2012 PGCA Banquet and those Awesome A Grades!

[DoubleDown]

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?

Thanks for the pictures.

I like #11 and 7. #9 aint to shabby either.
And #12 has got some very pretty scratching on her.
Great photos.

This years annual meeting was as good as it gets! I throughly enjoyed the banquet and the Fall SxS shooting venue. Many thanks to all that made both the Parker Annual Meeting and the Southern Side X Side Fall Classic possible for all to enjoy. I am already looking forward to next years event and returning to Georgetown SC where we can enjoy one of the finest sporting clays courses in the country, great local restaurants and top notch motels to accomadate all who attend. For those that missed this years event it's not too early to start making plans for this great event in 2013.

Well said Mr. Marson

And one of my highlights was that I got to meet Buddy in person. And chat about Parkers and scoundrels with Buddy, David Dwyer, Tom Carter and Bill Mullins under a nice shade tree with a cold PGCA beer. Dont get much better than that.

I am all for returning to Georgetown next year, particularly if it does not conflict with grouse season and more of us can attend.

Nononono- Please come north so we can show you some of our hospitality.

I heard they were going to move it up a month to the end of September. IF this happens I'd consider going but NOT the end of October.

In the Upper Pennisula there were no crowds, lots of birds, adult beverages and NO SANDY
