Paul P., do you have your own squad in PA or would you be agreeable to putting a squad of vintage single barrel shooters together for a shoot or two? We are almost neighbors, I am told. Maybe we can get Chuck to join.

What do these two people have in common? They get to shoot the same Parker Single Barrel Trap gun. Got research letter today and my SBT was ordered by Fred Gilbert. He sent it back later, but it is still cool.

Mills, that is great. Could you post a picture of the research letter? And gun?

I wonder if it's the same gun Gilbert broke 589 straight with in 1919.

Here's the letter. Gun is supposed to be on the way and will post photos when it is in hand.
Gilbert owned the gun in 1919 but returned it for some reason. |

Probably because he didn’t break 590.
