Reserve your spot to display your Parker in the Peoples's Choice Award

[Craig Larter]

This year’s Annual Meeting Banquet Theme is "Waterfowl Guns." Both hammer and hammerless models are welcome for display.

We will have a limited number of reserved spaces available to display guns. They will be reserved on a first come first served basis. Each gun that has a space reserved will be assigned a number and that number will reflect its table position at the banquet. I will give members displaying a gun their number as they enter the banquet facility.

The Annual banquet attendees will have the opportunity to pick "The People's Choice Award" which will be the gun that receives the most member votes. A second and third place award will also be given to the guns that receive the second and third most votes.

For additional details and to reserve space at this year’s Banquet for your special waterfowl Parker, please contact me through the PM system on this website, on email or telephone at:

We are looking forward to seeing many fine guns at this year’s banquet. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. Craig Larter

I have a 3 frame GH 12 and 4 frame E 10 gauge lifter. Will just put one in if someone else needs space.

[Dean Romig]

Unfortunately I just sold the one I was planning to put on display.

Strike while the iron is hot I say!

[Mills Morrison]

Limited space? How about a bigger table?:rolleyes:

[Dean Romig]

We usually have 6 banquet tables for the People’s Choice.

[Craig Larter]

We will have a minimum of 6 tables and a couple more if required.

[Mills Morrison]

Just kidding. Really looking forward to this display

[Mike Franzen]

I’ll post pictures of the prizes once I have the Cup in hand.

[Craig Larter]

Many display spaces still available, please bring out those waterfowl guns for all to enjoy!!

[Chuck Bishop]

Give me a definition of a waterfowl gun.

[Craig Larter]

A waterfowl gun can be just about any gun since personal preference plays a major role in gun selection, the same can be said for grouse gun, pheasant gun etc. Generally we think of waterfowl guns as being equipped with longer barrels, tighter chokes in the larger bore sizes. For the purposes of the display and People Choice Award at the annual meeting, if a gun fits your personal definition of a waterfowl gun that is good enough for me and we will give you a slot to display your Parker.

[Dean Romig]

Any Parker that may have been used primarily for waterfowl.
Could be a 20 gauge with 32” barrels and tight chokes - could be an 8 gauge that was shipped to Illinois. Grade matters not - gauge matters not, except that .410’s and 28’s won’t generally get the nod as a waterfowl gun.

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Amen brother!

[Craig Larter]

We only have 13 guns committed for display, we still have plenty of space available. Please remember you must reserve space(s) prior to the Annual Meeting.

[Mike Franzen]

Hey Craig I’ll take a spot.

[Craig Larter]

Only 14 guns committed for display so far we have plenty of room for your Parker waterfowl guns. A beautiful trophy for first place and awards for second and third places in the People Choice Award.

Craig,
I will bring my 10Ga 2 frame E along to include in the party!

[Dean Romig]

I will bring my 1899 DH 12 with 30” Titanic Steel barrels ordered by a Mr. Humswell in the next town south of Portland, ME on the marshy coast. It was ordered with F/F chokes. Not a prize-winning example but an example of a gunner’s gun none the less.

[Mills Morrison]

The two I plan to bring are not prize winning either, but are examples of the variety of waterfowl guns produced by Parker
