I had no idea my previous post would generate PM's but just to let you know the DGJ's have been taken. FYI - the years were 2003 - 2006.

As far as the weather is concerned.... We Don't Care. We've shot in far, far worse at this annual event.




.

Well the 8th annual Parker Gun New Years Day shoot is in the books. We had great weather, sunny skies, light winds and 40 degree temperature. We had 20 Parker gunners in attendance who shot skeet, trap, a 10ga backing up a 12ga 27 yard Protection and an Annie Oakley aka Elimination from the 27 yard line. We also had a TON of food, donuts, cupcakes, Lasagna, Venison Chili and Venison Stew plus cold cuts, cheese for sandwiches.

The winning two man team in the Protection was Rick Weik and Bob Weeman. In the elimination the last three men standing were Larry Frey, Bob Fabian and Allan McClane, the club was nearly out of birds by the time Larry Frey took out Bob Fabian for the win.

Frank Cronin treated everyone to some tinnitus shooting his 5 Frame Hammer 10ga with Blackpowder loads.

Happy 2017!!!

Cool video Pete!

I am still reveling in what a great outing it was. Thank you Pete L. and Scott K. for organizing this event.
Unexpected high-lights for me were holding (and beholding) a B-Grade lifter (thank you, Robin L.; and shooting a 28 Gauge Parker (thank you Dean. R.).
There truly is life (outdoor fun; edifying passions indulged; the Parker mystique; camaraderie) in the "effete" Northeast, in "dead" of Winter.
