Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

OK, here goes. Your shooter, L.H. Reid, shot on both sides of the purchase of the gun, I haven't determined how far before and how far after. Every year I researched, he was listed as a professional.

1916, shot 2740, broke 2603. 95.07 average

1917, shot 3460, broke 3364. 97.22 average

1918, shot 2130, broke 2079. 95.72 average

1920, shot 3920, broke 3747. 94.86 average

In 1914, Mr. Reid was high average professional in the country with a 96.44. I can't say much more than that. Your gun was in good hands. The next step is to find out who he shot for. My 1922 book shows his address, which I will post later.
