Lady with Parker Single Barell Trap
 

These pictures were taken at Radium Springs, Albany Ga., in 1955 or so. It must have been A state tournament , there are a lot of people with ATA Patches. The lady third from left has a Parker single barell trap gun. During this period of time a lot of women were Trap shooters.

PDD

a fine looking group they are...and such a good number of them...and that one lady looks like shes shooting a gun a few sizes to big for her..ha fine pictures they are.... thanks for them charlie

The guy third from the right is Fred Missildine, the pro at the Sea Island Gun Club. I could probably figure out a couple more, but not off the top of my head. The lady to Fred's left may be Evelyn Primm. I am fairly sure it is she because she is sporting a Sports Afield All-American patch. They are great pictures.

one more picture, These pictures were found in the trash at the New location of now Called flint Skeet and Trap in 1964. They were kept in a file in the home of John Hogg a locol retired DA of Dougherty County, Albany Ga.

Sorry, I don't recognize any of those folks, who seem to be local members of the club.

Sorry Bill. Thought I moved it.
Senior moment

Bob, nice picture but wrong thread.

I have Fred Missildine's little book on Better Trapshooting. It was published back in the '70s by Winchester Press. Great little book. He's pictured on the cover shooting in white bucks with breton red slacks. Vintager in his own way. Love those pictures. None of the trap guns being used look like a space gun or some other alien contraption.

What I was amazed about was all the silver Trophy's and the number of Women Trap shooters in 1955, around Albany and the State of Ga. Flint Skeet and trap in Albany moved from the original site in 1964.
The now location is a paid for site with a club house, 4 trap ranges , a 5 stand with 8 machines, 5 skeet fields, and approximately 80 acres and now less than 60 members. If the membership gets down to nothing the area is to be sold and the money donated to charity around Albany, Ga. But who is going to want it with all the lead.

The lady, 3rd from the left in the first picture looks to be holding an Ithaca not a Parker.

What do others think?
