Merry Christmas, we are one week away from NYD 2013. For those who are interested I will open the trap and skeet fields at Major Waldron's Sportsmans Association in Barrington NH for NYD Parker shoot, 1/1/2013.
Shooting can start at 9AM with a goal of having everyone shoot at least 2 rounds of skeet and two rounds of trap, hopefully more. Mid-Day if there is interest we can once again try a modified "Protection" with a 10ga backing up a smaller bore on each team from the 27 yard line, OR we can all line up and try to put each other out of the game in what called an "Elimination". An Elimination is very fun with 3 or 4 gunners at a time shooting a 27 yard bird in trap. If the man on the left who called pull hits it he is safe, if he misses and the next man hits it he is out. However if the first man hits the target and the 2nd man shoots the 2nd man is out. Another scenario, first man shoots and misses, 2nd man shoots and hits and then 3rd man shoots, both 1st and 3rd men are out. This goes on until only 1 man is left. Clear as mud right, it's great fun, usually lots of laughs and I know how to referee it.
In the past we have been treated to guns ranging from Trojans to an A1S owned by Robin Lewis. John Dunkle once brought his storied AAHE trap gun. Last year Frank Cronin and his rolling thunder 5 frame 10ga hammer gun shooting heavy black powder loads shook the grounds. last year we have had an orginal Parker-Snow musket in the gun rack.
There will be coffee and steamed dogs, more food if people bring entree's as they have in the past.
It's New Year's Day and a great day to look at Parkers, talk about Parkers and make some Parker's go bang.
