Julia also suggested some blaze orange Parker hats, for those bird hunters among us.

"It didn't help..."???:shock: Strange statement...

Is Gary somehow obligated to display his guns in the tent?

I don't think that is what Brian meant.

What I meant was that Gary always has some nice guns to display. And he could not spend much time at the tent due to setting up an even more impressive display for the dinner.

But I thought that is what I said to start with.

Thanks Brian - I agree, Gary has some fantastic Parkers. I only wish I could have been there to see the guns at the Foundation event.

I think the lc Smith display was wonderful. Full disclosure I had a gun on display. They picked a theme and asked for member participation.

One thing LC Smith does really well is their displays. They had a waterfowl gun exhibit at one of the northern shows I wish I could have seen in person.

Gentlemen, Parkers will be on display at next years shoot at deep river, the good lord willing, I will see to that, what about a display of different gauges? or just high grade guns? sorry I did not want to bring those guns that were at the HOF banquet, out in the moisture in the tent, I had 20 guns on display at the dinner, thanks to Brian for a nice display at the shoot, Brian I will have a presence next year! Gary

Thanks Gary! How about you and I coordinate closer to the time? I am thinking less high grade/high value guns and more of an informative display. Early hammer guns . . . . Evolution of Grade 2 Parkers . . . . something like that.

Mills sounds like a plan to me! Gary
