I know we'll have more 8g shooters at The Southern. I've been in contact with guys that procured the Big Bores in 2025 and they are looking forward to making them go BOOM!!

Mike that is great news! I will organize a 5 stand group shoot for $$$ on Firday and the PGCA 8ga Field Event with a high gun trophy shot on the sporting clay course open Friday and Saturday. Both 8ga events are open to all manufacturers but I believe the PGCA Trophy is the high gun shooting with a Parker??? I'm hoping LCS and Lefever are represented again this year. Big fun!!

Correct, the PGCA trophy is for HOA with a Parker gun and is combined score of 5-Stand and Field courses. Stan Hoover won it last year by 1 bird! Well struck Stan!

There’s one young feller that lives about 45 minutes from me that recently acquired a quite nice UK ex Bernie hammer 8 with a Jones underlever and I got the opportunity to handle it a bit last week . That gun felt very nice to me with slightly less drop (or so it seemed) then most of the 8 gauge Parker’s I’ve fondled .

"Bernie" is the late Bernie Liberati, who had the greatest eight gauge collection ever put together.
