We hope that you can join us once again for our 4th annual vintage Shoot promoting the use of side-by-side shotguns in their many forms – as well as other traditional designs dating from the late 18- to early 1900’s.

We’re also hoping you won’t mind our somewhat condensed, cost-saving ‘mailer’ this year now that you know where to find all of our Shoot information on the Web. Accordingly, those of you with friends wishing to attend for the first time, should advise them to visit our link, or call us at their earliest convenience so that we may get our pre-registration information out to them also… (406) 821-3813. As with all previous shoots, ‘priority’ status for vacancies will be given to those wishing to enter with ‘vintage’ guns - as opposed to the more modern designs. The definition of what constitutes ‘vintage’ is found in our Shoot rules section.

It’s also important to remember our ‘first come, first served’ policy is still in effect this year, and we are asking shooters to pre-register for any of the weekend’s scheduled events as early as possible in to order to secure their slot(s) and squadding preferences.

Further, any fees collected from an individual who must subsequently cancel will be ‘refunded in full’ IF that is done 30 days prior to our shoot date of May 17th. A cancellation made less than 30 days prior will result in a 50% refund, with all fees being forfeited for cancellations made after May 12th.

Saturday, ‘Earlybird Black-Powder Warm-Up’, $30.00 entry.

PUMP GUNNERS!!  Please taken notice that the Rules Committee has recently decided to change the vintage year cut-off (previously 1941) to '1950'.
 
The reason for the change is to include both the Remington M11-48, a long-recoil-action semi-auto, and the venerable Remington Model 870 that initially came out in 1950.  Please note that this does not include the Remington 870 "Express" guns first issued in 1987.  Those wishing to use either Remington models 11-48 or standard 870, may now do so for our 2008 Shoot provided the gun still complies with Rules 2 & 3.
