The 3rd annual Fall Classic for vintage double-gun competition was held at Backwoods Quail Club near Andrews. Shooting sports enthusiast from around the country gathered for a three-day celebration of the double-barreled shotgun, including a serious competition for Top Gun. Organizer Rick Hemingway said, "This event is growing and we already have two large tents of gun and outdoor lifestyle exhibitors that come here to support the Side X Side Classic." There is also a sister event in the Spring that is run by Bill Kempffer at his Deep River facility in Sanford, North Carolina. Beautiful weather over the weekend aided the shooting competition as well as the sporting banquet on Saturday night. It's great to see classic American-made double guns like Fox, Ithaca, Lefever, Parker, L.C. Smith, Remington and Winchester being held up as standards among sportsmen.
