Maiden voyage

Next time you're at The Rock or Hausmann's I'll bring you to Binghamton. It's the only one in upstate NY. It will make regular trap (which I've only shot twice) look like child's play. It's addicting and the fastest growing game at our club. I've only ever seen three 25's shot, all by the same guy who happens to be on the USA Paralympic trap team now. Sporting clays is my favorite, but bunker is my second favorite because it's never ever easy. You can shoot a 21 one round, then a 10. Ask how I know.

Haha. I've been busy with golf and sporting clays. BTW, I cleaned it good after I shot and it looked like it had been in the back of the safe for a while. The ejectors worked okay but I took it apart to grease it good and there was a small piece of metal inside the ejector channel. The bottom of that screw was a little buggered. I think it may have come from there.

Did you shoot it at Hausemanns in the Corona Ketterman event ?

I did, but poorly. Craig Larter was behind me and noted I was missing high. Which makes sense as until I adjusted my sight picture on the trap field I was missing high as well.

Dan, once you dial in you’re going to love that Parker. Hopefully I’ll be dialed into mine this weekend at the ATA Southern Zone shoot in Kentucky.

Thanks John and good luck! The entire Parker Community is pulling for you. No shooting for me for a couple weeks as I’m in the air headed to Alaska.

Sounds great Andy.

I don't have to ask how you know Andy, I already know

It's a very humbling game. I can shoot bunker about an hour from the house which I have done just a few times. Some day I am going to get back in it. I recall breaking the first six targets I shot at, that's probably still my longest run truth be known

Last week I ran 11 straight. Then dropped ten straight.
