Dave, welcome! There are a good number of great guys in Michigan who are PGCA members and are regulars on this forum and I'm certain they'll be glad to help in your Parker education. They also have a few really great shoots in Michigan where you can meet all of these guys as well as a bunch of shooters of other SXS guns.
Come to think of it, the Puglisi shoot in Duluth is this weekend and you're sure to get an education there... everybody's goin' to that one... well, everyone 'cept me
