It�s one month and counting to the Northeast Side by Side and the A H Fox Collectors� 6th annual Bo-Whoop Long Range Championship. Dates are May 31 to June 2, 2013 at Hausmanns Hidden Hollow in Friendsville PA (northeast corner of the state near Montrose the Susquehanna County seat). The location is a few miles south of Vestal NY. The A H Fox Collectors Association will have an assortment of fine Fox shotguns and ephemera on display. Many Side by Side enthusiasts here in the northeast feel this is a �must do" event - with its excellent courses, camaraderie and fellowship, and to buy/sell/trade vintage SxS guns and related items. The sporting course is a mix of grouse type targets, driven birds and shots over water.

You are all invited to bring your Foxes not only to shoot but also to show your gun(s), discuss features, problems or most anything else you want to know on Ansley�s Finest.

For 2013 our Bo-Whoop Long Range Championship will be expanded to include a separate event for vintage single barrel trap (SBT) guns. Full details on both events will be posted at the shooting station. But for your planning: you may shoot 10 gauge and smaller at the Bo-Whoop targets (1-1/4 ounce and 7-1/2-shot maximums). And our new SBT event will be limited to vintage single barrel trap guns such as Fox, Parker, LC Smith, Ithaca, Baker, Lefever, etc. - all using standard trap loads. Purses will be done for both Fox Collector events, and the high A H Fox shotgun will be recognized as our 2013 Bo-Whoop winner with shooter's name engraved on our perpetual trophy.

There are no parking or admission fees. Many vendors will have SxS guns and accoutrements for sale or trade under the tents. An excellent food vendor will be on site. Stock up on RST shells while there. RST brings a big truck, and if you buy a few flats the savings in shipping cost will help with your gas money!

You can find most anything you need to know on Ernie Hausmann�s website: link follows here:

The Lefever Arms Collectors Association will also be there. Although we aren't having a dedicated Lefever event this year we will have a number of rarely seen high grade Lefevers on display.

Looking forward to this shoot again! Our schedule doesn't conflict so I get to play for 3 days!! Might even have to use my newest SxS, a beautiful Fox Sterlingworth. Hoping to find a Win M21 in the tent too. Good times, good times.

It's just about 10 days to the NE Side by Side at Hidden Hollow in northeastern PA, to include the Fox Collectors' Bo-Whoop Long Range Shoot and our new Vintage Single Barrel Trap (SBT) Gun Championship which is named the William C Letterman Cup. Please refer to the first post here for more details. The Hidden Hollow link is included.

Both of the Fox Collector's shooting events will run from 9:00am to 5:00pm, on Friday May 31 and Saturday June 1. You may sign up at the shooting station just inside the gate coming from the parking lot, no preregistration is necessary. The NE Side by Side continues with Hausmann's Main Event on Sunday June 2.

Here are two pics of the perpetual Trophies for the Fox Collectors� Bo-Whoop Long Range Championship and our new William C Letterman Cup event for vintage SBT shotguns. Shooting starts one week from today at the Northeast Side by Side.

Copy of the extended forecast from the Scranton PA paper. Scranton is about 40 miles from Hidden Hollow, straight line as the duck flies. Looks like shorts and T shirt weather. A couple of thunderstorms shown for Sunday, but they usually develop in the late afternoon when things are winding down.

A little cooler in Friendsville!!

Shorts are packed and I'm hitting the road!

See you all there!

Mark, I had no idea you did not live "On the property". You're always there when I arrive and still there when I leave. Bill Murphy

While all of you mavens drive off the Hausman's (a good event) remember this:

You are taking your money to a state whose senator, Pat Toomey, ginned up a gun control bill to take your shotguns away.

If I were you, I'd take my lunch, and fill up outside the PA border.
