Just back from the Worlds In Ocean City Maryland. Great time with good friends. didn't come close to winning the rig but a few people said they were the best birds I have ever done. the rig floated well despite me painting for bright conditions and balancing for the normally rough conditions with waves and wind in Assawoman Bay (Chesepeake). It was dull and almost as calm as glass that day!

The Shooting Rig on the table in Ocean City Maryland April 2007 (those clam shell anchors were tough to pour in lead and each anchor is color coordinated to the bird it is attached to)
