Fox-Parker Challenge

Double Lab · 06-08-2015, 06:43 PM

Many thanks to Scott Kittredge, Fred Veery, Larry Frey, Rick Simmons and yours truly for giving those uppity Fox boys a run for their money this year. We only lost by 3 birds and believe me the Fox team has some awesome shooters, so we should be proud. We need to field a Parker team next year for the Makers Challenge to butt heads with Fox, Smith and the other American makers. Mike Konesski shot lights out for the Fox team, missing only 2 birds. Now... if we could only find him a Parker he could shoot or get him drunk the night before the next challenge..

Finally, congratulations are in order I believe for our very own Veery, Fred Veery, aka Snap Cap, who bested the field and won the Bo Whoop contest. Great shooting Fred!

It would probably be easier to accomplish the former than the latter... I'll gladly loan him my DH 12 if he would shoot for Team Parker next time

Nice shooting Fred!

What were the results to the Bo Whoop? What was the high score?

The Fox guys put together again a real fun event. I shot it with my Parker 5 frame and LC Smith. Already looking forward to doing this again next year.

I would like to thank my cohort Toolman for all his help and ideas concerning the Challenge We had a few challenges pulling this years event off but I think it worked out well in the end. Congrats to members of both teams for putting on a great race. Everybody wins in events such as this. Next year boy,s......

They better look out next year at the Bo-Whoop, Scott tells me his new 32" Sterlingworth is shooting 86% out of both barrels.

Tom Snyder Jr won the BW $$ shooting a Parker. Tom shot 8/10. Fred won the actual BW trophy shooting his Fox. He shot 7/10 and then won the shoot-off. BTW, Daryl and Dean, I have a DH 12 and a few hammer guns too made in Meriden. I hope to make the Fall Southern again this year and shoot for Team Parker like in 2014. I hope we repeat our Fall Parker-LC victory again!! Good times with good guys and good guns!!

Awwwwwwww, how it warms the cockles of Toolman's heart to hear that!!!!!

It's all so insidious......we just sprinkle some Philadelphia Jewelry on the tables and they come from miles around.....

What are those haunting lyrics I hear in the distance?? Is that Freddie Mercury calling.......
