Attended a trap shoot at South River Gun Club in Covington, Ga., this past Saturday. Parker SAA upgrade, 34 inch barrel choked extra full, tied for champion in the handicap event with a 92x100 and picked up a one yard punch to the 26. Don’t leave those Parker SBT’s sitting in the vault gathering dust. Go out and break some targets with them. And make your friends jealous.

I suspect you’ll be at the back fence when you go to the Grand this year :cool:

Congratulations! You'll have to explain some things to me about trap shooting when I see you next. For someone who has only broken clays thrown by hand on the back forty, I'm still fascinated by the discipline and concentration involved (and those beautiful guns with some grand history).

Thanks for posting.

Nicely done John. In 100 years my great great grandchildren will be reading of your exploits in Parkers in Pulp. By then it will probably be digital pulp.:)

I ought to loan you the Fred Gilbert gun so it can break another record. Afraid it is not doing it with me.

Great shooting and a great gun as well. You might be the most famous Parker shooter of the 21st century.

There's a Master Class Sporting Clays shooter, by the name of Randy G. Roberts, who shoots a Parker(s) in national competition and he is certainly eligible for that title.:bowdown:

The 26 yard line is a far back as I made it. I have no doubt you'll get that extra yard. Great shooting John!

Trap shooting requires a very high level of focus and discipline!
Congrat's on the yardage gain!

Congratulations, John. By the way, your A grade upgrade looks better than my AA upgrade. Are you sure yours isn't a AA? Can't wait to hear about your progress to the back fence.

Bill, you are correct it is a AA upgrade.

No bling. Just money. And not a lot of that.

That is why I qualified my statement with “might”. Randy is up there too. So is the Doctor.

Great shooting John, I've shot trap many years, made it to the 27 twice, (after taken ATA's reductions). I located a Parker SBT awhile back, tried to buy it but the widow was firm at 5,000, I passed on it, an SC, I think, didn't get a chance to examine it in person. I didn't want to press her too hard as she felt all her late husband's guns were very valuable. Anyway, I've only seen one Parker SBT at a trap shoot, owned by a shooter in the Spokane, WA area. Perhaps I'll locate one some time. I do have 2 GHs, and a VH I shoot and hunt with and use at 16yrd and wobble trap from time to time. Jim Turnbull
