Headed for the Grand

[John Davis]

Leaving out Tuesday for Missouri and the Grand American. Will be meeting up with Bruce Day and Mike Franzen. I will be Bowana Franzen's gun bearer. We'll be shooting our Parkers and turning heads. If any other PGCA folks are in attendance, give us call a and maybe we can gather up for a visit. 229-938-6085

[Daryl Corona]

Good luck John.

[Harry Neil]

Super cool....and with that number of shooters, play the options....

[Mike Franzen]

Call John if you can help carry my chair or if you have experience fanning.

[John Davis]

So you went from Bowana to Pharaoh. Nice.

[Dean Romig]

John, with your exemplary shooting skill I know you'll represent yourself and the Parker Gun very well!

Good shooting John!!

Best of luck to Mr Davis and Emperor Franzen.:)

[John Davis]

Emperor Franzen. Has a nice ring to it.

[John Davis]

Dean, not too worried about me. Just don't want to embarrass the Parker.

[Jim DiSpagno]

John, good luck and good shooting. You would never embarrass aParker with your skill and with “The Grand High Majestic Emperor Franzen” to ward off evil birds it should be a fine event. Safe travels.

[CraigThompson]

John , I would offer you luck but a fellow with your skill doesn’t need luck ! Do well as I’m quite certain you will !

[John Davis]

We’ve had a great couple of days at the Grand. Shot in the Singles championship on Thursday. These were Mike Franzen’s first ATA registered targets and he got his first 25 straight and a patch to show for it. Mike was shooting his GHE and I shot my SB. I shot the Doubles championship yesterday and gave my GHE a little exercise. We shoot the Handicap championship today, Mike with his GHE and me with my SA. Maybe lightening will strike.

[Dean Romig]

You both know that if you break one target you can break every single one... and you both know it’s a mind game.

Best of mental powers to you both!!

[Bruce Day]

Fun times at the Grand . But first a fly over in the Grumman .

But we were not really vertical or inverted in the aircraft.

[Bruce Day]

Between airplane flights , boat rides and shooting antique shotguns in a world of high tech space tech trap guns , there was time for libation and relaxation.

[John Davis]

Finished up today and we had a wonderful time. I’ll let Franzen post his scores for the week but I will say he did great. I shot 195/200 in the Singles championship shooting my SB. I shot an 86/100 in the Doubles championship with my GHE. And I shot 91/100 in the Handicap championship with my SA. I was pleased and the Parkers out shot a whole bunch of 21st Century space guns.

[Chuck Bishop]

Good shooting guys. I see a junior shooter broke 400 x 400 in the championship events. That's 200 x 200 in the singles, 100 x 100 in doubles, and 100 x 100 in handicap. Never been done in the history of the Grand American. I hope he played all the options.

[Mike Franzen]

This was my first trapshooting event so I really didn’t have many expectations except to have fun and break every target. I accomplished the former easily enough but not the latter. I shot about 175/200 in singles and 89/100 in handicap from the 20. Mr. Davis is the man when it comes to Not just shooting Parker guns but being a true competitor. Bruce Day is the consummate host providing plane rides, boat excursions, swimming, fishing, Parker gun display, Parker lore and much more. Needless to say It’s been a great time!

[John Davis]

Bruce was an incredible host

[Brett Hoop]

Good shooting guys. I see a junior shooter broke 400 x 400 in the championship events. That's 200 x 200 in the singles, 100 x 100 in doubles, and 100 x 100 in handicap. Never been done in the history of the Grand American. I hope he played all the options.

WOW!

[John Davis]

Well we didn’t out shoot that space age gun.😮

[Brett Hoop]

Well we didn’t out shoot that space age gun.😮

Mr Davis

I’d say you fellas did the Parker gun proud!
