I think this is the best Fall Southern yet! As expected, Team Parker bested those Smith people by a comfortable 9 targets on the P- S Challenge. The weather is perfect with some clouds coming in today. As usual, our own Dr Truit won a handful of awards and shot the highest qualifying score for the Challenge, 29 of a possible 30 . Dave Fjelline has made a strong comeback also making the Parker team. The two courses, small gage and large gage, were challenging but easily shootable. Today is the Hammer Gun Challenge. main event, Compaq, Black powder events.

That's very good news all around - Congratulations to those folks you mention!

I hope somebody does a nice write-up of the entire event with plenty of high resolution pictures so we can feature it in the Spring 2016 Issue of Parker Pages.

There will be more info and photos once I recover from the ride home and get photos uploaded. Stay tuned.

As David said, it was a great Fall Southern. Great shooting the whole time. Fewer vendors but still good stuff and choice guns.

The roster is correct except Buddy Marson was our wild card shooter and not Neill McCinnis. All of the shooters on both teams shot well and a good time was had by all

One of our members had recently purchased a fantastic , all original, high condition BHE 28 ga with 28" original titanic barrels . He was kind enough to allow me to inspect it. A special gun. Another member allowed me to handle his all original VHE 34" 16 ga. There were several other memorable member guns in attendance and a few for sale on the Parker table . There was also a Repro DHE 28 ga rebarreled to a 34" 410! This is not much of a dealer show but several guns changed hands among members. The attendance was up this year over last, so it keeps growing.

I'd love to see that BHE 28 gauge

The P-S hammer gun challenge was won by L.C Smith, but only by one point.
Dean-probably not as this collector is very private, but maybe for some cookies. It is not me.

Wow! I did not even see the guns David speaks about, but did hear about the 34" 410. It just goes to show that, despite a fewer number of dealers, there were plenty of fine guns to be seen. My favorite was an AH at Jerry Smith's table. It was an early one, fishtail toplever and great engraving. I got 152 photos, so I will post as soon as I get them downloaded to Photobucket.
