UPDATE on the Northeast Side by Side

Post by Silvers »

Just a quick update on our Fox activities at the upcoming Northeast Side by Side .... today we started setting up for our Bo-Whoop Long Range Shoot and our W C Letternam Cup SBT event. As previously communicated, this year we'll have a third trap for each of the competitions. That third trap throws chondelle targets, kind of like a single quacker dropping into the blocks. As usual we "proof shot" the targets and I'm happy to report that a 410 using 2-1/2-inch shells with 1/2 ounce of 9's did the trick on all three birds. No kidding. And no excuses this year gents!

Reminder: you don't have to shoot a Fox to come away with any of the cash purses.

Getting set up at the Bo-Whoop shooting station. The WCL SBT shooting station will be off a bit to the right and isn't set up yet in this pic.

A little birdy out at Hidden Hollow suggested that I tell a certain member there's a concurrent convention going on in the area, same folks as in the lounge there at the Baltimore Show. :roll: He thought that member might want to show up a day or so early. :lol:

Frank, I am confused! How can you advertise the Bo Woop competition as a LONG range event when you you are saying .410's are doing well in the setup????

Jim, I didn't say the 410 with 9-shot did very well, only that all three birds were breakable with same. Comment was intended in humor for some friends who whine every year that the birds can't be broken, are too far out, flight path(s) are funky, we should allow 1-1/2 ounces of shot, "should have brought my Flak 88", etc etc.

This year the #1 target is a high quartering going-away bird - you can see the trap in the second pic, #2 is a nice slow incomer, #3 is a condelle that settles about 35 yards in front of the shooter. No problem gents .....
