DoubleD,
You've picked the best National Classic to be your first...welcome! Your K-20 will be welcome as well
Although the US Veterans Open is admittedly tuned-up to challenge the competition shooter using a modern target gun, ALL the National Classic courses (Sporting Clays & Five Stand) are for the double, pump and game gun shooters to enjoy and will more closely replicate the speed and distance of game birds. Your new K-20 will be very appropriate...and you'll be competing only against other shooters using the same action type and gauge. Of course if you have a Side-by-Side to match your DoubleD 'handle', please bring it too. We'll have a good supply of cartridges on hand for vintage guns too.
The National Classic Preliminary rounds (50 targets)for Sporting Clays and Five Stand for classic-style and vintage double guns, pumps and O/U's will be held on Friday. The main event Championships (100 targets) can be shot either Sat. or Sun...or BOTH. Re-entry is encouraged with awards for action type and gauge ... so if you have'em, bring'em!
The vendor list is dynamic and new dealers and manufacturers are being added daily. What you heard is TRUE...HiDefSpex will be on hand to show off the latest in tint technology! I assume there will be demo glasses and I am interested in seeing the new 'specs' myself.
By the way. If you enter any 'main event' you're given a ticket invited to the dinner party on club grounds Saturday night. A good chance to meet and greet fellow shooters and vendors too.
Weather forecast is sunny and 70's all weekend...you won't want to miss this one.
