Hello from Raleigh, NC

Forrest · 02-27-2024, 11:57 AM

Hello everyone, I am fairly new to Parker's and came across this great forum and association on the internet and am grateful I found it! My grandfather has passed down his collection of Parker's to my brother and I over Christmas and it created a fascinating new hobby for me. I plan on enjoying these shotguns as much as my Grandfather has. I enjoy partaking in fly fishing and hunting in my free time. I will also be attending the upcoming Southern side by side classic held in Sanford, and look forward to meeting you fellows! I also look forward to becoming a PGCA member soon, and continuing to learn from such knowledgeable individuals!

Welcome Forrest! Make sure to set your calendar for the last weekend in April for the Spring Southern SXS. It is the best place to meet people in this group in person.

Thank you Mills, can't wait!

Welcome to the best double gun site there is! There is a wealth of knowledge and kindness to be found here! By all means join the PGCA!

Thank you Reggie, went ahead and did it!

Welcome to the club! Since you are going to the Southern in April you should also plan to attend the PGCA Annual Meeting. It is a banquet, gun show, silent auction and award ceremony all rolled into one. Tickets must be purchased in advance. It’s fun to put faces to names and this is a great event to do that.

Forrest, welcome to Parker Universe!! If you don't learn a lot and have fun here, it's your own fault!!

BTW, Friday at the Spring Southern is Hawaiian Shirt Friday. All the cool Parker shooters wear them.

I thought every day was Hawaiian shirt day for you. We'll have to bring our Rock Mountain Jimmy Buffett Memorial Hats

Thank you Mike for the heads up regarding the annual meeting. I will be sure to purchase a ticket to attend when the information is provided. It sounds like a blast! Exited to meet all of you!
