6th Annual Southern RI Parker Shoot - 5/10 - A Weekend of Parkers?
 
Hello Everyone,

I am excited to keep this tradition going. This Parker shoot will be on Sunday May 10th at 9:30AM at Peace Dale Shooting Preserve in South Kingstown, Rhode Island: https://www.pdshootingpreserve.com

Last year this shoot came together like I had always hoped. We had several members travel to be a part of this, which was wonderful. We'll do the main sporting clays course and they have 5-stand for later if anyone is interested.
We will have a cookout after the shoot at the picnic area which has grills. I might aspire to going beyond burgers and dogs this year and get some help to make it easy. I think we have some amazing deserts on the way, but I will confirm. Another thing I would like to continue is a Parker display so there will be tables(this has been getting better every year!).

I would like to give them an estimate of the size of our group so please let me know if you can attend.

It is always so nice to see and meet PGCA members in person as well as new shooters. I have a few “new” Parkers to show off to some of you since last year, does anyone like hammer guns? Last year I let a few people shoot a Lifter for the first time with brass black powder shells and it was great to see their smiles.

Something separate that I will gauge interest on. Since my big event is on a Sunday, if anyone wants to come early and do a trip to Addieville (Another sporting clay place where Robin Hollow is located) on Saturday we could turn this into a weekend of Parkers! Let me know if this sounds like fun.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Looking forward to it!
Jay

Hi Jay,
Bev and I can bring desert for Sunday. ( I heard somebody likes Raspberry Cream.)
We will also have a few Parker beauties for the display table. (Bev loves her SBT.)
We'll try to make Addieville on Saturday, but may have to join up later in the afternoon.

PS
Thanks Jay for putting this all together!

I like how this is coming together. The kind of weekend where you shoot a case of shells :)

Keep letting me know and I will get a better idea on numbers and all we are going to do.

It's going to be fun!

Hi Jay, thank you for putting this together again. I will be there as will my buddy Steve. If there is something I can bring for the cookout please let me know. Maybe paper products or chips or drinks?
Really looking forward to it. I have a new hammer gun to show also.

Dorothy and I will both be going to the Addieville leg of the weekend. I’ll be bringing three Lifters with the beautiful Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels for show & tell.
We haven’t seen Bill and Robin for a long time so we’ll be looking them up while there.

Not sure if we’ll make the Peace Dale leg on Sunday.

Thanks Jay!

Hmmmm of all the states in the NE I think RI is the only one I’ve not set foot on or driven thru . Sadly it looks like I’ll be leaving for Colorado Springs that day or the day after .

Jay,
Thanks again for keeping this going. I will be back up north on the 5th and plan to attend at least the Sunday shoot and will let you know if I can make Saturday. Larry

Dean Romig 03-06-2026 05:33 PM

It will be terrific to see you Larry. I hope you bring your Sweetie with you.
