Anybody want to shoot some Parkers in Georgia?
 
Hey everyone,

Not sure if this is the correct forum so, mods, please move if it should go somewhere else.

I am new to the forum (about a week) and was talking to another member yesterday about getting together and doing some shooting at Cherokee Rose in Griffin, GA.

I got to thinking that since I am trying to get a crash course in Parkers before I buy my first, that I would open it up to anyone that is near enough to come shoot with us. Selfishly, I hope that you would bring one or two (or a dozen) of your favorite parkers so that I could get a good hands on look at them as you shoot. It would also be great to meet some of the nearby members.

I was thinking one Saturday or Sunday in March but am very flexible. Let's start with just a reply that says you would be interested and then we can agree on some details once we see who all replies. From my perspective, the more the merrier. So far every single person that has replied to one of my threads or PM'd me on the site has been exceptionally kind and friendly so I think it would be fun to get together, meet in person and try to break some clays. (if I hit more than 1 I will be happy if that helps you with my "experience" level)

What portion of goerga is griffin in. I might be interested if I don't have to drive 3 hours to get there. Would this be on a clays course or just some sort of informal type thing. Let me know what your thinking.

Griffin is south of the Atlanta airport maybe 20-30 minutes towards Macon. The range is Cherokee Rose. They have trap, 5 stand and clays and I am open to shooting anything. I have done mainly trap and skeet in the past but have always wanted to try some clays. I hope you are close enough to consider it.

I am in Lagrange Ga. Apparently I am not to far from you. This sounds like an interesting idea. There are several other members that live in Georgia. Mills Morison lives in Savanna and their is one up in the northern part of the state. I am going to have to get out a map and see were Griffin is.

Think Nascar track and it will put you pretty close.

Hopefully all the others will start chiming in as well soon.

I am about 2 hours from LaGrange. My son is in college in Albany and I almost go through LaGrange every time I visit. I have eaten at the Cracker Barrel at the LaGrange exit many times.

I would certainly be interested in shooting. Field trial season will be over for me in two weeks so keep me in the loop.

Jeff if you want to see a lot of Parkers please consider coming to the Southern SXS shoot the end of April. It's in NC so it's not far compared to the distances some of us travel.

John what breed of dogs are you field trailing?

We might be able to swing it too. We have been talking about getting out of town for a weekend.

Unfortunately...I coach track and that weekend is the sectional track meet...I was planning to come before I checked the dates.

wayne goerres 02-23-2014 04:17 PM

Jeff my time is pretty open and I would be interested in meeting you and maybe doing a little shooting.
