The A H Fox Collectors Association is pleased to announce our 2009 Championship winners. This was our second Championship competition held September 25-26 in conjunction with the Vintage Cup at Pintail Point in Queenstown, MD. Our Championship was offered as a “Concurrent” with the Vintagers American Classic venue, for shooters using Fox shotguns. The course consisted of 10 shooting stations with 50 targets on the Red Course. The targets were challenging to say the least. All told, 136 entrants participated in the American Classic venue.
Frank Srebro “Silvers” of Pennsylvania bested all other Fox competitors with a score of 45/50 targets, and was named our 2009 Ansley H Fox Champion . Frank fielded a 12 gauge Fox CE grade shotgun in factory configuration. Srebro is a founding Life Member and current Board member of the Fox Collectors Association. Frank also achieved the Ansley H Fox Champion title last year in our first ever event.
Daryl Corona of Maryland was Runner-Up with a score of 43/50 and he received our 2009 “FE Grade Champion” award. Daryl shot an early Philadelphia Arms Co. 12 gauge B-grade Fox in factory configuration. In addition to the FE Grade trophy, he will receive a three year extension to his current membership in the AHFCA. Corona was also the 2008 Runner Up in this event.
Dan Barrett of Michigan achieved third place, also with 43/50, using a 12 gauge Fox Sterlingworth. He was named our 2009 “DE Grade Champion”. Dan is a current AHFCA member, and in addition to the Trophy he will receive a 2 year extension to his current membership.
Note that Daryl and Dan both achieved the same numerical score and the cuts were made by Pintail course management using competition scoring software and their established tie-breaker stations. Both competitors achieved the same score on station #5, but Daryl bested Dan on the second tie breaker station #6.
Congratulations are extended to Frank, Daryl and Dan for their excellent shooting at our second annual Ansley H Fox Championship. Additional details on the winners and their Fox guns will be featured in the next edition of the AHFCA Newsletter. Pictures of the first and second place Trophy presentations are attached here. Dan was not available by press time for a picture with his trophy.
The A H Fox Collectors Association offers a sincere Thank You to all shooters who participated in this second year of friendly competition with Ansley Fox designed shotguns.
