Top 5 scores from each club will determine the winner. If the clubs tie we will go to the next score until the tie breaks. GO OXFORD!!

Oxford- you better watch out I got the "pros from Dover" signed up Joe Prestia-John Hoadley-Mike Martinelli-Ken Cavanaugh-Ron Ehman-Dave Comroe-Susan Butler-William Butler and I still may bring some other members of the Baldwin shooting family besides myself!

jon

Yur goin down WC

Hold on Jon. Mr. Hoadley shoots for Oxford. Maybe Vicky will shoot for you? Anyway, I'm not running scared just yet we have a few aces in the hole too.

Jon, are you going to be able to get Lisa and Clay Baldwin to pick up their trapguns? I thought they gave up on shooting. Right now on my bench I have Bob Pierce, Jim Roland, Bob Aldridge, Jack Aldridge, Larry Kirk, Ray Natale and I'm working on Ray Emerson and Carliss Bowers. With myself thats not a bad team. I have a few other aces I'm not mentioning yet.

I just picked up Skip Barber and Bill Piccirilli (spanky on TS) and maybe John Cavalli and Bud Fini (from sig sauer)!

Sorry about John Hoadley, but I gottem first!!!!

Jon, are you coming back thur nite for some more practice? I noticed you were missing a few the other nite!!!

entered 4 green birds at Oxford and won 4 green birds with only 1 green bird thrown to me!! that make 3 high high gun wins!! 48x50 today in the wind. I'll be one of the five scores, don't you worry. Jon

I don,t know if thats enough. Ray Emmerson and I ran 50 straights at the Pen-Mar Sat. in the wind and rain. (that includes hcp) IT'S ON!!!!

Maybe you can post all the scores on the TS.com score reporting site. This would be some winter trapshooting fun. Might start a trend.

Rich, West Chester Championship today, I got hold of some good shooters today- signed up Larry Grabowski 99x100 new club champ, me 98x100 runner up, Steve Thomer Club Handicap champ. I got my 3 squads and signing up more West Chester Shooters all the time!! (although some are signing up for my wife's Italian buffet not the shoot-complete menu will be posted soon) I still have the family option on Lisa & Clay they are NOT free agents or on waivers. Jon

Jon, I admitt your starting to make me nervous,NOT. All kidding aside, thats good shooting.

Jon, bring your guys out thur. nite to practice on some Oxford targets. I'd like to review your bench to see where we stand. I might have to call a few ringers in. Also, you could get lucky and get some more Dutch Way meat for your wifes menu. I'm not sure about your shooting but I know she can cook!!!

If you like we can throw some events from the 23yd line.

Rich if I bring my guys down your boys will head for the hills! Team is now up to 16 and growing. I will need some more hot italian sausage for the scallopini, and its more fun taking it from you than buying it at the store! See ya Thursday night!

Just make sure you sign up on my squad. We'll see how easy it is to take some meat from me!!

Non Shooters who would want to come to the after shoot party are welcome to join us! Adults (14+) $5.00- kids (13&under) free. Bring the whole family out to cheer your club!! "Kids shoot" after the big boys event. Please let us know if your non shooters are joining us by sending PM. Thanks WCGC

I"ll let the shooters know thats available. Sounds like we are going to have a good time. I just hope the weather is good.

Well it was another good night for West Chester to visit Oxford. Rich, I'm not saying its like candy from a baby but... Thanks to Ken (one of the WCGC team) for coming down to check out the Oxford birds, I hope you got to shoot before the down pour. Hey Oxford shooters, only 2 squads! whats up with that. We have a new bragging rights trophy on the line here, Chester County's Most Popular Gun Club. WCGC is planning to treat you right with our after shoot party, so sign up and lets shoot and than have a great time at the after shoot party! Bring your nonshooting wives, girl friends and kids to the party too!

Jon, I had 3 goals last night: Treat my guests good, make sure they got some meat for the after shoot party, and the most important one "lull the enemy general into a false sense of security". You made it hard by dropping the first target out but I bit the bullet and made it happen (I even threw in missing the green bird as an over the top touch). Mission accomplished!!

Here I was spotting you a target and you were planning to hand it to me anyway. Well that is hospitality for ya!! I will admit being drawn from the hat twice was pure luck. I'm not sure of the false sense of security, that 48x50 I shot looks good anyway you cut it.

By the map, Oxford is at the bottom on Chester County and West Chester is going to keep it that way!!!

We will see. I plan on letting our shooters do the talking on Black Friday. I signed up the guy who had a 50x50 in the Pen-Mar today. He knocked my 48 out of the top spot, so if I can't beat em have them on my team. Seems like the thing to do.

Rich, My Grandfather always told me if you were on the top you could only go one way and that is DOWNNNNN.

Ted

PS I may cut my hunting trip short so I can join in the fun.

Hey Rich,

Thanks for a well run shoot this past Sat!! As always. If I can get out of going to the HILLS for deer early, I will put my hat in the ring for Oxford also. It should be a lot of fun!! seeing the club from the bottom of the County ERUPT all over the one from the top!!

Capt. Rick Lapham IV

Guys, I hate to see you cut your hunting trips short but if you bag one early I will be glad to have you with me on the line. I think West chester is starting to worry a bit.

What me worry!! naaa. you don't stand a chance!!

Thats how we like em, over confident!!

17 days and counting. We at West Chester are making room for a new wall trophy! Too bad Oxford will not be able to display it this year, it would look very nice with the decor of your club house.

Rich..

I'll be there to shoot for the Oxford team if the weather is not going to be good for duck/goose hunting (Blue Bird Day).

However, the weather service has personally advised me that on the 27th, we're going to have snow and 25 + mph winds.

Curt

West Chester is offering trapshooting classes for all Oxford shooters tonight. Stop in for chow, longbird ($228)and a pointer or two! Come see how its done!

Curt, bring the rest of your crew from the duck blind. I'm sure the only birds flying on Black Friday will be the clay kind.

Do you think West Chesters' Team will be sitting ducks? no way Jose', say it ain't so, Joe.

Ok guys here is the menu for the after shoot party! "olive garden" salad, lettuce, onions. olives & pepperoncini w/italian dressing- Meatballs- Pasta Bolognese- Sausage Scallopini- Linguinie w/ clam sauce- Garlic Roasted Chicken- Baked Ziti w/ ricotta & mozarella- Linguinie al Carbonara- Fetuccini al Fredo- Italian Bread. - draft beer-soda

-I look forward to all of the shooters coming to our party!!

Man, I'm hungry already!!

Jon, when will you be picking up the hot and sweet sausage we are donating to feed the hungry trapshooters?

I'll come down on thursday the 19th to win some more. Those targets at Oxford break soooo easy. Its like they know its me shooting and break on their own, especially those green ones! On shoot out day they will fall from the sky like rain in a hurricane.

You should have shot in the Nor'easter thur nite. Maybe we can dial up some wind on Black Friday. I don't want it to easy for you.

I haven't heard anything from Mr. Wolf today. He must be busy with the Turkey Shoot at WCGC. We had a nice day at Oxford with our Turkey Shoot. 80 shooters in the events and 40 on the practice. Rick Young and I had the only 50x50's today. I'm working hard on my shooting form so I will be ready on Black Friday.

Yes Rich, I had to run our turkey shoot yesterday. I do miss not being able to make the Oxford turkey shoot. (Last year I was 4 for 4) This time of year is my "turkey season". I was able to get out and shoot twice yesterday (46x50) and win one bird with a 24- and I know that a 22 will not cut the mustard on black Friday. So I will be taking some practice this week with you on Thursday. The "Chester County's Most Popular Gun Club" trophy will be on display for Oxford shooters to longingly gaze at on Thursday night. I would love to leave it there for you guys, but you will have to win it first- fat chance!!:) Jon

As of Tuesday 11/17- only 10 days left till the shoot out! We have over 1190 views from interested shooters on this thread. Rich and I have been gathering our teams for 3 weeks now and our rosters are now complete. The menu has been posted and food has been purchased. The Trophy has been made. Now would be a good time for you viewers to post your team preference. I am a member of both West Chester Gun Club and Oxford Gun Club, but WCGC is my home club, so there is only one team in my opinion that stands a chance! Here is my prediction- that West Chester Gun Club will hold the trophy for the next year as "Chester County's Most Popular Gun Club"- settled on the trap line. Better luck next year Oxford!! And I'll go so far as to predict that a West Chester Shooter will win top gun of both lewis classes. I will not say which one of us will, because guessing who will be drawn out of the hat is taking a chance! Jon Wolf Team Captain West Chester Gun Club

Jon, I don't have a lot to say about who will win. I'm going to let my shooting and the shooting of Team Oxford do the talking. I do feel another 100x100 coming on. I'll see you on the line.

Ahh Rich. nothing to say eh...... Well.... I'm standing behind my team and claim. West Chester is going to walk away with it all!! I've tasted crow in the past.. its salty and its bitter. And chewy too. I spate it out! I don't want to eat crow again! I'll see YOU on the line!

Jon, I signed up 2 more ringers since we spoke last (All American). Maybe Oxford crow won't taste so bad(try ketchup).

Rich - do you have room for one more??

Gary, I'am sure Rich would be glad to have you. I known I would be happy to see you again and If I get home from my hunting trip in time, may be we can squad together. It sounds like this will be lots of fun and good eats to.

Good shooting to you, Ted Wallace

Rich, your gonna need all these guys. I'm top heavy in AA and A ranked shooters. I'm bringing our B,C and D class guys to win the second class lewis prize. See you tonight in Oxford, Still need to win more sausage for buffet. jon

Weather service is predicting rain for Black Friday.....let's hope the winds will be howling too.

Curt

Attn All Oxford shooters- Please post personal messages to me with your name and number of non shooters who will be joining us for the party(non shooting adults $5/kids 14 under free). This event is growing quite large and my wife is starting to worry about having enough food. WCGC has firm prepaid commitments from 30 shooters and 15 wives/family coming. She has increase buffet size from 50 to 75 people. Rich has said he might have 5 squads, but with no idea really what numbers may be coming from Oxford, We are not sure if a 75 person buffet will be enough and I want to have enough food and a good time too boot. For food planning purposes, please forward your information. Jon

Gary, I will be glad to have you and I hope Ted makes it back in time to join us. GO OXFORD!!!

Curt, I don't mind the wind so much but I really hope it doesn't rain. Some of my best shooters think they will melt if they get wet!!(I bet they don't duck hunt)

Just send those sugar shooters, who'll melt in the rain, to the WCGC club house to sit out the competition but not the party. You bunch of softies a little rain -- hah!!

Oohh-- how trap shooting can vary. I got to post first! Sorry Rich posting while you are still working. Tonight was not a good night for WCGC to visit Oxford. Won 1 of 3 green bird events with green bird, no high scores but did take more sausage for buffet from Oxford. I did manage to eck out a 23 @ position 2 while "someone" @ position 3 "only" hit 22. I will also admit up front that someone locked my keys in my car but I was more concerned with shooting "on the line with position 3" than my keys!! Showed the "Chester County's Most Popular Gun Club" trophy to Oxford shooters tonight. Told them it would be the last time they would see it in their club house, to get real good look!! Better luck next year. I hope to see you all next Friday! WCGC shooter will be there rain or shine- we don't melt in the rain- Jon

Jon, I notice there is no mention of the 16x25 you had the first round!!! I'm not proud of the way I shot but my 45x50 was high for the night.(my prize came from a highgun not the greenbird) On top of that, I got soaked that last round. I'm not afraid of a little rain!!!
