Hello Frank Shaw, Mike and Susan Koneski, the owners of Rock Mountain Sporting Clays, are sponsors of our L C Smith Calendar. Mike and Susan Koneski have quietly been great supporters of our L C Smith club in many other ways. Their shooting club is located way up in North Central Pennsylvania far away from any large city. It is difficult, very difficult, to get LCSCA members to volunteer and commit to an event far enough in advance of an event to publish that event in any of our printed materials for the most part. In my case I cannot even guarantee that I will be alive in 6 weeks or 6 months and many of our LCSCA members are in the same or worse medical condition then I am. So events frequently do not appear in any of our long range plans. Do you recall the old joke about I do not even buy green bananas ??? The good news is a LCSCA member has stepped forward and volunteered to set up our club's display at Rock Mountain on August 2, 3, and 4 of 2019 during the big side-by-side shoot at Rock Mountain. Thank You Tom for taking on this big job at Rock Mountain. Frank Shaw, Other members at times ask why we do not have L C Smith sponsored shotgun shoots at locations in Tennessee or Mississippi or Arkansas or pick a place and the answer is that we cannot get some member to step forward and take on the work of managing an L C Smith SXS shoot at a new location. Resources at the LCSCA are available for starting and supporting new L C Smith events but we lack volunteers out in new locations. Frank, I almost have to laugh when you ask, "Is this activity sanctioned by the LCSCA?"..... Most all of the gentlemen who serve on our LCSCA board are as old or older then me and in poorer health then me. I will guess that our directors could not be any more happy then to have Tom Damiani, who for sure is older then me, step forward to take on this event at Rock Mtn. I hope I make it to Rock Mtn Sporting Clays again this year. Our friends Dick Miller and Andy will not be there this year, at least not in person in the flesh. Good Shooting To You, Jent .... posted April 21 of 2019
