“ANSLEY H FOX CHAMPIONSHIP” WINNERS ANNOUNCED

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.

Congratulation everyone!!!

It looks like you had a great time, I only wish I could have been with you.

Congratulations Frank, Daryl & Dan! I enjoyed the targets, as I'm sure you guys did.

Does anyone know the results of the Main Event on Sunday? The Vintagers website suggests they'll be posted on the Pintail site, but they're behind in their postings for earlier shoots so I don't expect them anytime soon.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. Sometimes you get lucky. Mike, I didn't shoot the ME but checked the Pintail site anyway, and same as you couldn't find any of the scores as yet. IME the scores are usually tardy getting up on the net, both at Pintail Pt and when the VC was at Sandonona. Possibly the Vintagers request that for some reason? Frank

The winner of the main event for both the hammer and hammerless was Dave Fjelline, runner up was Carl Brandt in the hammerless. I think the scores were 122 and 121 respectively. It was great seeing everyone again and not having to shoot in the rain. I'm really glad that Craig, Paul et al attended the Parker banquet. It really is evident that we all love the same things only they were made by different companies. Thanks again for all you do.
PS- Frank, how did you like those little 7/8 Fiochhi's?
Daryl
