I only made one day of the event and it was very enjoyable. I had the pleasure of meeting a handful of fellow PGCA members and seeing a few that I had previously met. Would have liked to have had more time to meet others there but for some reason most were busy shooting Parkers!

Enjoyed spending some time at my friend Chuck Brunner's booth and talking small bore Parkers and browsing the various offerings on display. I also enjoyed hanging out at the 5 stand watching some good shooters.

Great time! Look forward to reading other reports from the event.

I was able to finally make an appearance Saturday for about 4 hours !

Got to meet Mills in the flesh after bugging him with PM's here !
Also met Mr.Morgan , met Mike McKinny who has me wanting a couple more guns (imagine that).

And I suppose you could say we had a Boykin reunion of sorts as Craig Jacobs , Jimmy Hall and myself all have Boykins from the same parents .

First time I ever actually had my hands ON a Parker 8 gauge was yesterday . Two members were kind enough to let me fondle their cannons !

I'll never own it but I finally saw the Cliff Green set in the flesh so to speak . And a dealer from Florida had five very nice VH/VHE 410's ! He also had I think it was a VHE 10 gauge 3 1/2" .

Most likely we did cross paths and just didn’t know it 😉

Some may not like the idea but how about name tags next year, as and like the competitors use?

I'll tell you the same thing I tell the people at PSC where I've been a member for 35 years . If you don't know me and you wanna know who I am just ask and if I think you need to know I'll tell you .

And don't take that personally because it's not meant that way . But I do not wear name tags , even at companies I've worked for I ALWAYS found a way to get out of it .
