I had a Shelly Gitman SBT and sold it. Was glad I had the opportunity to learn a little bit about Mr. Gitman. The new owner, a PGCA member, seems to be enjoying the gun and shooting it often and well. I'd like to think that one day many, many, many years from now, folks will be looking for John Davis SBT's. You'll recognize them by the JND engraved in the ovals. Picked that one up from Mr. Gitman.

Default SBT

Thanks for the reply’s!
Shelly Gilman was a client of mine back when he and his brother owned Gilman Brothers Shirt Company. I was in the finance business and financed the Company for 10 plus years. He and I talked Parkers many times and he got me on the way to what I have today, but I always wanted one of his SBTs. He was an interesting, successful businessman and a heck of a great Trap Shooter.

A good friend and shooting buddy. About 3 years ago, I was driving through his home town and there was the shirt factory, still there.
