I'm not really sure why I'm posting and not sleeping after driving all night (arrived home at 2:00am)to get home before the storm. Deb and I had a great time and enjoyed seeing and shooting with so many of our friends from all over the country. It was especially nice to see and visit with our old friend Harry Collins who has not been able to make these events the last few years.
With out a doubt Backwoods Quail Club has to be one of the finest shooting venues in the entire country. The grounds are immaculate and they have more equipment there than you could possibly imagine. The targets were great and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. We had showers for part of the day on Saturday but the rest of the time it was just a little windy which added a little challenge to the already challenging targets.
The Annual Meeting went great and the display of A grade Parkers was nothing short of amazing. Our member/friend Mike Smith from NC took a bunch of professional quality photo's of all the guns and I'm sure some will end up posted here and also in the next couple of issues of Parker Pages.
One last note, Dean Romig as usual did a great job introducing this years recipients of the Distinguish Service Awards to Mr. Mark Conrad and Mr. Art Wheaton. I will let Dean speak more about that when he gets home later today.
