Practice for the Northern - FOX RULES !

Post by Silvers »

So my shooting gang did the main course at Rock Mtn this morning. There were nine of us and we broke into squads of 4 and 5. It was fun and casual shooting for eight of my friends but I had my CE Fox “Matilda” out for the first time since Hausmann’s in June and was doing a serious warm-up for the Northern S x S and the Fox-Parker Challenge. She’s an Ansley era gun shipped in 1909, and her #2 set of barrels are 30-inchers with both choked “Full” at 36 points each. Long ago she'd been in the hands of a distinguished Fox shooter and nowadays there seems to be some magic in this gun.

Just to show what can be done when shooting against modern/trendy competition sporting clays guns. Here’s our scorecard with the old Fox Matilda at 88/100 and a tricked-out Benelli and Beretta, and a Perazzi at: 75, 84 and 80 respectively. FOX RULES!

I sure hope our other Fox guys and gals are out doing some practice. Only 4 weeks to the Northern S x S.

I expected no less from Matilda. Nice shooting.
Owning a Fox is not a spectator sport.
