When you stop for a minute and think about it, this is a truly amazing accomplishment. He’s not shooting vintage events. He and his Parkers are going against guns that have a hundred years more evolutionary development. Contraptions that barely resemble a traditional shotgun and are current state of the art. Yet he is consistently beating his competition. What’s more amazing is he’s only been shooting trap about 5 years. Had he been around back in the day we would be reading about his exploits in Parkers in Pulp. A. W. Money, Judge Gildersleeve or even I. R. Pancake have nothing on J. N. Davis!

Since Parker would already have "Gaucho" west of the Mississippi selling wares, maybe they would have John east of the river doing the same. His nickname could be "El Scorcho"!!

Evolution is overrated.
