Doc. Truitt is celebrating a 97 out if 100 for the top spot. This win is in the doubles category.

Congratulations Doc Truitt! Fantastic shooting!!

Huge Kudos to you Dr. John Truitt!!




.

Way to go Doc.

What gun did he shoot?

Yes, what gun does he shoot, but also, I'm curious about what's his secret to success. He is most often at or near the top of the leader board most of the time. Very consistent!!!

PRACTICE AND FOCUS!!

Congrats John, well done!!

Yep!

Doctor Truitt spends a great deal of time designing and fitting his great guns. Of course, he shoots a few targets in between making outstanding long barrel guns. Anyone who has a chance should watch him shoot.

I'll second "Practice and Focus." Lot's of it. And the Parker gun don't hurt none.

A long barreled Parker won the B class at the Open as well.
Hehehe

I would like to hear more details about Dr. Truitt's performance and his Parker. I would also like to hear more about the B Class winner and his Parker.

I talked with Dr. Alan Speer today he told me he won I believe he said the Veteran concurrent in the SxS event as well . And he was shooting a Parker of course .

John Truitt shot the entire open very well. He was a strong contender in the main event. If I'm not mistaken his Parker is a Jim Greenwood stocked gun. Looked like it anyway when I saw it at the SxS event there in October.

My Parker I shot in B class is a 32" DHE. I shot an 80 which was strong enough for the B class win, but I left several "O"s on the score card that I shouldn't have. The SxS course was very challenging compared to alot of SxS events. I think it was a 13 station course with LOTS of true pairs. At least 8 or 9.

Congratulations John Reed! Let's see some pictures of your DHE and the bling.

A hundred years later and the Parkers are still doing what they were made to do.

Dr Truitt was top 10 200 target main event 1400 entry’s. Think his score was 6 or so under the leader. Look at results the few that shot higher are full time competitors.

That tournament had some very difficult targets. Anyone who shot it will definitely remember them years to come.

Where was this tournament held?

Backwoods Quail Club

Courses were set by some of the best target setters in the country. One Fitasc target was a crosser over a lake that was just a bit over 100 yards. Definitely a hail Mary shot, but made it interesting.

I worked the "Welcome 100" course and the "Preliminary" course where I saw John and he was shooting an over and under. There was a separate course for the side by side I believe.

Yes the SxS was shot on the subgauge course across the road.
