Mills did a fantastic job running things and as team captain. Well done buddy.

Smith won the hammer gun event today by three targets. They had a clean sweep of us this weekend. They won the 16 ga event ,the 8 bore event, the challenge cup, and the hammergun event.

Despite the outcomes this was a phenomenal weekend. The collectors associations events and the southern continue to grow and get better and better every year.

Imo the success is do to the effort and tenacity of the men and women of the PGCA and LCSCA who got things going. Thank you very much!!!!!!!

Our thanks to everyone who participates in this annual event, both behind the scenes as well as those who step to the line and shoot as well as they possibly can under the pressure of what is to be gained or lost.

Thanks to all!

Ok we lost but in most cases not by much. We just need a few more Parker shooters to break a couple more targets.
It seems like they had 2 shooters for everyone of us.
This needs to change.

And it is a great social event. I met a great guy named Buddy Marson who, after this weekend, feels like I have known him for years!!

Buddy's a terrific guy and a long-time member.

Smith also won the hammer gun event, but not by much. High shooter was Bryan Brady of Team Parker at 28 and he was high gun by several birds.

Bryan has been a Team Parker shooter for a few years now and he has always been an impressive shooter.

The first time I remember Bryan, he won the Oscar Gaddy Trophy with a Parker he had just purchased. Amazing.

There was a young fellow, 9 years old, shooting for the Smith team in the shootoff. I figured he would wilt under the pressure but I was wrong. This young fellow, sorry I don't know his name, was just outstanding! He was smoking targets with the best of them. Let's face it, the Smith team has more shooters shooting the qualifying rounds and more quality shooters than Parker right now. Those targets for the shootoff were tough targets to hit and it was fun to watch both teams compete.:bowdown:

Congratulations to Mal MacGregor for winning the Oscar Gaddy trophy!
