In 1930, he lived in the Hyde Park area of Cincinnati, shot 2250 competitive birds, averaged 94.84. He shot no doubles that year. In 1934, he still lived in Hyde Park, at 2713 Erie Avenue. He shot 4650 ATA birds that year, with an average of 95.67. That year, he shot 50 doubles and only broke 29 of them. By 1940, he was living at 229 East 6th Street, or that may have been a business address. That year he shot 3200 targets and averaged a rather astounding 97.03. That year, he shot 324 doubles targets and averaged 86.72. I could give you his entire career in ATA, but you get the idea. He shot a lot and was a pretty hot shooter. It doesn't seem like he shot the Parker for all of his single targets, judging by its condition, unless it is refinished. The rare little Hawkins rifle pad really makes that gun sparkle.
