This was the first time I attended this shoot. It was a lot of fun and the targets were challenging. I didn't shoot that well or as much as usual by mid afternoon I'd run out of gas. Next year will be better I'll have my strength back and give it hell. LOL

I enjoyed this shoot from many aspects and also liked the fact that I got out of their without breaking the bank ! Did buy a little Remington 1900 16 gauge , four boxes of RST pigeon loads and a Parker hammer screw . Of course I bought a bunch of shot but that was a pre shoot deal . So my expenditures on the unexpected was kinda light this shoot .

At the end of the day on Friday as I recall it there was a 32", 12 gauge, VHE, vent rib, double trigger, trap comb on the gun rack on the PGCA table. We fretted over what to do with it as we did not know who that gun belonged to. Can someone now tell me who that gun belongs to. It was a dandy and thank you for displaying it.

That was mine Randy and thanks for the compliment. The gun was owned by a very interesting gentleman and someday I will submit an article for The Parker Pages.

That's a very interesting configuration and a really nice gun. Thanks again for bringing it. You know how to reach me should you suddenly become disenchanted with it

Daryl, if you do write an article for Parker Pages, and I encourage you to do so, I will automatically get the right of first refusal for that gun. Just sayin’. 😎

Fair enough. But..... Randy did post interest in it one hour before you did so for you to go to the head of the line there will have to be some quid pro quo involved Just sayin'

I probably beat Randy with my pm. Not as much to the point though. I just trying to make sure it was safe.

I had a similar experience: At the end of the day Saturday lying alone and forelorn on the bare tables in the pavilion was a very nice gray sweatshirt with "Shippensburg College" on the front; a good quality (Converse?) sweat with knitted cuffs and nice small diameter crew neck. Clean and smelling of Fabreze, and just my size, I thought fleetingly of "disappearing" it since I was in need of a light-colored sweat to offset my fall ensemble. But I thought better of it when I pictured myself absent-mindedly showing up wearing it at The Rock next summer and the inevitable 260-pound tackle addressing me quietly, "Nice sweatshirt, Bud; where'd ya get it?" Besides, I had already put a lost shooting glove I found in the parking lot displayed in a conspicuous place at the entry of the pavilion so the owner could claim it. Lots of peril and drama at these shoots1
