LOL that's what I was thinking.

Missed the announcement for this.
Might be an idea to set a date earlier in the season - and with longer lead time.
Muzzleloaders and other antiques (smoke) welcome?

Well, just got home from what hopefully will be the first of many get togethers.

Many thanks to VictoryXC (Patrick) for organizing it. A little cooler than expected as we lost the sun and the wind picked up as the day wore on so there weren't as many photos taken as might have been, but there were some snaps taken and I'm sure a few will show up here. But we had a great time shooting and talking SxS.

For those who were interested but couldn't make it, I highly recommend you try again for the next one. Hard to get better than a good bunch of guys having fun shooting.

Great event boys! I had a great time. Great looking sxs's as well Look forward to seeing some pictures!

 

[bluedcanoed]

I also had a great time today. Thanks to those who organized and promoted this event. I hope for bigger and better next time.

Glad you guys had a good time. Wish I could have been there and I hope there's a next one.

 

[brybenn]

I'm jealous of those who made it but I had the amazing opportunity to shoot a Holland and Holland royal while running the skeet at my local club
I hope to make the next one

I am going to work at trying to set up a SxS shoot in central Alberta next year. I am thinking a trip to Beaverhill Sporting Clays.

Great idea! We had a great time at ours and I am sure you will to.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, I had to reestablish my photobucket acct.

It was great to meet you all and to see some of you again, I look forward to the next ourting!

Although there was no official photographer on site I did get a few passable photos on my phone. Sadly a very spotty record of who attended and what guns were passed around. Next time we need a nonshooter to document these important facts.

Here is a gun rack with samples of French, British, Italian, American and Belgian SXS's

Canvas Back (Right) with spectacular Manufrance Ideal grade 6(?) and myself with WP Jones SLE

And the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Mark, the collective wisdom of the DoubleGun forum and the French gun fanatics at DarneUSA forums decided it was a Ideal 6R EE. Love that Jones! Saving my pennies!

 

[VictoryXC]

I should be noted that a vote was taken and the "2015 Best Gun" award went to James and his Manufrance Ideal 6R EE. As Mark said, the gun really is spectacular.

A special thanks to James & Mark for not only bringing so many fine guns to the event, but for also giving the rest of us the chance to shoot them!!!
