Default John Davis Does It Again!

John Davis, shooting his beloved Parker Bros SA Single Barrel Trap Gun has once again won the Georgia State Championship in Singles competition. The antique gun, nearly 100 years old, broke 199 out of 200 targets serving her master well. The PGCA congratulates your outstanding accomplishment.

I’m in awe at John’s accomplishments. Congratulations to him…and thanks, Mike, for letting us know of his win.

First, congratulations Team Parker. You guys are amazing.

The Parker SA really pulled her weight during this tournament. She started off in Thursday's Preliminary Singles event with a 99x100. Then in Friday's Singles Class Championship, she ran a 98x100. That was capped off today with the 199x200 in the State Singles Championship. She is an incredible gun. She ran the first 100 and then I dropped the third bird on the second post in the first box of the second 100 (that's a mouth full). But she managed to pull me through and run the remaining 92 birds. It was exhausting.
