Who's Coming to the Southern???
 

I'm Going!

There has not been much talk on the BBS regarding this shoot. Those of you who have been, know what a really good time we have there. I would like to get some discussion going and get our new members interested in attending this shoot. If you have never been before check out the link below (check out the Southern SxS on the menu Tab) to see what is going on. There reportedly will be a bunch of vendors in the tents this year! Plenty of opportunities to shoot and socialize and meet some of the greatest folks there are who are interested on our particular disease "Parkeritis".

We need to get some participation going here. All you Parker Repro guys - you know who you are (Marvin). Come on up and we'll find you an original for you to shoot in the Challenge Cup. You can shoot the repros in the other events and I'm sure there will be a bunch of repros for sale in the tents. You might even latch onto a really good deal on an original gun.

Gotta get some shooters out there if we're going to thump them Elsie guys!

If anyone has picture of the previous year's Challenges, please post them up for others to see.

See you all there,
Carl.

I certainly would like to make it to the Southern one of these years, unfortunately it won't be this year.:crying: However, a part of me will be there, Wisconsin engraver Bob Stosin will have a table and is taking my A.H. Fox 20-ga. 30" Ejector Sterlingworth Special, he'll have my gun and other examples showcasing his craft. Good luck to all the Parker shooters!

Hi Carl,
As you know I will be there once again trying hard to help team Parker. For anyone who has never attended this event I believe there are more Parkers for sale at the Southern than any other event on the east coast. Safe travels and hope to see you all there.

I look forwardto seeing you; I'll be arriving Wednesday evening.

Again, I will miss seeing everyone. As a word of encouragement to those that have not been, I must say the people I met that are members of the PGCA as well as most everyone else that I met at the Southern were nothing less than wondeful. If that is not enough to attend, the Southern has the most beautiful guns you will most likely ever see in your lifetime. Boys, even what guns you will see at the hotel will make you drool with envy. I still can' get over Mark Conrads little 20 gauge hammered Parker with fluid steel barrels and if I remember correctly it is a D grade. Plus having an opportunity to shoot with these fine gentlemen let me know that I was not God's gift to SXS shooters. What sportsmen...

Carl,
Thanks for your earlier enccouragement, I plan to be there with my Parkers. I doubt if I shoot, as I just don't know much about those ranges. I look forward to meeting some of you fellows, seeing some Parker guns, and watching the shoot. I really am looking forward to it.

I'm with you Harry. I'll miss it again this year too. For those who have not yet attended the Southern... get there somehow. It is a wonderful social and shooting event and yes, there are more fine parkers for sale to keep you salivating for weeks to come. And like Harry said... even in the hotel rooms...

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. I plan on arriving mid afternoon Thursday.

2007 Team Parker and Team Elsie. As you can see, Team Parker is a highly organized outfit.
