow, nice trap gun, Frank. She's a real looker. How is that 34" barrel choked?

I'm glad you offset that pic of evil Mike with that stunner of an Ithaca. Wow, nice find.
