It was a good year all around for myself and my better half. Purchased my first Parker last January, a restored Trojan, which was only in my possession for a short time then traded for a all original VH 12GA/ 30". I was invited to attend the gathering at Drakes last April and had the opportunity to meet and shoot with a fine group, and I mean this seriously, of gentlemen. I enjoyed Drakes immensely. Then over to the Southern and missed qualifying for the Parker/Smith Challenge by four targets, maybe next year. Three months ago a very good friend and Parker mentor sent an exquisite Grade#1 Hammer 12GA/32" my way and I couldn't be more grateful. I am enjoying both my Parkers and hoping to add to the collection in the future.
To all that I shot with at Drakes and all the members I met at the Southern, Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
