The Parker gun, Old Reliable, takes top honors in the 2021 Georgia State Singles Championship. Parker Bros. SB, serial no. 241027, wins the State Singles Championship with a score of 195x200. Other awards garnered by the Parker gun during the State meet were Sub Veteran Handicap Champion and High Overall Class A Champion. The Parker gun, still proving to be America's best.

I know you want to give credit to The Parker Gun, and it is well deserving of the accolades but you, John, are the true champion!!

Looks like in this case it's the Indian not the arrow. Nice shooting my friend. Maybe now you can quit your day job and pick up the sponsorship of those Parker guys and make some real money.:bowdown:

Now all you have to do to complete your sweep of the SBT awards John is to win the WC Lettermann cup at Hausmann's in June. I know you are capable but will the Parker SBT hold out against the fabled Fox SBT? We are waiting to find out.

John at the risk of being nosey what was your total for the three championship events ?

John Davis

877x1000. Not to make excuses but the wind made it really tough for everybody. However, what really hurt me was my Doubles scores. I'm still struggling to figure that game out. But I'm working on it.

BTW, I dropped 13 out of 400 in Singles. And they were all my fault. The SB would have broke them if I'd done my part.

Congratulations! I’ve shot a lot of ATA. 195/200 is fine shooting. Grinding through those 200 targets while maintaining focus is no easy feat. Great shooting!

You’re writing trap shooting history just like the great gunners of yesterday. Fred Kimble would be proud. It’s truly amazing what you and your Parker’s have accomplished in such a short period of time.

I sure hope they interviewed you for Trap and Field magazine. It's a unique story.

There was a brief interview about the gun. Date of manufacture, grade, etc. I doubt we’ll see much, if anything, about it in T&F.
