Spring Southern SXS

[Mills]

I think that is what I meant. It has been a long day

[Mills]

With the annual meeting behind us now, the next BIG Parker event is the Spring Southern. PARKER NEEDS SHOOTERS! Everyone who regularly comes, please practice up! Anyone who has missed this event in the past or is thinking about coming, you don't know what you are missing. This is truly the Woodstock of the double gun world! Team Parker needs to win the Parker-Smith Challenge and Hammer Gun Challenge this year!

[Mills]

We are changing things around this year and there are actually less slots on Saturday, but more on Friday. Hopefully, this will work better.

Bringing this back to the top. See 8 gauge times.

Also, in addition to everything else, there is a 16 gauge event Thursday at Deep River and a 25 bird practice round for qualifying. Anyone who is serious about qualifying is encouraged to do the practice round.

I'm trying to be nice, but the last few years, No one was shooting Deep River on Thursday, most of the times it was not even setup for shooters until late Thursday afternoon. So that is how the Drakes Landing shoot started, to have a fun shoot before Deep River. Now ..... not sure why, how to say this, but now people want to split Drakes shoot, from the fun to something else, why....? And now to put a shoot in on Thursday, why, things were going fine ... Why does everything have to happen at Deep River, which is a very poor sporting clay course, the PGCA (I'll say this again) owes Bill nothing, between the LC members and Parker members we bring hundreds of people to his shoot.. Just think what would happen if we moved the challenge the same weekend to a better venue.... Ok off my soapbox last you will hear from me. Eric

We usually have so much to shoot we get to spend no time in the vendor tents!! We'll be in the carts circling the course like an Indy race!!! Only time we slow down to rest is for "The Challenge" qualifying and shoot-off. We normally shoot 1400+ targets over 4 days. :-)

[Mills]

If you go in the vendor tents, you are likely to come out with a new gun or two!
