Results are now posted on the Pintail website. While weather Sunday was humid, it didn't rain. It looks like there were 58 Sunday main event shooters. Last year there were 103, so it was certainly down this year. With the competition from EPIC for vendors, wet weather, and no Parker gathering this year, it clearly got hit hard from a lot of sides.
While many in attendance were disappointed to see the sharp decline in shooters and vendors at this year's Vintage Cup, we should keep in mind the other sxs shoots have all grown in vendors and shooters this year, which is an encouraging sign that these types of events overall are actually growing.
By comparison, this year's Southern had about 90 main event shooters (not including the Parker/Smith main event shooters.) I recall the Great Northeast at Hausmans had over 80 shooters for the Sunday main event. Last year's Fall Southern SXS had about 50 main event shooters and I suspect it will it continue its upward growth next month.
