Lifestyle, Time, Money, the Southern, and Parker shotguns

[Double Lab]

I've been going to these events long before I retired. I started when I was in my 50's, self employed and when I didn't work I didn't get paid. But the lifelong friends I made are worth it. YMMV.

Many of our members, like myself, were raised in an atmosphere of outdoor sports, and fun with guns, regardless of our financial lot in life. We started low on the totem pole, progressing to a better position, but at all points, having an interest in blood sports and guns. Interest in Parker shotguns is a natural high point of such a lifestyle. By the way, The Lovely Linda has attended the Southern with me every time I have attended after the first year. On our last visit, she even purchased a shotgun.

I started attending when I was 49 or 50 and self-employed, such as Daryl. The only Southern I missed was because it was canceled by the Plandemic. Sammy was with me there the second year I attended. She’s been back home since because someone has to run the desk. She’s been to the Fall Southern twice. She will be attending the Spring Southern when we have operational changes here at The Rock.

It’s amazing how when you see the various events you can compete in just how quickly your double gun collection grows!
