A bit of fun from the Society of the American Side by Side Shotgun Spring Classic. This is the second year that I've issued the Axis Challenge to raise money for habitat. It's a 5 dollar gentleman's bet based on a number of scores throughout the days shooting. I was easily beaten by every taker of my challenge. I picked up the microphones after that and made my way around the clubhouse and campfire securing a number of street interviews with some of the participants.
