Default 2012 PGCA Banquet and those Awesome A Grades!

These are some of the pictures I took of the Awesome A Grade Parkers that were on display and up for voting at the PGCA Banquet. There were ballots on the table at each seat, and everyone voted on their favorite gun, with the winner taking home a beautiful custom gun case. If you didn't get to join us for the Banquet, I've listed the guns 1-12 in the same order they were displayed last weekend. Now is your chance, which one is your favorite?

Mike



Table 1, Guns 1-4

I did not vote as I did not think it was fair to the guns to pick a favorite.

#9 gets my vote. A straight stock and its a 20! That would be in the Grouse woods with Daisy and me in a heartbeat.
