2008
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Welcome to the 12th
Annual World Side-by-Side Championships and Exhibition!
These festivities will take
place at the Pintail Point Shooting Club in
There are a few changes this
year that may have an effect on you and your participation. The most significant being that most of the
Side Event courses will be open on Thursday as well as on Friday and Saturday. More opportunity to shoot more guns... On Thursday you will be squadded,
since, at this time, we do not know the extent of participation on that
day. On each of these days, shooting
should be completed by 5 PM.
The Fox Gun Collectors have a
concurrent in which trophies and memberships will be given as prizes in the
American Classics Event for people shooting Fox guns. Stop by their booth for all the pertinent
information.
This year, as last, SYC
Sporting Adventures will be providing a dove hunt drawn from all those
participating in the 20 Bore Event and Hlathini
Safaris will again be donating a Cape buffalo hunt to be drawn from the rifle
shooters.
This year B&P ammunition
will be supplying 2 boxes of 28ga shells for that side event.
Another slight change will be
the European start for Sunday’s Main Event.
That is, you must be on the course by 11 AM and finish no later than
2:30 PM.
All-in-all there have been some wonderful additions to the already
superlative Vintage Cup, World Side-by-Side Championships. Again we sincerely hope you can join us for
the camaraderie, fine friends, great guns and friendly competition that have
been the hallmark of the Vintage Cup.
Remember, “In the spirit…”
Hammers Back,
Ray Poudrier
President, Order of Edwardian

rather benign

So as not to dominate, single shot Stalking Rifles will compete for the
Alex Henry Cup
Shooting to take place over two days. 16 shots/day for a total of 32 shots for the match. There will be enough time to shoot both
