By the time he ordered #103439 he was in his mid-60s and was not that competitive, but the news reports from the time show him in attendance at various shoots. I inferred from this that he was a shoot organizer or sponsor of sorts. The load he requested Parker tune the gun for was1 1/4 oz of #7s over 48 grains of Shultz powder, which coincidently is similar to a load prescribed for a Cashmore pigeon gun I own. Anyway,I hope whomever buys this gun enjoys it and shoots it better than I did.
