Way to go John!!

That’s the way to go John. Congrats

I can just hear all those young whipper snappers going "That guy was shooting one of those new Parker Guns. Who sells them?"

Well done John!

Is the tall fella in the middle kin? :)

Kimbel would have been impressed.

Great shooting!

Nice shooting Gaucho.

Congrats John, great shooting. :bowdown:

CONGRATULATIONS John! You did Parker proud!! 🤗

Thanks everyone. I got lucky. I did get some strange looks and had one guy ask me if it was a German made gun.

Some pictures from the Grand.

Love the picture of Fred Gilbert! Spirit Lake has two other members of the trap shooting Hall of Fame- Johnny Jahn and Bob Allen. Allen lived just across the lake from me. He was killed in a tragic automobile accident a number of years ago.

197 should be enough for a place in B class. How about that, John? The new museum is very nice. The tag on the Sousa Ithaca contains the correct, although abbreviated, information.

My guess is that John was shooting penality A class. He needed a 200 x 200 to be in a shootoff for either champion or class A champion. Class B was also a couple of 200 x 200's, Class C was 198 x 200, and Class D was 195 x 200. I'm surprised high in Class D was only a 195. Lots of sandbaggers out there.

We're not worthy!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

Unfortunately I was in A class, so I needed 200 straight to get into the shoot off. Maybe next year.

A class was 94.75% or higher for your last 1000 registered targets. I had a 94.8% average.
