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:

That was Hunter Dew. He was 15 and was just amazing.

Great job Mills, this event continues to grow and new ideas will continue to make it a success. I really enjoyed seeing everyone and look forward to next year.

I have 3 short video's of the the 8 gauge event but they are too large to post. I'll mail them to J.D and he may be able to put them up.

And the guys kept on shooting....:shock:

Mills Morrison 04-25-2016 02:51 PM

The shooting went on. Some people dropped out, but others kept on.

PS: It wasn't raining, it was POURING!

Mills, hope you are getting some much deserved rest. You looked tired and rightfully so. Thank you, and all others that helped out in the Parker tent.
George, I met Buddy Marson also, and had the pleasure of shooting with him and David Dwyer all day Thursday. Not only is he a great shot, but maybe we should nickname him " The Virginia Gentleman". It was great to meet other names familiar to those on this site such as Mike Franzen, Bruce Day, and John Truitt--watched John break 49/50 during the Parker/Smith challenge, nice shooting.
I'm lucky enoughto be able to travel to both the Southern and the Northeastern, and looking forward to seeing many of you there.

I am slowly catching up. I got halfway home and Julia called to say one of the kids spray painted himself John Deere green. Things started with a bang
