I have a room reserved at Syracuse for myself and Bob Egbert so we should both be there.

I already have a room reserved and Bill Boswell is rooming with me again this year. I'll get a reservation check in the mail to Larry.

Please count me in, Stack, the lone Canuck from the (still) Great White North. I'll bring some Scots libation, have'nt found a Canadian whiskey worthy of the group. They make it from corn, how awful.
Have a radar detector, those are legal in those states I drive through, no?
Looking forward to the ribbing, I'll bring a Perazzi Skeet gun, just to stir it up.

KGB got away with a Perazzi target gun last year. Nobody gave him any crap because it is a 16 gauge. :D

Mike it's really too bad you canucks make great beer and weak whiskey. Nothing inherently wrong with corn as the base grain. Glad you are coming. This should be a really great year.

Said Perazzi was pre-approved to avoid munchie penalty--I'm not that brave to take the chance. Besides, it's not a target gun....what target gun is fit with IC and IM chokes? None, I say! I'm cleared for another year...

IC/IM is a perfect set up for sporting clays.

I wonder what the Executive Committee will say about this?

Well, I guess I am serving notice that I will bring my Mirage skeet gun on the grounde that in 100 years time it will be a classic double!
In any event, no one is going to throw me off the grounds, are they? Or starve me?
My Scots Gow Joned underlever should balance it out anyway!.

Mike, there is absolutely no rule banning target guns!! There is, however, a rule requiring you be harassed mercilessly while you are shooting it. Hint: don't miss.

It depends....

That is an opinion. The fact is, SC guns are set up with choke tubes by popular demand. Ipsofacto (phonetics there), it's not a sporting clays gun, either.

Which EC? The Flatwater EC cleared it last year, and unless he's going to start demanding tribute I should be good for the future.

Not that I own such, but would an MX28 or MX410 be a target gun? I would love to be ridiculed for bringing one, if only one were mine to bring.

The exception isn't for the Pgun but the .250-3000AI.

Everything at Flatwater is exceptional.

AI has been trumped by a Ruger ultralight M77 in plain ol' .250 Sav. It even shot a 1.5" group of 3 for me within 5 test rounds using 100gr bullets. H4895 saved the day over W760, RL16, Varget, and H4350; it's been a month and I'm still happy. Now if only a 75gr load will finish the bracketing I'm going to be happy as all get out.

But, I'm not donating any steak.
