Default The Parker Gun at the Georgia State Trap Shoot

An abbreviated Georgia State Trap Shoot took place this past weekend at South River Gun Club in Covington, Ga. Although a smaller crowed than normal, it was still well attended. And the Parker Guns represented themselves well.

Singles championship was contested on Saturday and a strong, swirling wind accounted for lower than usual scores.

Parker SB, affectionately known as Boo, won the Ga. State Sub Vet category with a 190x200.

Doubles championship started at 9 am on Sunday morning and the wind had calmed down.

Parker GHE, known as Jennie, took the Ga. State D class Doubles championship with an 86x100.

Handicap followed Doubles in the afternoon and the heat and humidity were the biggest challenges.

Parker SA, who goes by LJ, won the State Sub Vet Handicap title with 95x100.

The three sisters combined took home the Ga State Sub Vet High All Around award. Needless to say they were the only Parkers, or vintage guns for that matter, on the grounds. And once again someone asked me if the SA was of German make.
