Headed for the Grand

[John Davis]

Leave tomorrow for the Grand American. Very excited, as this will be my first trip. Planning on shooting in the ATA World Clay Target Championship on Thursday. It's a 16 yard, 200 bird event. I'll be shooting my SB. I suspect she may be the only Parker in Sparta, Illinois. Hopefully I want embarrass myself or the gun too bad.

I used to go every other year when it was in Vandalia just to peruse the vendor tents but I have not made the trip to Sparta. Even though I am not a trap shooter it was something to behold. Good luck to you and your Parker John!

John, Best of luck. Have fun!!!

Hope you enjoy your trip to Sparta. I was there once with kids shooting the Scholastic Clay Target program. It was one of the hottest places I have ever been and there is very little shade. I would take a beach umbrella if I were you. Good luck and have fun.

Good luck John. I miss going to Vandalia every year. Won't ever go to Sparta for various reasons. Shoot well!

Years ago I really wanted to do the Grand in Vandalia and the World in San Antonio but never did either !

Best of luck and get em all

Good luck with your SB John. I shoot your SC Shelly Gitman gun three times a week and it draws attention. I love the gun and it fits me like a glove. Do you have any idea when Shelly bought this gun? Who did you buy it from? I'm hoping he used this gun in the Maccabi (sic) games in Isreal but I guess I'll never know. Any additional information you might have on the gun would be appreciated.

Have you ever posted pictures of your SB, how long are the Barells ???

[Jeff Christie]

John— was yours the only Parker SBT (or even a sxs Parker trap) at the Grand? I expect not. Even at our tiny little Ike Walton local range we frequently have two and sometimes three SCs. The kids look at them with quizzical smiles.
