    Group of young shooters finishing up before the next group starts their event.
    The place was packed. Parking lot full and much of the roadway.

    This group of kids finished shooting sporting clays and headed back to vendors row and the campground.

    Did I mention that that there were kids everywhere?

    Being a HistoryBuff and never wasting an opportunity to share some history, I took some vintage target throwers out in hopes to display them in the OSTAHOF museum. They graciously gave me a good spot. Some of these traps are rare and few will ever see in in their lifetime. The kids liked them. The adults seemed to like them too.

    HB,

    When you mentioned you were "Thinking" about going out there to see the kids, I was thinking about the What If's...

    What if HB took that super rare Hindmarsh trap, or his Ligowsky trap with him ???

    How minds work in one direction...So glad you got out there.

    Last time we were together was with old friend Doc Parsons at the CC...Still remember that wonderful trip and the memories.

    Thanks for all the pictures friend !

    HB,
    Thanks for the great photos and for displaying the trap machines. Sharon and I spent the day there last Saturday and had blast watching the kids shoot and talking to them when they were between events. All the kids we talked to were just so happy to be there and to be shooting. It was really one of the best days we have ever spent at the Cardinal (and that is saying something!). Watching the young ones shoot reminds us all of just why we started shooting in the first place, just for the love of shooting. I hope the last couple of days brings them great weather and big scores!

    Don

    PS: I hope Mr. Potterfield is asking Brad to retire that shirt!

    Thank you everyone for the kinds words. I've been a big supporter of youth shooting and I feel reinvigorated just watching them compete in all the shooting sports.

    I wanted to mention that the museum had a target display and thanks to a well-known poster, visitors were able to see the Ligowsky #3 clay pigeon.
