Default Outing March 1899

The Parker Gun, in the hands of Master Guy Grigsby, of Louisville, Ky. (the thirteen-year old wonder of the shooting world), is entitled to special mention. Master Guy won the Kentucky Futurity, a fifty live bird match, at the Kentucky Gun Club Grounds, November 24th, 1898, with 49 kills and one dead out of bounds. He killed 44 straight, losing his fifth bird dead out, hit hard with both barrels. He also won the Nelson County Fair Handicap, score, 14 out of 15. On November 15th, in another match, he killed 18 straight, all he shot at. On November 23d he won the Club gold button, killing 10 straight. Master Guy is small of his age, weighing seventy-five pounds, and has always shot the Parker Gun. He uses a 12 bore, 28-in. "Titanic Steel" barrel gun, weighing 7 1/2 pounds, and in the Futurity had a twenty five-yard handicap. He says the Parker Gun is correctly named the Old Reliable.
