Congratulations to the Parker Team!

Condolences to the LC Smith guys, they're great competitors.

And for anybody who thinks these are just a bunch of harmless old guys with their vintage play toys, these guys can shoot, as I found out last year.

Wish I could have been there.

Ok...you guys are gonna hear alot more about this from the Long Nosed Supreme Commanders...but I'll take just a minute to inject some observations from a Primarily Smith Guy that you can chew on till Carl has a chance to report.
At half time in the Hammerless Challenge event, LC.Smith was up by approximately 5 birds. Team LC's second squad dropped a few more birds than their first squad, and it was apparent to all in attendance that this was really gonna be a nail biter.
And then it happened. Team Parkers second squad took their pegs and shot the finest round of five stand that this reporter has ever seen! Target Crunching Machine is probably a little toned down as an accurate description of their performance. Other folks will chime in and say just who did what, but rest assured, it was awesome to see, regardless of the color of your hat. Damn fine job! I believe that Team Parker bested Team Smith by somewhere around ten birds when the smoke cleared.
Oh, and the elusive Hammer Gun trophy went home with Team LC Smith again.

Having attended every Challenge event(9) I agree with John's assessment. Simply the finest performance of any squad we have seen to date. Especially impressive was Carl Calandra's Perfect 30 of 30 on the final squad.

Congratulations to the Smith team for their continued domination of the hammer gun event.
