TARGETS AWARDED (for each round in each event): 1 target for using pre-WW II SxS or SBT guns manufactured by American makers (Parker, L.C.

No targets awarded for the Theodore Roosevelt Fox – Ithaca – LC Smith Challenge. High gun for 50 targets of ‘Hunter’s Skeet’ using one of TR’s SxSs. We want this to be a time of fun and doublegun fellowship, and in order to reserve an adequate number of fields, it is important that we have an idea of the number of participants. Thanks to all who have already notified me of their intention to join us, and to those who have volunteered to help host the event. If you have not already done so, PLEASE PM or e-mail me at revdoc2@cox.net this week and indicate your plan to come, and the number of new shooters who will accompany you It is our hope that this shoot will honor the spirit and vision of Theodore Roosevelt, and donations will be accepted for the benefit of The Theodore Roosevelt Association http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/index.htm Checks should be written to The Theodore Roosevelt Association. Cash donations will be appreciated to cover shoot expenses and lunch for the pullers. As a service to all those making donations, I’ll have a chamber length gauge and a 12/16 micrometer bore and choke gauge available, for clean barrels and chambers only. Looking forward to meeting lots of ‘imaginary internet friends’ and may each of us finish the day with a big TR smile!
