Vintage Cup/ Pintail Point
 
We had a great time this past weekend.
But it just wasnt the atmosphere as in the past years. I missed not having my Parker brothern there. Just wasnt the same without the PGCA and all of you guys/ gals.

Pintail is a great venue and in a favorable geographical location for events.

Ben Wise and his staff threw some outstanding targets. He and his staff did an excellent job of running things and managing the shoot.

Several Parker shooters did very well in many events.
Carl Brandt took home several trophies.
Dave Fjelline did as well.
Edward Blake won the high junior trophy in the main event.

you fellas that stuck out the rain andstuck to your guns are the hero s in my book...i commend all who attended

Mr. Cleveland,

We went up early Saturday am. We got a few drops on us that morning and then the rest of the weekend was clear and dry. We were very fortunate. Despite lower attendance, participation compared to years past it was a very enjoyable event.

I think the boys and ladies that were there Friday had to deal with alot of moisture.

Mr. Truitt you are very modest. I reviewed the score's and you sir shot very well also. Danny and I missed seeing you guy's but it sounds like a great time was had in spite of the rain. Congratulations to you all for representing the Parker Gun so well....well done. Also let me not forget to congratulate Young Ed Jr. on great shooting...a 70..very nice.

I believe the following to be accurate: (all shot with Parkers) :)
1. Carl Brandt:
Second place in Main Event
Runner Up in Prelim
16 ga hammerless Champion
2. Dave Fjelline:
First place in Main Event

3. Edward Blake:
High Junior in Main Event

Dr. Truitt's description of the situation is probably more accurate than the description given by those who had tables full of guns on display in the tents. As a shooter, I would have been quite pleased with the wet weather. You can only think about how unpleasant the conditions are for your competition.

Maybe Carl will post some pictures when he gets a chance.

Flurry Event
 
Dr. Truitt,
Did Parker Dave & Elsie Dan fare as well this year as last in the Flurry Event?
Thanks,
John

John Truitt 09-26-2011 02:08 PM

Mr. Liles, (since we are being offical)/ (whats that all about?),

Dave and Dan did win the team event in the flurry, but some other dude won the single man paired gun event.
I believe Dave took runner up and Dan was right behind him.
They were awesome to watch.

John Liles 09-26-2011 02:49 PM

Sorry John
 
After 27 hours straight this weekend working that channel closure and machinery swap-out at the High-Rise bridge, guess I just felt like I needed a.......DOCTOR!:) Thanks for the info on the Flurry.
John
