Default Update From the Grand American

I've been here at the Grand since last Wednesday and my scores have been all over the place. Some good, some bad. But yesterday Parker SBT, serial no. 187630, came through for me. The old girl took Veteran Runner-up in the Blaser Handicap event with a 97x100 (25/25/24/23), followed by another 25 straight in the shoot off. She also picked up a one yard punch, putting us now at the back fence on the 27 yard line. Not bad for 105 years old, with a face lift.

Congratulations, John. I assume the first place finisher in the Blaser Handicap was shooting a Model 97 Winchester Trap.
