Update for those interested:
The shooting will be run as an Old Time Turkey Shoot, lots of 10 target competitions off of old Western White Flyer traps. Trap, skeet and sporting style shooting and some buddy shoots from long yardage, also buddy triples!

Cool but beautiful day in SE Arizona for the shoot; until the wind (and dust) started blowing about noontime. The Dragoon Mountains are in the distance.
Mike set up 16 yd. and handicap trap, and a fun 2 man buddy shoot with 3 targets in the air; the middle target a mini.

Lots of show-off guns including Mike's Remington collection.
Mike and Phil with 2 Smiths; a 1896 No. 1 that somehow was fitted with British Best 4 Iron Turkish with Birmingham Provisional Proof (I'm looking into that!) and a 20g Specialty with 32" barrels (1 of 123 made). They are standing in front of Mike's neat collection of vintage target throwers.

We had a great carnitas lunch courtesy of Kathleen.
It was good to see Mark again, and meet his wife.

Another thank you for Mike and his whole family, it seemed like everyone in his family pitched in to make it a memorable experience. I've been a sxs fan my whole hunting life growing up on sxs's. This is the first time I've been able to get to a sxs gathering, what a great experience. I'm looking forward to ones in the future.

Thank You Mike your family and all the friendly folks I met there.

Mike thank you so much for putting on a great SXS event. Fantastic food and great company. Your family and yourself did a wonderful job.
I bet there are few events can say they had over a dozen shooters lined up shooting SXS for an Annie Oakley shoot.
I need to get me one of those vintage throwers you used throwing three clays of 3 different sizes at the same time. Loved it.
Met some really great people and shot with many of them.
Drew thank you for taking time to join us and provide measurements on my Parker GH 28 gauge and my LCS, as well as the 2021 calendar.

Thank you from my family, a day shooting and visiting with old and new friends is very worthwhile.

As Roy Rogers says, "Till we meet again!"
