what ever happened to La Becasse Ltd (?) guns? I believe they were located in Vermont?? I was looking back through some of the pictures Dave made at some of the Vintagers shoots in the past and saw several pics of Jack Dudley and his wife (?) Dani of La Becasse (or is it Le Becasse??) All or many of those folks seem to have dropped out of sight. And what happened to the gentleman named Poudrier (I think I spelled it correctly) Are they and the Vntagers still around?

The Vintagers are no longer. Except in local chapters. There is one here in NC.

If my memory is correct I am pretty sure Jack he called it a day he went to work at one of the big auction houses

That was a while back so he may have retired

I think Ray Poudrier (sp?) may have passed. I met him at the first Vintage Cup shoot. He seemed to be the major domo.
This was at Abbyville East in RI. 25-30 years ago.

Is it centered near Sanford where the annual shoots are held?

Is this the group that holds the shoot at Whittington center in New Mexico every year? I usually get an invitation to attend, and always plan to, and have never made it there yet!! Between back problems and shoulder replacements and weddings and funerals with family back in North Carolina I just have not been able to get up there to Raton yet. Maybe this year!!!
