Has the market for average Parkers bottomed???

[Mike of the Mountain]

As a range owner, I see more shooters bringing SxS guns to shoot clays. Many more express the desire to own and shoot SxSs. Those same shooters have no desire to spend any more than a few hundred dollars on a double gun but will buy the latest/greatest veg-o-matic and realize it didn’t help their scores. Then they want to sell the used gun for new prices. As the saying goes, “It is what it is.”

If you own $30k guns, why can’t you pony up $30 to support the PGCA? You certainly spend enough time here.

Actually it’s $40 but the point remains...

Its a personal thing for me. If you want to know more then PM me. I never said I own a $30,000.00 gun

[J.B. Books]

Just an observation. If this is the case it's happening when there is plenty of money floating around, unemployment at 3.7% and stock market at all time high. What would be happening with the prices of these guns if the country was in hard or even average economic times?

It’s also a personal thing to people who pay their own way.

You were the one who said the annual member wasn't committed to the PGCA and I'd been a member for 12 + years and therefore paid in more money than you have as a life member so lets not go there

[Bruce Day]

I said that becoming a life member is a demonstration of long term commitment. I did not say that annual members were not committed to the organization.


Your logic was that because you had been an annual member for some years, you felt entitled to cease paying and have your past payments retroactively credited toward life payments. I don’t know of any organization that does that nor does any insurance company credit term life payments toward paid up life insurance.

I do not share your logic, but it does provide justification in your opinion to not pay dues yet enjoy the benefits of participating on the forum.

Whatever floats your boat

So back to the subject, has the market for Parkers bottomed,?
