I want to thank Carl for all the exhausting , frustrating, work he has done these past few years as team captain! Most of us do not realize how much work it is to put on this shoot and Carl did it with perfection.
I also want to thank Carl personally for his superb skills as an instructor. He is a master class shooter in his own right but was able to imprint some of his skills in my brain. I shot a person best this year, and it was all do to Carl's skill as an instructor. Thank You Carl!

Well, David beat me to it.

As new Team Captain, a big shout out to Carl for his work on the Parker Smith Challenge and his efforts in making the event better and better each year. I got to work with Carl over the weekend and I can tell you not only does a lot of work go in to this event, but Carl has also done many things to improve the event. He will be a tough act to follow.

Also a big Thank You to the many PGCA members and volunteers who pitched in to help with the event over the weekend. It would not happen without your efforts.

Carl is the man. He worked really hard at this event over the past years. I hate that he is stepping down but personally and as his friend I am glad that he will now have the free time to shoot when he is at the Southern. He is an asset to both the PGCA, the Challenge event, and to team Parker.
Welcome back buddy!!!!

I agree with John. Carl is an asset and a great ambassador for the PGCA. I'm glad he is going to be able to just be there and enjoy. Hopefully his gun will help put the Parker back on top

In addition to all that hes been said here about Carl, he is a true gentleman, a friend to all, and a real Class Act. Thanks for all you have done Carl.

I have some photos, but will let Dean pick out a few for Parker Pages first and then post some others here so we don't duplicate

This was my first Southern - yes pretty bad for Member #28- and Carl, I can't tell you what a great time I had watching and shooting in the Challenge, both hammerless and hammer. Thank you.
Mills you better get some bigger boots.

Thanks for all the kind works guys!

Now that I am retired from organizing the Spring Southern (Work) I do plan to get more involved in the shooting aspect (Fun) of the event. I am also planning a strategy to get more folks involved in participating so that the event will continue to grow.

Congratulations to the LC Smith team on a resounding victory. You may now rest on your laurels while we work out and prepare for next year.

Congratulations to John Truitt for winning HOA honors in the Challenge Cup and to Marshall Harrell for winning HOA in the hammer gun event.

I'll try to post results and scores soon.

Looking forward to next year's Southern.

Carl.

Mills,go ahead and post pictures. Any duplicates will certainly be 'forgiven' by the time Parker Pages hits the mailboxes.
