It was fun to go to the Southern again after a hiatus of some six years. The event is bigger and better than ever. The Parker Foundation banquet was particularly enjoyable, a truly top level matter, done right. Charlie Green's guns are outstanding, just the best, and a joy to see. It is quite an accomplishment to acquire a collection of that quality. And it was wonderful to see Charlie Price again. The years fly by too quickly.
It was enjoyable to see and be around old friends again, both Parker friends and many vendor friends and to meet some of the new people. Just a few more hits and I would have made the team....maybe next time. I can shoot anytime, but shooting with so many people with fine guns makes it special.
I missed out on a fine high grade Parker, but got a lead on another, so the hunt continues. It takes a lot of effort to put on this event and we were glad to help out.
