AH Fox Grouse Challenge at "The Rock", July 28-31

Posted by Mike Koneski on June 19, 2022, 9:37 am

Let's hear it for the 1st annual A.H. Fox smallbore Grouse Challenge. (applause sign lights up) :clap:

Here's the scoop;
It will be a 27 bird event shot on the smallbore course over 9 stations with 3 birds per station. It will be shot low gun and the presentations will be a single from trap A, then a simo pair from traps B/C. There will be NO SHOW BIRDS. One shot per bird. The cost is $25. There will be a trophy for HOA and any ties will be decided by long run from the front. To qualify for this coveted trophy you must shoot an A.H. Fox 20 or 16ga gun manufactured in either Philly, Utica or any CSMC smallbore.

Good luck and I hope to see you there. Daryl will have 16 and 20ga guns for those that would like to participate but don't own a smallbore. I only ask that you return the gun.

In 2023 we may open this event up to any manufacturer for a trophy as well as for the Fox trophy. We just keep adding events, if you can't find enough to shoot you aren't looking hard enough!! :bowdown:

Mike: the current header states the following
"Posts announcing shoots are welcome, but should be restricted to events specifically providing opportunities for participants to use L.C. Smith and other vintage shotguns."

I understand that statement could be interpreted as allowing posts for shoots in which L.C. Smith guns are excluded.

I've changed the header to read
"Posts announcing shoots are welcome, but should be restricted to events specifically providing opportunities for participants to use L.C. Smith shotguns."

Drew,
To clarify what Mike posted ALL makes of vintage smallbores may be used on this event but only an AH Fox may win the trophy, much like the LC Smith turkeyshoot where you may shoot any vintage gun but the top honors go to an LC Smith. Sorry for the confusion.

I neglected to add that there will be a 1-3 second delay after the call. Gun cannot be mounted until the bird is in view.
