Sweet. Evidently it works well for upland birds.:) All joking aside, great job Brian. Really nice presentation. I will buy extra tickets.

[Brian Hornacek]

Randy this gun is fantastic to be honest, LOP is 14” with rear trigger position so feels like 14 5/8”, chokes are perfect all around and first time out helped me to a 49/50 in 2 rounds of skeet. One of the most natural pointing Parker’s I have had the pleasure of shooting!

[Andrew Sacco]

Oh my word, just what I'm looking for...

[Randy G Roberts]

AND a factory BTFE to compliment the package.

[Matthew Hanson]

I believe this is the year I win!! Yup that is just the gun I want!

But, but, but it's not a 38" 20g gun!!! New year, new focus?? :corn:

[Dean Romig]

I think it was about 2003 when I unabashedly made many, many similar proclamations all over this forum, and bought $100 worth of tickets, when the raffle gun was a beautiful CHE Double Trap with all the options....... and I won it!!


Keep a positive attitude!

BWAHAHAHAHA! Not at all Mike. Just broadening my horizons until the next long-legged Parker appears. :shock:

I kinda have a notion I want a 38 or 40 inch gun but it’s gotta be something with a bit more umph than a 12 or 20 .

[Mike Koneski]

Whew!! And here I thought you were slipping!! One more week to go buddy!! It'll be interesting to see what's at the show.

[Mills Morrison]

I have seen this gun and it is nice.

[ED J, MORGAN]

Got my 2 books 2 days ago/ Thanks .

[Tom Pellegrini]

I received my books yesterday and finally after all these years we are legal with a drawing date on the tickets. Thank you Brian.

[Andrew Sacco]

Can we place return address labels on it instead of handwriting? I know, dumb question, but I entered a drawing once and it wasn't allowed because the labels could gum up the works.

[Dean Romig]

I gave affixed address labels on my raffle gun tickets for years without a problem.

Yes sir, we are here to accommodate all participants!

[Andrew Sacco]

Ooooh baby I'm feeling LUCKY : )

[keavin nelson]

A pretty gun, definitely need more tickets!!!!! So Dean, does a $100 do it every time???:rolleyes::rotf:

[Mills Morrison]

Go to Pheasant Fest and buy as many tickets as Dean bought when he won, then you should be covered

[Dean Romig]

So Dean, does a $100 do it every time???:rolleyes::rotf:


I'll tell ya Keavin, it has worked every single time I bought $100 of tickets... every time!!

Just write "EDITOR" on the stub, that'll be fine.:rotf:

Well I had a friend, at the dinner/raffle held at Pintail Point, bought a book of tickets 10 min before the raffle and won. Sometimes you just fall in it.

[Matt Buckley]

I received my tickets in the mail Thursday and I have them filled out and back in the mail box. I hope getting them in early won't mean they stay at the bottom of the barrel when it comes time to pull my winning ticket out. I wouldn't want anybody to strain a muscle digging down into the barrel that far for my winning ticket.

You have to be in it to win it! As we say to guys who complain that they never win, "How many tickets did you buy?" The usual answer is "All I need is one." Well, A) that's cheap and B) your odds stink!! :rotf:

[Brian Hornacek]

The mail is starting to come in. Do not put you raffle tickets on the to do list under the stack of bills. No time like the present to return those tickets supporting this fine organization.

All the best to my Parker friends.

[todd allen]

I believe this is the year I win!! Yup that is just the gun I want!
Sorry. I don't think I'm gonna sell this one
