Maybe There's Hope After All
I apologize that this isn't a Parker specific thread but we've bemoaned the decline and death of shooting sports enough that I believe it appropriate. I volunteered this year to help coach the Varsity and JV high school shooting team at Southland Academy, Americus, Ga. We began the season today with a tournament at Flint Trap and Skeet Club in Albany, Ga. The kids shot Sporting Clays and Skeet. Normally they also shoot Trap but the machines were down. We had about 100 high school and junior high competitors from 7 different schools. I was fortunate enough to be in charge of three of our young lady shooters. They were squadded with two other young ladies and a young man from a "rival" school. All were wonderful ladies and gentlemen. They helped each other out and gave each other high fives no matter what school they were shooting for. Safety was foremost on their minds and their display of sportsmanship outstanding. I was very proud of each and every one of them.
