Time to mark your calendars Gents. Looks like we are on for the 4th year. Even with COVID we had a good crowd last year with 44 shooters as I recall. Hoping for an even bigger crowd this year. Info as follows:
4TH ANNUAL HOOSIER SxS CLASSIC
SxS SHOOT 08/21/2021
TRI COUNTY COON HUNTERS SPORTING CLAYS HIGHWAY 129, BATESVILLE, IN SHOTGUN START AT 10:00AM -- LUNCH INCLUDED COST FOR 100 BIRDS AND LUNCH --- $55.00
This is a fun shoot with non registered birds, no trophies or prizes. The purpose is simply to bring together some like minded folks who share a common appreciation of the SxS for a fun morning of shooting. Shoot any make, model or gauge that you like. If you have something to sell or show off please bring it along. As most of you know the display has grown over the years and I would encourage you to bring something along. Please RSVP to me at the email address below if you plan on attending so that I may plan accordingly for the number of expected shooters or feel free to give me a call if you should have questions. All shooters will receive a ticket for the door prize drawings. Last year we donations from several generous businesses. I would expect most of them to be back on board again this year. They will be recognized as time nears.

Good Morning All:
Another 30 days has elapsed, with plenty of activity I might add. The Weather Gods have not been kind to most of us of late. Record flooding in my area over the weekend and it appears a good deal of the remainder of the Country has weather issues as well. Some of our friends in Northern IN were surely restless last night as the storms went through. Hopefully all are well.
Plans are underway now to insure that the Classic goes on as normal. Most of you recall our good friend Greg “Fudley” Shaffer whom we lost in March of this year. Greg was a good friend and a constant presence at the Classic as well as many other shooting events. If you ever met Fudley you know that he was a jovial fella with a laugh that could fill the room. This years shoot will be dedicated to his memory.
Sign ups have been brisk as compared to prior years. It appears that folks are ready to get out. Back at you all in 30 days. Take care!
30 days and counting. 46 shooters have signed up so far. It would be nice to see some more of my LCS friends in attendance. Please do RSVP if you can make it. Hope to see you there.
LAST CALL

Good Morning All:
Time has flown and the day is almost upon us. As it stands right now we should have a fabulous turnout exceeding prior years attendance. We can still make room for a few more if need be. Please do read the following concerning the weather and road construction.
WEATHER: As of this morning Weather Wanda has down graded the chance of rain to 30% for Saturday with that being hit and miss depending on where you are standing. Please do bear in mind that we are under no time constraints or rules when it comes to getting the shoot in. We can delay the start, take cover and resume if it should rain, and I suppose you die hard duck hunters can shoot in the rain if you like. Recalling the first year when the skies opened up we had a little social time, ate lunch, and then shot under pleasant skies. Getting the last squad is out by 2:00 is the only priority so I am confident we can all get the round in under the current weather forecast.
ROAD CONSTRUCTION: For those of you coming in from the South SR 129 is shut down just on the South side of SR 48. I have been told there is a chance it may be open by Saturday morning, if not the detour is a simple one. When heading N on SR 129 from the intersection of SR 350 (proceed on SR 129 and disregard the road closure signs) go approximately 1 mile to left (West) on Mud Pike Rd, then .8 miles to right (North) on CR 200E, then 1.8 miles to right (East) on SR 48 which will take you right back to SR 129 and you will have effectively circled around the construction. Turn left at which point you will be 1.5 miles from the gun club. Coming in from the North (I 74) I am not aware of any construction.
Shotgun start at 10:00AM so I would plan on arriving a little early to allow for signups etc.
One last thing, please do consider bringing your favorite SxS for the display. You can shoot and display the same gun, possibly at the same time !
