5th Annual Southern RI Parker Shoot – 5/24

[Donald McQuade]

Kevin, if you can make it you really should come up. It is a fun shoot on a nice course with a bunch of good folks. With Jay, Edgar, and a couple of the other Parker guys around some interesting hardware is usually brought out for inspection. Also, if you are staying overnight, Addieville is not far away, and Robin Hollow is agreat gun store to spend an hour or so in.

It looks like as of now there will be three of us traveling to RI next week. Kevin McCormack, Stan Hoover and myself. Is your clays course 100 or 50 targets?

Hi Daryl, This is great news! Looking forward to seeing you next Saturday. It's a 100 shot course.

Let me know when you get here. I know it will be a fun tine.

[Double Lab]

Will do Jay. Looking forward to it.

Hello Everyone,

We're less than a week away from the shoot. Ihave been looking forward to this and looking forward to inviting some new shooters this years(and every year going forward!).

I had listed our start time at 10, if possible it would be nice to get shooting a little early. Maybe 9:30 at the latest. There is another group using the recreation facilities in the afternoon so I was hoping we were cooking our lunch by 12. I don't think we'll be impacted as there is plenty of space, I just thought getting going a little earlier would be a good idea.

I am looking forward to displaying some Parkers for everyone to see. Please bring any gun you want to share or ask questions about. I have a few hammers guns I want to display along with my 28ga. damascus DH.

See you soon and please let me know if you have any questions.

Jay

Hello Everyone,

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. I will be there a little early setting things up. Would some one mind getting a box or two of coffee? That would be appreciate I think.

As I mentioned earlier, I would like to be shooting by 9:30 at the latest. So please be there by 9.

Can't wait to see everyone and talk(and shoot) Parkers!
Jay

What a wonderful day! The weather cooperated and we had a great shoot, visit and cookout.

Lots of Parkers and great company. I really had a lot of fun catching up with everyone. It’s always nice to see and try different Parkers. I did discover that I “need” a 30-inch 28 gauge.

Thanks for Clark and Beverly McCombe for bringing the best desert spread, which was just so good! Also, thanks Steve Wilson for taking some great pictures, including my black powder lifter shot with me breaking the clay

This was another reminder of how great our community is. Looking forward to shooting with you all again soon!

Thanks Jay for hosting this again,

And to all who provided food, and Yes, the dessert was award worthy!

I’ll be adding a few pictures in a bit, we couldn’t have had a more pleasant day!
