PGCA Goals are:

Promote Parker Shotgun Collecting;

Publish our quarterly membership journal: Parker Pages;

Obtain the Parker records and offer a factory-type Letter to authenticate Parkers;

Provide members with a forum for their Parker research; and

Conduct an Annual Meeting.


Nothing in there about shooting events.

Nor is there anything in there about gunsmithing school. Like any organization with income and assets, goals can be expanded or reduced as finances allow. However sponsorship of a youth interested in learning more and shooting a Parker in competition would seem to fit under "Promoting Parker Shotgun Collecting" listed above.
