Tribute to Tom Knapp
[September 30, 1950 – April 26, 2013]
The last shooting record at El Cortijo was taken place on the 04/12/2011 by hunter Shawn Russell from Canada, with a total of 4,751 doves in just one day. On the 23/02/2014, after more than two years, Mr. Martin Papworth from the UK, broke that record by shooting 5,080 doves in one day, with 6,250 shots and an average of 82% effectiveness, making this a new challenge for only those fellow hunters who dare to try.
Last month at El Cortijo we had visitors from Louisiana, the group leader was Sam Kenton Landers and he was joined by family and friends: Robert Steve Lyon, Kevin James Labauve, William Dupuy, Benjamin Landers and Richard Calisle.
Once again SYC Sporting will be present as exhibitor at the Dallas Safari Club convention for hunters. We want to be closer to our fellow hunters and bring them all the information about dove hunting in Argentina.
At El Cortijo dove hunting lodge we recently had visitors from Texas. These experienced dove hunters were lead by Keith Carpenter and really enjoyed their stay at our lodge. The group members are: Keith Carpenter, William Carpenter, Kurt Carpenter, Fred Pyle, Darryl Mattern and Sean Nimmo. This was the sixth time dove hunting in Argentina for this group of hunters.
