Drew,
Here are 3 images from an original photo showing Parker shooter Frank Parmalee (at-far-left) as part of a 5-man squad that equaled a world record in 1899... On Frank's immediate left is another shooting legend I'm sure you will recognize, Charles (Sparrow) Young... Not sure if Frank is the same person as the likeness shooting the 28-yd line on the Parker trade card, but he does bare a resemblance... One of the reports related to this old shooting photo read as follows:
"May 4-1899-Lincoln, Neb.--The world's record for a squad of five men, shooting at 20 targets each, made at Peru, Ind., May 3, was equaled by a squad at the Nebraska State shoot by the 5 man team of George Rogers, Lincoln, Neb.; A. B. Daniels, Denver, Col.; W. S. Duer, Hastings, Neb.; C. A. Young, Springfield, O., and F. S. Parmelee, Omaha, Neb. made a world's record of 100 straight."
Best, CSL
