Is the monument to Fred Gilbert? He along with Johnny Jahn and Bob Allen were all from Spirit Lake. Congratulations on your shooting.

Thank you. I don't think the statue is of anyone specifically. I think he's suppose to represent trap shooters of old. BTW, he's holding a hammer gun. But not a Parker.

I have looked at that statue many, many times and thought to myself "what would those old shooters think of todays shooters and the "race guns" they shoot and the scores that they post".

Just thinking out loud.....

Don't you think that today's ammunition has helped scores?
