Southern Side by Side Championship & Exhibition Fall Classic

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deep River Sporting Clays and Shooting School and Back Woods Quail Club have partnered to offer the Southern Side by Side Championship & Exhibition Fall Classic October 21-23, 2011. This is the fourth year the Fall Classic will be held at the beautiful Back Woods Quail Club in Georgetown, SC.

The Fall Classic will feature championship courses with a shooting schedule that includes Compak Sporting as well as traditional Sporting Clays. Experts from the United States and Europe will be available for gunfittings and gun appraisals and the exhibition will include the finest side by side guns as well as clothing and accessories.

The Fall Classic is the home of the American Classics Team Challenge. In this competition, shooters are classified according to the American manufacturer of the gun(s) they shoot. The highest five shooters from each gun manufacturer will comprise a team and the highest team score wins the challenge. Last year’s winner was the Parker team and the year before the win went to the L.C. Smith team. Also participating were teams with Winchester, Fox and RBL manufactured side by sides.

Because Back Woods Quail Club is also a hunting preserve, additional activities are available. A Side by Side Continental Pheasant Tower Shoot will be held in the morning on Friday, October 21. Only 22 guests can be accommodated for this shoot, so advanced registration is recommended. Quail hunting and morning or afternoon deer hunts will also be available during the week of the Southern Side by Side Championship & Exhibition Fall Classic.

The 2011 Fall Classic comes on the heels of a very successful 12th Annual Southern Side by Side Championship & Exhibition Spring Classic held in April at Deep River Sporting Clays and Shooting School.

“The Fall Classic is in response to customer requests for another opportunity to celebrate the side by side shotgun here in the south with exhibitors and competitions,” said Bill Kempffer of Deep River

“We have had many requests in the many years of the April Southern Side by Side, but could not accommodate a second large event on the Deep River grounds,” Bill said. “Rick Hemingway’s (owner of Back Woods Quail Club) offer to partner with us, using his remarkable grounds, and his talents setting the targets and running the competitions for a fall shoot overcomes all the problems.”

Back Woods Quail Club is located just off SC 51 south at the intersection of SC 24 and SC 41/51, not far from Myrtle Beach or Charleston.
