Along the lines of what Bill Mullins said - Next year hunters could book a hunt Thursday or Friday, stay in accomodation right on the property, and then shoot the events on Saturday and Sunday. A regular "Fur, Feather and Clays" extravaganza. Think about it!!!

Now if I could just find that Harri-Kari (SP????) Dagger!

Y'all are subject to hear about parts-a-me showin up in the bait basket of a crab pot owned by some well connected Elsie connoisseur!

All joking aside, and barring the absence of a few good friends who might could have made things even better....What A Great Shoot! Dr. Truitt was spot on in his assessment of the way things played out. First class in all respects.

Hopefully we'll have even more representatives on hand next year (both for Team Parker and Team Elsie!) so we don't have to worry about no Stinkin Winchester Guys stealin our thunder! (Congrats to the Winchester Guys!)

Thanks to everyone who made our trip wonderful, and especially Rick and his merry band for making the event possible.
John & Lizard

Here are a few more sent to me by Mr. Liles....Enjoy
1) Ms. Liles accepting an award at the Awards Ceremony...Nice hat!

2) Mr. Brandt at work with a hammergun.

3) Can you spot the doe munching away...and this was at a shooting station!

Dave, do you remember the First Annual Addieville Fun Shoot where the doe was feeding on the greenery 30 yards from the shooting box and pieces of broken clays were falling all around her? She just kept munching and never batted an eye.

Top quality targets, course, no back ups, shoot til you drop.

Several Parker shooters did very well.
Tom Carter, Buddy Marson, David Dwyer, and Carl Brandt all brought home several trophies.

Hopefully some of the other guys will add their thoughts and comments to this.

God willing I will do what I can to represent the PGCA and support Ricks efforts.

John,

Relative new members of the PGCA, Ray Bridges and James Cowan also attended. James managed to get 3 first place and 1 runner up event. You need to twist his arm to shoot in the Parker challenge next year. I agree that it was a SUPER event.
