TO ENTER:
STEP 1 Fox gun shooters should register for the American Classic event with the Vintagers organization. Shooting for the
Ansley H. Fox Championship may be done on
Friday or Saturday, your choice. You may register at the Vintage Cup, but please note that preregistrants get
free admission to the Vintage Cup. This can save you $20.00 per day! You may preregister by following the instructions on the 5th menu item (left side) of the Vintagers link.
http://www.vintagers.org/ STEP 2 Participants
must bring their
blank shooting score card by our Fox table,
before doing any shooting on the American Classic course. Each participant will pay their entry fee and agree to shoot with a Fox-designed gun on the American Classic course. The blank scorecard will be stamped with our official Fox Collectors stamp to verify the entry. Anyone shooting the course before paying the entry fee is ineligible to compete in the AHF Championship. Acceptable genuine Fox guns are 12-16-20 gauge Philadelphia or Savage-Utica manufacture, or 16-20-28-410 CSMC Fox. Philadelphia Arms Company guns are also acceptable. No Fox Model B’s or Model B clones.
STEP 3 After the contestant shoots the American Classic venue, they are asked to bring their score card back by the Fox Collectors table to have the score entered in our record. Winning scores - as confirmed by the Vintagers - will be awarded the Trophies and merchandise noted here earlier.
In the event of a tie or ties, the official places as determined by Pintail Point’s competition scoring software will be used to determine our winners.
Since scores will be recorded by Pintail Point station referees, all shooters including Fox officers are eligible to enter our Ansley H. Fox Championship event.
Multiple entries in the A H Fox Championship are permitted since the Vintagers allow multiple entries in the American Classic. If a shooter enters the A H Fox Championship more than once, his/her best score will be used for the Trophies and the Loonie Lewis awards.
The Fox Directors in attendance at the Vintage Cup reserve the right to make field decisions on anything not specifically noted herein. Vintagers rules will be used insofar as possible.
