I put this out last year when John Davis made the 27 yard line. He is "somewhat" modest about his ability with the Parkers, but it needs to be stated that he reached the 27 yard line with his Parkers and I believe he MAY be the first shooter EVER to make the 27 with a Parker. Remember, in 1923 the maximum yardage was the 23, then the 25 yard line was the maximum in the 1930's to 1955. By this time, it is likely that not many shooters were using a Parker. I have no proof or way of reviewing the records.

John is the only ATA registered shooter I know of who shoots a Parker all the time and with his making the 27 last year, in my opinion, he is the first Parker man to reach it.

If anyone gets Shotgun Sports Magazine, see if there is a contact for "Average Ed", Ed Clapper. I'll see what I can do.
