6th Annual Southern RI Parker Shoot - 5/10 - A Weekend of Parkers?

[Jay Oliver]

Today was too much fun and flew by way too fast. Once again this was everything I hoped it would be…wonderful people, great shooting, lots of Parker talk and delicious food and some show tell. My son was able to join this shoot for the first time. That was a proud moment for me as well.

My wife cooked on the grill, I owe her one for that! Beverley and Clark once again made and brought the most amazing deserts. It is such a wonderful way to finish a morning of shooting. I think this always turns out so well because everyone contributes. From set up to packing vehicles everyone pitched in.

Some amazing guns to be seen today too. There was a Damascus AAHE on the course. Beverly was doing very well with her hammer 410. A nice mix of small bore hammerless and big bore hammer guns. I shot a few different guns, but was settling into my “new to me” #286 back action lifter quite nicely especially with black powder shells.

It was nice to see some familiar faces. Next year I hope to see more of you, I promise I will not schedule the shoot on Mothers Day! That was an honest mistake on my part and I look forward to finding a better day for this.

I appreciate everyone that made today so special!

Thank you and see you soon!
