Mr. Cleveland,

We went up early Saturday am. We got a few drops on us that morning and then the rest of the weekend was clear and dry. We were very fortunate. Despite lower attendance, participation compared to years past it was a very enjoyable event.

I think the boys and ladies that were there Friday had to deal with alot of moisture.

Mr. Truitt you are very modest. I reviewed the score's and you sir shot very well also. Danny and I missed seeing you guy's but it sounds like a great time was had in spite of the rain. Congratulations to you all for representing the Parker Gun so well....well done. Also let me not forget to congratulate Young Ed Jr. on great shooting...a 70..very nice.

I believe the following to be accurate: (all shot with Parkers)
1. Carl Brandt:
Second place in Main Event
Runner Up in Prelim
16 ga hammerless Champion
2. Dave Fjelline:
First place in Main Event

3. Edward Blake:
High Junior in Main Event

Dr. Truitt's description of the situation is probably more accurate than the description given by those who had tables full of guns on display in the tents. As a shooter, I would have been quite pleased with the wet weather. You can only think about how unpleasant the conditions are for your competition.

Dr. Truitt,

Mr. Liles, (since we are being offical)/ (whats that all about?),

Dave and Dan did win the team event in the flurry, but some other dude won the single man paired gun event.
I believe Dave took runner up and Dan was right behind him.
They were awesome to watch.

Default Sorry John

After 27 hours straight this weekend working that channel closure and machinery swap-out at the High-Rise bridge, guess I just felt like I needed a.......DOCTOR! Thanks for the info on the Flurry.
John

A few photos attached below.

John the "some other dude" Truitt did indeed shoot like a madman to achieve 105 broken targets of 200 thrown in 4 minutes at the flurry with paired guns. Dave "The California Champ" Fjelline loaded for John and started out with two shell pouches and two boxes of shells in each. At just past the halfway point Dave motioned to add more shells. I dumped in two more boxes and went back to the cart for more. By the time I had gotten back with another two boxes, Dave had emptied another pouch so I dumped in another 25. I looked over at the "Dude" and he looked as though he had made it through a round with Mike Tyson, taking punches to the shoulder while juggling flaming hot skillets. I swear his left glove was smoking!! I regret that we did not get it on video...would have make a great u-tube. My best guess is that John fired about 150 rounds in 4 minutes. That's an average of 1 shot every 1.6 seconds. The "Dude" is my hero.
