Default Hello from SW Pennsylvania

I am just starting the journey into Parker side by sides. I currently don't own a Parker but am actively looking into starting my collection. I look forward to the amount of information and knowledge that can be gained from this forum.

Thanks for allowing me to join.

Our quarterly “newsletter” (actually a 48-page full-color glossy magazine) can be an incredible source of information.
Now that you are a bona-fide PGCA member you can purchase our “Parker Pages Digital Archive” which contains every page of every issue from the very beginning,
in 1993, Vol. 1 Issue 1 through 2018. It is an incredible resource for $50 from Mike McKinney. - You will NOT be sorry.

Welcome!

If you would have stayed in the area Dean ,We would have made a Fine Hunting Duo ! My favorite of course being the Woodcock followed up by heading to the Hills for a Grouse ! When I was a Boy here we hunted Grouse on our own property and all through the Laurel Highlands in and around the Ligonier / Somerset area !Then they were plentiful but sad to say they have declined to the point where I hunt the Timberdoodle flights first and think about Grouse secondly ! But of course always with a Small Bore Parker !!!

Hey Curtis, good to have you on board, Fellows, I have met Curtis and he is a good guy. That VH 16 deal must not have worked out I guess.
