John, I'm sure if Parker Brothers was still in business, they'd hire you as their rep. like the other famous trap shooters they hired to represent them.
You do all of us who love old guns, especially Parkers, proud with your fine shooting. Good luck this summer.

If I had to travel as much as Tucker and du Bray, my wife would divorce me and take all of my guns.

John, for your information, NSSA does not police entries in the Champion of Champions event at the World Shoot. Participants are supposed to be AA or AAA in all guns or have won a state title. I have shot the C of C in every World Shoot I have attended and was never questioned about my qualifications. I hope this information helps you with C of C at the Grand. Maybe you can slip in to the event just by signing up and paying the entry fee.

Bil, unfortunately the ATA doesn’t work that way. To qualify for the C of C you have to be that year’s State Singles Champion (or runner up, if the champ doesn’t show up) or a State category champion (Jr., SubVet, Vet, Sr Vet, etc.). I’ve been fortunate enough to shoot in the Champion of Champions event the last two years as State Champion and State SubVet champion, respectively. Maybe once again next year, when I move in to the Vet category?

As a side note of possible interest, none of my guns have a front bead sight. I’m a notorious bead checker.
