The Lefever Arms Collectors Association gave Mike and Rock Mountain their word last year that they would continue to exhibit at the September Shoot. The Vintager"s Cup was extinct. There is no question of backing down on our word to Rock Mountain after the effort they have made to put this shoot together in the previously vacated time frame. As I understand it the other collectors groups have honorably done the same. Creating a deliberate atmosphere of ill will suggests to me that the "New Vintager's" has failed to learn from the mistakes that led to the demise of the "Old Vintager's". Splitting what is a finite pool of participants and vendors seems to be a selfish move on the part of the self proclaimed "New Vintager's".
