At least we are getting some positive press. Thanks for sharing Mike.
One of the writers for the Shooting Sportsman told a group of us that he would never write about Parkers, because his readers knew more than he did. |

Obviously the author isn’t an expert on Parker guns or history but i thought it was nice to see a positive article about the guns and the PGCA. If the author happens to see this post let me say Thank You on behalf of the PGCA.

Kudos to the author, Joel Penkala. The minor editorial points aside, we have had discussions regarding the growth of our association, and collecting in general. We'll, here it is, boyos. Someone from outside the club writing about our subject gun, and our association.
I vote we give him the first year membership, and invite him to write an article for "The Pages". |
