Been wondering John, will there be anyone to memorialize you in 100 years in "Parkers in Pulp"?

I’m surprised no one’s written an article about John and his “old smokpoles” in the ATA magazine , or am I wrong and it’s already been done ?

No articles in Trap and Field. But I’m available for interviews.

Right John, you and Mike did a Parker Chronicles article before and it would be easy to do a “Davis Does Trap” story. Heck John, he could immortalize you!

The ATA target year ends August 31, so I’ve shot my last registered target for this season. All that’s left is to see if the Parkers accumulated enough points to make the All American team, and we probably won’t know that until the middle of September. It was a long campaign, 6 months, 7 state shoots and the Grand American. Over 9000 registered targets. Time for a break. The Parkers are still ready to go but this guy needs a rest.
