April 2010 Parker of the Month Contest..

[John Dunkle]

"Spring is springing, buds are budding and Parkers are popping....".. (?)

Well, you get the idea... ;)

It's time, once again - for the submitting pictures for the April 2010 Parker of the Month - all who are registered to the Parker Forums are encouraged to participate.. Until later this month (April, if my calendar is correct ;) ), please post your pictures in this thread (and only this thread!). I will close this thread on or about April 28th - and post a new POLL so folks can vote on their favorite "Parker of the Month". At the end of the poll - the winning picture will be shown here:

http://parkerguns.org and be reserved for the month of April 2010 when (if??) we do a Parker Calendar.

The Ground rules are simple.....

Please post up to FIVE of YOUR (sorry - they MUST BE YOUR PHOTOS!) pictures in this thread.

We encourage you to enter even if you only have one photo that you like, as folks will be looking for "that Parker Quailty" that defines "Why we do this", so that one photo could be a winning photo. Those my be of a Parker, hunting scene with a Parker, still-life or even an action shot.

Members may comment on the photo entries in the photo contest thread and leave nice comments about other images in the thread if you feel the urge to do so. BUT - please do not post any photos in this thread that are not intended to be entries. Pictures NOT posted as entries will be deleted from the thread.....

Good luck and have FUN!

John

[Asa Kelley]

Killed with 0 grade 12 gauge #2 frame 1875(#6328)hammer gun at 32 yards April 2, 2010.

[Dean Romig]

Asa, that was probably one of his first times looking for a hen. It looks like his primaries are hardly dragged off yet. Nice job! If I didn't know better I'd think he tripped over that blowdown and bumped his head on the ground - you show up with a gun and a camera.... :rolleyes:

[Fred Preston]

I like Asa's choice of gun. Here's my 132 year old PT 10 with its bird 4-21-08.

“Spring is springing, buds are budding and Parkers are popping”

Around my neck of the woods early April still looks like winter.
I tried to capture this picture as if it were taken in the early 1900’s.
Not sure if I accomplished that, but I tried.
The Parker GH was made in 1900; the old rotten stump may be close to the same age.

Mike,Very nice....A job well done..

[Dean Romig]

The annual shooting events are upon us with the Southern just days away - then Addieville East Farms in R.I. in May, the UP and Hausman's Hidden Hollow with the Vintager's and the PGCA Annual Meeting & Banquet and several venues in between. These events are just one more reason these Parkers were made. This was taken at Pintail Point last September.

Scott,
The gun on the left is my wifes AHE Damascus 12 gage and the one on the right is my AAH. The rest just appeared every time we had to move so I can't really help you there.

[Dave Suponski]

Scott,The center gun is my(Danny's?) DHE 28 Repro and the hammergun to the right of it is Bob Fabians New Years Day hammergun.The other two must be Dean's...

[Dean Romig]

2nd from left is my DH 12 and 3rd is Dave Purnell's hammer 12.

[Rich Anderson]

Larry glad to hear your building up that muscle tone in your arms, its been a long winter. I have Hausmanns narrowed down to about 6 guns:eek:

Heres an idea we shoot only one station with our own gun and shoot all the other ones with someones else's gun. A different gun at every station just to keep things interesting as you have been practiceing.

[Kent Nickerson]

Rembering that it is not winning or losing that matters, but just being in the game...here's a shot of my little V .....

[Larry Frey]

[Dave Suponski]

Thanks guy's...:rolleyes: And Mr Frey..In the picture I was lowering the gun AFTER the shot...:)

[Dean Romig]

No.... Dave was shooting backup "Miss and Out" and the guy he was backing up broke it.

[Dave Suponski]

:biglaugh::throw:

[Dean Romig]

Be afraid clay targets... be very afraid :draw:

[Dave Suponski]

Sooo..Who is that guy wearing your hat?

[Rich Anderson]

We ALL know that Dave can't keep wood on wood and the real truth to the matter is the bird came out of the house broken:duck:

[scott kittredge]

Sooo..Who is that guy wearing your hat?

now that's a good one! :rotf:

[calvin humburg]

I like the wood fence, do they make you sign it if you hit it? If you miss the bullet trap in my friends basement you sign the wall. ch

[Dean Romig]

Calvin, on the true double at that station the incomer disappears right behind the top of that fence. I, as well as many others have had to pull off rather than blowing an additional hole in it (you have to be very quick at that station).... a few others were obviously more intent on killing the bird than to let a little fence stop them.

[calvin humburg]

Yes, and you didn't shoot the fence. I just know with my friends if you shot the fence you would get a huge amount of ribbin for years. ch

[Gregory Miller]

Ladies with Parkers. I do believe the lady in the background with the blue hat and shirt is Paul Plunkett sneaking up on us.

[Dean Romig]

Lest we forget the formidable Deb Frey :clap:
