10th Annual New England Fun Shoot

[George M. Purtill Member #28]

Tool man I really don't care about your supposed dilemma. However, you can redeem yourself by driving the 2.4 miles from your fox den over to my house and delivering me a freshly caught taxpayer funded trout today. I am at the Cape moving beehives this morning so please leave it in a cooler with ice.

Or.....you could have gotten your lazy butt out of bed.....fished till 8 am and then drove the hour to Addieville to spend the day with the mushroom boy's.

Cast and blast...whats better than that?

Stocked trout? Yuck!
You need a trip to Michigan's Au Sable. All wild fish. THAT'S trout fishing!

A fun day with fellow Parker shooters at a great venue. The only drawback for us Long Island boys was not the trek but the fact that we had to hide our switchblades and boxcutters. We look forward to shooting with you all again and will be a Hausmans in June. Maybe earlier.

John,It was great fun meeting and shooting You and Nick. Maybe a trip over to LI to shoot with you guy's is in order. Okay.. now post up some of those pictures!

Great time guys! Couldn't ask for any better weather for mid April. It was the warmest and sunniest I can remember going to this shoot. This event was a much needed break after dealing with record winter of 9 feet of snow! Hats off for Dave for organizing this event.

The morning started out a little rough for the NH boys. Got a frantic phone call, "Frank, Where are you?" Billy's phone directed him 45 minutes south near the mansions of Newport. I'm like, "Huh?" After a little help, they did finally show up. I still don't understand how someone gets "LOST" with a GPS?? Time for a new phone Billy?

Squad I shot with consisted of Billy Janelle, Scott Kittredge, Pete Davis, Chris Travinski, and 16 year old Ezra who was a pretty darn good shot!

At the end of the day, Billy was high gun who put on a clinic smashing birds with his 32" GH.

Where was Pete Lester???

Here is me at one station I did manage to break..... I don't know what my problem was Saturday. I couldn't hit the side of a barn door.....

Even so, that GHE fits you well and you shot an out standing shoot. You have come a long way in you shooting skills, from cow bird in the early 70's with our daisy BB guns to these great doubles! Maybe team Parker in PA. in June??? save some of that good shooting, don't peak to early. Frank, that goes for you too.
FYI, GREAT PICS!! i do love seeing wads and shot going to target!
