Northeast Side by Side

Posted By: DrBob · 04/14/12

Who is going to the NE SxS at Hidden Hollow in PA. June 1-3?
The Lefever Arms Collectors Association will be there with a great display of Lefevers and even some to try if you like.
We are sponsoring a Junior Shooter's Prize (age 21 and under) of a case of RST shells for the best (any make) score on the Greater Northeast Side by Side Classic.
Hope to see you there. Stop by the Lefever booth and say Hello.

Year on year, the most fun I have with my SxS's. I'll be there with my whole den of Foxtarts.

It's my favorite weekend of the year. I wouldn't miss it.

Here's the info for anyone not familiar with it:

I'll be there with my trailer again. I look forward to seeing everyone and pulling the trigger.

DrBob, email me if you want more prizes for the youth shoot.

Milt, Yes we are running the Uncle Dan Cup. This will be on the clays course on Saturday (and Friday too if Ernie keeps the setup the same both days). A number of our guys travel and the Sunday shoot is not an option.

Mark has graciously added a pair of his high grade GripSwell shooting gloves and a rosewood cleaning rod to the Youth Prize.
Hats off to you Mark.

I'll be there shooting either a Parker, Elsie, of maybe a Fox. My Lefevers are currently being brought back to life by my favorite gunsmith.

I have come into a small collection of Lefever's and might adopt one if they survive the Southern. Hidden Hollow and the Upper Pennisula (MI.) shoots are my two favorites.

Da kid and I will be there as in the 3 or 4 years past. Great guns,great targets and great people. Be sure to stop by the PGCA tables and sit a spell.

Dave, Ernie tells me you will be right next to us. Fair warning: There will be at least 4 Lefever Optimus Guns there. Bring out your best.

Count me in. I wouldn't miss it
I can't wait to see if Ernie has changed the course to eliminate the long walk between two certain stations...

A nicely restored Lefever EE came into my hands this weekend past. I'll bring it along for the Lefever experts to look over.

It is #20xxx and has or had the ejector on-off switch/button. Needless to say this pretty old gal is missing a part or two. I'll happily have them made but my gunsmith requested a drwaing, photo, or part to copy... Oh, the joys of 100+ year old guns! Maybe the Lefever guys can point me in the right direction...

Just a reminder on the A H Fox Collectors' Bo-Whoop Long Range Shoot. This competition is held in conjunction with the Great Northeast Side X Side Classic to be held June 1-3, 2012 at Hausmann's Hidden Hollow Sporting Clays in Friendsville PA (northeast PA in Susquehanna County near Montrose). 2012 is our fifth year for this exciting and challenging side event!

You don't have to be a member of the Fox Collectors Association to compete. And, any maker's SxS gun may be used for the Purse shooting..... that means Fox, Parker, LC Smith, Lefever, Browning, Winchester, Ithaca, Baker, Beretta, English guns, etc etc.

Please take note, new for this year are separate "Concurrents" and purse payouts for High Lady Shooter, and for High Youth Shooter. We'll also have three (3) purse payouts for the top three shooters/any gun. And you don't have to shoot with a Fox to bag any of the purses. Here's your chance to show what some of the other makers can do!

The guidelines for our 2012 Bo-Whoop Long Range Shoot are posted here.

My son was only 8 when we went there last year, and I was concerned he would not be allowed to shoot. The exact opposite was true, he was encouraged to shoot, and praised for doing so. I look forward to going back.

Mark,
Just by coincidence there will be a 16G EE 20522 at the Lefever tables to compare with yours. It has forend ejectors.

Will do Dr. Bob, We will have to dig out some high grade stuff for this event! See you there?
Dave....
