I talked with Dr. Alan Speer today he told me he won I believe he said the Veteran concurrent in the SxS event as well . And he was shooting a Parker of course .

John Truitt shot the entire open very well. He was a strong contender in the main event. If I'm not mistaken his Parker is a Jim Greenwood stocked gun. Looked like it anyway when I saw it at the SxS event there in October.

My Parker I shot in B class is a 32" DHE. I shot an 80 which was strong enough for the B class win, but I left several "O"s on the score card that I shouldn't have. The SxS course was very challenging compared to alot of SxS events. I think it was a 13 station course with LOTS of true pairs. At least 8 or 9.

Congratulations John Reed! Let's see some pictures of your DHE and the bling.

A hundred years later and the Parkers are still doing what they were made to do.

Dr Truitt was top 10 200 target main event 1400 entry’s. Think his score was 6 or so under the leader. Look at results the few that shot higher are full time competitors.

That tournament had some very difficult targets. Anyone who shot it will definitely remember them years to come.

Courses were set by some of the best target setters in the country. One Fitasc target was a crosser over a lake that was just a bit over 100 yards. Definitely a hail Mary shot, but made it interesting.

I worked the "Welcome 100" course and the "Preliminary" course where I saw John and he was shooting an over and under. There was a separate course for the side by side I believe.
