My run at this year’s Grand is over and I’m headed home. I finished up yesterday with a 99x100 in the Champion of Champions event, which wasn’t good enough to keep me in the carry over for ties in today’s singles event. There were 5 other State Champions who ran them. I’ve had a great run and figured I’d quit while I was ahead. Besides, I’ve been away from the farm long enough and the crops need tending.

As a final word, any of you out there who might be shy about competing with your Parker (or other favorite vintage trap gun) in an ATA registered target event, don’t be. They will crush just as many targets as any modern space gun out there, as long as you do your part. Remember, there is no substitute for practice.

Hard to believe that a 99 wouldn't be enough. That's rarified air.

Congratulations on a great performance.

Most ATA or NSSA 100 bird Champ of Champ events take a 100 to get into the actual race (the shoot offs).

If I had been shooting in the Veteran category, I would have been in the carryover.
