All trends start somewhere. This one’s epicenter is the Parker Gun Collector’s booth. We would love to have a new member owned by a Gordon join us there.

All the cool kids will be doing it.

Some of us Parker shooters began doing it about 5 years ago. It took off 2-3 years ago at various multi-day shoots. We really made it big at our July shoot at Rock Mountain where we had easily 20 or more shooters wearing Hawaiian shirts. Everyone who wore a Hawaiian shirt or bright bowling shirt got lei’d too!!

Just a post script here: Kirk did come by our booth and bring his beautiful Gordon. Thanks, Kirk! We enjoyed talking with you, and getting a chance to see your pup.

Yes I said that at the top of the thread and wish I could make it. I’m four days out from knee surgery so couldn’t manage it. That’s my buddy Bob who owns Thorn Plum. A totally likable guy who will join PGCA because I told him he had to and he’ll buy gun tickets. You will hit it off. Travel safe all going.

Thanks, I hope the raffle was a success in sales, and I surprised myself I wasn't ashamed to admit I'm too chicken to shoot damascus barrels. Just rolled out naturally when I heard myself saying it.

Not surprisingly, your display guns were gorgeous.
