There will be manufacturers, purveyors of new and used guns, accoutrements, fine art, leather goods, clothing, dogs, furniture, hunting destinations, outfitters and so much more! So come and enjoy! We have some great news, this year we will be bringing back our ever popular Saturday Night Gala Dinner! This is a five course, all-inclusive meal and formal or vintage attire will be required. We will also be hosting a Ladies Afternoon Tea on Friday. We hope that you can make it to both of these socials to see old friends and make some new ones. Shooting Event News: We have added an interest to the Vintage Cup Main Event on Sunday sponsored by benefactors and Vintager friends, Joan and Bruce Samuels. This event is a Ladies Invitational wherein a lady can invite one partner with which to combine scores in the Main Event for a trophy. Partners must be chosen before the event and two ladies cannot pick the same partner. We have changed the Vintage Cup Main Event this year to be more user-friendly: we have reduced the targets from 130 to 100 and lowered the price so that more people can participate. For this year, we are also allowing re-entry into the Vintage Cup Main Event with Hammer and/or Hammerless gun. We got a great response from adding more events on Thursday, so we are keeping it that way. Plan on taking as many guns as you can for full enjoyment of the four days. Something to remember, Those who shoot to win often lose. Those who shoot for fun always win. Hammers Back,
