Jim, the shoot was a lot of fun , in a nice venue in the low mountains above Three Forks where the Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson rivers come together to form the Missouri river. Although we've had a month of rainy weather, unusual for here, we had two days of good weather for the shoot. Lots of interesting guns. The high shooter was Frank Stewart with an 89 out of 100. He used a beautiful, 98% original condition Scott hammer gun. We didn't get a chance to see all of the guns, but a few that come to mind were a cased Westley Richards droplock, a beautiful Blanch sle 16 ga. engraved like a Watson Bros. or a Holland Royal with the background removed. I used a C E Overbaugh hammer gun that was sourced by Lindner, but , like some others, I worked hard to get over 50%. Targets were all quite shootable in their setup. Hats off to Charlie Pfleger of Hill Rod and Gun for setting up the shoot.
A nice thing was getting to meet Silver and having a tailgate gun show with a friend who showed a Fukert drilling, a Mac Naughton round action, a fine Kessler hammer gun that was proofed in Belgium, which seemed unusual. A few other guns which I can't recall at the moment.
