SOUTHERN TENT DISPLAY 2023

[Randy Roberts]

Bringing this to the top Gents. As it stands now I have had exactly 2 responses. A little help please as we don't want those LC boys making us look bad

Just my opinion but I think much of the interest in shooting event table displays is waning. Chuck Bishop and I did the Parker display table at last year’s Vintage Cup. We had very very few people stop by and almost no one asked any questions or engaged us in dialog. A few PGCA members stopped by to say hello but few showed any interest in the display guns, they were there to chat. It takes much work and time to set up the display booth with very little benefit in my opinion. Most PGCA members attend shooting events to shoot and shop, not much interest in other members guns that are not being offered for sale. I think it would be better if the PGCA table would be used for members guns for sale.

Our agreement, as an organization, with Deep River is that their generosity to us is based on our not selling guns from our ‘display only’ tent location.

IMO we don’t necessarily set up our displays (and I did it with Larry, Dave Suponski, Chuck, Robin, and a few others for well over a decade, maybe 15 years) and we know very well what goes into it, but we set up mostly for the benefit of those who are to date uninformed about Parker guns and all things Parker - as well as a place to display the guns we are proud of. Those with an interest to learn will stop by I believe.

Correct Dean, Deep River would not allow the sale of guns or any other items that might pose a conflict with their vendors.

Bringing this back to the top folks. Responses have been very slow to date. We could certainly use a lot more guns. Remember that you can venture outside the theme and bring any Parker that you might like to display. Thanks to those of you that have responded, I am looking forward to hearing from a few more of you fine folks. The PGCA appreciates your support.

Randy:

Would you like the Dentist's guns as written about in the TDJ article "An Unmatched Pair" in the fall of '21. I can also bring an Ilion CHE double trap that has a vent rib and beavertail.
