Duluth Puglisi SxS Shoot

[Bruce Day]

The usual suspects headed north to visit our friend and fine Parker dealer Jack Puglisi this last weekend. Jack had a great reception at his store. Its a fascinating museum of fine firearms complete with a full suit of elephant armor, full body mount lions, and all the guns one could imagine. Row upon row of nice Parkers, from a high condition A grade hammer gun to lowly but well kept V grades. A person could develop a serious case of lust there. Jack and his crew, John, Jason and the family, were wonderful hosts and with platters of shrimp, sandwiches and cocktails, a fine time was had. Parkers ranged from over $75,000 to a couple thousand, including a 20ga DH with skeleton butt and everything right about the gun for $8700.

Then Sat morning out to the shooting range.
