Fox Collectors

Sincere thanks to every member that put a SF on display.

Is that a Wildfowl with capped pistol grip and beavertail in the lower photo?

Yes owned by Brett Farley, extremely nice example. Plus we had a C-HE 20ga, a HE 20ga 32" and the very nice group of 12's including two C-HE's. All the gun on display were very nice guns many with special features.
It was so great to have the membership pitch in this weekend in a big way. We had many helping hands that made for a very smooth event. Our Association only survives if everyone helps, many hands make light work. Thanks!

I had never seen a Super Fox in person so this display was educational. Thanks to all who displayed.

I can't tell for sure from the photos ...... how many SFs were there together, total? Fifteen, including the Wildfowl?

Stan, I could be wrong, but I believe there were 13 in total. That included the Wildfowl.

It was really a treat to see so many Super Foxes in one place!! A straight grip gun, two 20 gauges as Craig said including the CHE 20 and very nice examples of 12 gauge guns! Well done by all who shared their guns! Very educational!! Brett

Just wondering how many of the 13 Supers competed at the Bo-Whoop namesake event? Fred Verry who took the B-W Trophy was of course shooting a Fox and he tied with a LC Smith Long Range fielded by Ron who had the long run. Does anyone know if Fred's Fox was a Super, or what was it? frank

Dave, that is the second Wildfowl w/Beavertail that I’ve owned. This gun is SN 35282. Letters correctly to the card w/BT, twin ivories and pad. The other BT Wildfowl I had was in the 134xxx range of late guns.

Frank - I shot the CHE 20 in the Baby whoop - I have not seen results? Are they published somewhere?

There could be a higher percentage of Wildfowls with beavertail forearms than any other Fox model. Of the fifteen Wildfowls I've recorded, five have beavertail forearms.

Mark, it was good to see and talk with you at HH, and good deal
on shooting your CHE Super 20. What a gun! The only results I’ve seen are published in the AHFCA Events Forum in the thread titled “2023 Results” or something like that. The winner of the Babywhoop was Mike Koneski using a Syracuse Lefever 20b. I don’t know if there were 2nd or 3rd place honors.

I believe 4 of the Supers on display got shot for score, Mark's 20ga C-HE, Fred Verry, the Harvey Donaldson gun (not the Fox he used to win the BW), Jeff Stegmeier and me. Mark scored a 7 in the Baby-Whoop and placed third with a $13.00 payout. I shot a 4 with my 32"Straight grip HE and placed third with a $20.00 payout. It was all big fun and very challenging targets. Three other of the SF's on display belonged to my duck club buddies, but they never shoot targets for score. Bill Jolliff and Brett Farley shot their SF's I believe but not for score. Best I can recall but I was not at the BW station every minute of the event.
Does anyone know who displayed the Straight Grip Super with the high gun recoil pad?
