Headed for the Grand

[John Davis]

We’ve had a great couple of days at the Grand. Shot in the Singles championship on Thursday. These were Mike Franzen’s first ATA registered targets and he got his first 25 straight and a patch to show for it. Mike was shooting his GHE and I shot my SB. I shot the Doubles championship yesterday and gave my GHE a little exercise. We shoot the Handicap championship today, Mike with his GHE and me with my SA. Maybe lightening will strike.

Finished up today and we had a wonderful time. I’ll let Franzen post his scores for the week but I will say he did great. I shot 195/200 in the Singles championship shooting my SB. I shot an 86/100 in the Doubles championship with my GHE. And I shot 91/100 in the Handicap championship with my SA. I was pleased and the Parkers out shot a whole bunch of 21st Century space guns.

Good shooting guys. I see a junior shooter broke 400 x 400 in the championship events. That's 200 x 200 in the singles, 100 x 100 in doubles, and 100 x 100 in handicap. Never been done in the history of the Grand American. I hope he played all the options.

WOW!

Well we didn’t out shoot that space age gun.😮

John , I would offer you luck but a fellow with your skill doesn’t need luck ! Do well as I’m quite certain you will !

[Dean Romig]

You both know that if you break one target you can break every single one... and you both know it’s a mind game.

Best of mental powers to you both!!

Fun times at the Grand . But first a fly over in the Grumman .

But we were not really vertical or inverted in the aircraft.

[Bruce Day]

Between airplane flights , boat rides and shooting antique shotguns in a world of high tech space tech trap guns , there was time for libation and relaxation.

[Mike Franzen]

This was my first trapshooting event so I really didn’t have many expectations except to have fun and break every target. I accomplished the former easily enough but not the latter. I shot about 175/200 in singles and 89/100 in handicap from the 20. Mr. Davis is the man when it comes to Not just shooting Parker guns but being a true competitor. Bruce Day is the consummate host providing plane rides, boat excursions, swimming, fishing, Parker gun display, Parker lore and much more. Needless to say It’s been a great time!
