Thanks for the reminder Raymund. I've had a crazy couple days and it just slipped my mind. It's pretty simple.

Once you arrive at the club, if you haven't been there before, just find anyplace to park. The area we will be occupying is quite obvious.....to the right, under the covered area. You will need to sign a waiver and pay the waiver fee with the club. So first, find me and I'll have some waivers to complete and then I'll send you inside the club to do the financial transaction. I think it's $20. After that, if you have guns you want to display, find a spot on one of the tables. They are wooden picnic tables so bringing a blanket to lay the guns on is a good idea. I'll have clips to hold any blankets down in case of a gust of wind.

We will have a skeet field reserved and that is used by us on an impromptu basis. Want to shoot? Find a couple other guys (won't be hard) and go shoot. The Club has moved to a payment card system and we will be working out the details on how we will manage that later today. Will let you know tomorrow at the event.

Weather is looking great. Looking forward to renewing some friendships and making new ones. See you all tomorrow.

Just spoke with Canvasback and here are the details updated from last year:

The 7th Annual Double Gun Classic​

Guidelines and Pricing
The first thing upon arrival is for all non-members of the Oshawa Clay and Target Club to register with James (Canvasback), and fill out the guest sign-in form.

After you have received and completed your form you can proceed into the clubhouse and pay the $25 guest fee, and this payment can be made by cash, debit or credit.
Note that all visitors to the club require a PAL.

Target rounds for skeet, trap and 5-stand will cost $8 per round of 25 targets and must be purchased through us, and in CASH ONLY.
Target rounds will be paid for and loaded through our card.

Regarding ammo the clubhouse may have some 12 gauge x 2 ¾” target shells available for sale, however it would be best if you brought your own.
Note that shells need to be 12 gauge equivalent target loads or less, sizes #7.5, #8 and #9.
Shooting glasses and ear protection are also required.

Look forward to seeing everyone, it’s going to be a great day!
 
Disappointed I missed this - just happened across this thread tonight.
Will mark my calendar for next year so as not to miss.
Looks like a good time was had, and those are some beautiful doubles!
 
Unfortunately things in life don’t always work to your favour. I was excited to attend but circumstances didn’t allow. However it was a beautiful day and I’m confident all had a fantastic time. A big thanks to everyone that makes this event possible.
 
Well another one in the books. The 7th annual Double Gun Classic came of yesterday without a hitch. Although we missed a few stalwarts (Steve, Derek, Adam and Bry, I'm talking to you) it was extremely well attended by both double gun enthusiasts and by fine double guns. The weather was almost perfect, the club helped us by adding 6 new picnic tables (all got filled with guns) and we had a brand new attendee with the coveted Gun of the Year award.

Here is John (WR1894) with his WW Greener 4 bore, a stunning behemoth that won the Gun of the Year award in a landslide. It was a jaw dropper for anyone who saw it and especially anyone who picked it up. Congratulations John. And technically John is the first actual recipient of the Gun of the Year Trophy, thanks to the incredible workmanship of Chris Dawe in creating it and a large group of vintage enthusiast who funded it's creation.



Additionally we have Raymund, who won the informal "Lightest 12 gauge challenge" with a Verney Carron O/U that weighed in at 5.8 pounds.



Additionally we had Doug "Ol Flinter" win the high score on the skeet field with a competent score of 23 and Chris Dawe walked away with the prize for "traveled the longest distance" although Brian from Houston TX is filing an appeal.
