Parker Wins Challenge

[Double Lab]

It's not exactly like Parker blew Fox away. The margin was only 5 birds. Fox had a first time shooter and she was really nervous. She did her best but she was grinning form ear to ear just like our own Mr. Bishop because the new format for choosing teams gave everyone who shot for their respective maker an equal chance. Chuck did very well, no major flinches, and made some great second barrel kills. He's got his hat. I shoot with Chuck on a regular basis and there wasn't one other person that I wanted to see make the team other than him. Your welcome Chuck.

WHOA...WHOA.....WHOA, oh BIG WINDS FROM WINNETKA!!!

Let's not turn this into a FOX NEWS feature and allow us to hear both sides of the story!! This was no landslide victory by any stretch, AND it was nip and tuck down to the final round of true pairs. Indeed, there was plenty of sweat on the brows of the "RED HATS" especially during that protracted, infectious slump when down the line, targets floated away unscathed!

More importantly, the new FPC Challenge format was a SMASH hit!!
My congratulatory note and much more (unbiased) news to follow.

Oh and BTW Deanno: That frightened, submissive beast looked oddly enough like one of Team Parker's more vociferous characters whenever the "3-bird" was launched. Here's a hint.....

Correct. Senators Corona and Cambria introduced the bill (to widespread bi-partisan support) intended to bring a refreshing change to the same-old, tired Challenge format. Every competitor receives a raffle ticket based on the number of qualifying rounds shot. The top two shooters from each team earn the anchor spots, the remaining three are drawn from the Fox or Parker bucket.

Our hope is to give the more casual shooters their 15 minutes of fame basking in the Challenge limelight, and still maintain the competitive integrity of the event. If yesterday's contest was a leading indicator, I truly believe we're on to something here!

Then she would not only be nervous but worried her gun might not go off.

Look I understand what they’re trying to do , however I don’t care for it . If I was to make some team I’d rather it was from my score and not the luck of a rabbit in the hat . Competition is competition the best should compete with the best . Not some drawing reduced thing .

Koneski had a Pro-Am deal as he called it . I thought that a far better way for others to get involved . And you shot kinda 5-stand protection .
