Nothing better than a Parker...no wait, nothing better than a Parker 16! Can’t wait for pictures of those ducks.

Hello Dave and Welcome.
I was born in Eau Claire, but spent many of my boyhood days on the mighty Mississippi near Buffalo City, WI. As I am sure you are, I am also a Packer fan.
I now live in Ely MN near the Canadian border.
You will enjoy the forum and be sure you join the Parker Gun Collector's Association.
There are a few Parker related events in our neck of the woods as well.
Perhaps our paths (and Parkers) will cross someday.
Best Fishes,
Steve Kleist
Ely, MN

Rich, it will never be fed anything else. A good pattern on target trumps anything high pressure.

Thanks, Garry! This is certainly the place to share pictures. Real nice group here!

Steve, I was in Eau Claire today after a round of clays near Warrens. (Woods & Meadow)

One of my sisters lives there, and my oldest sister graduated from UW Eau Claire. And to top it, I used to stay at my friend's grandparent's cabin at Buffalo City as a boy. We'd fish the stump fields in a flat-bottomed boat. I'm just downriver near Trempealeau. Small world!
