Default Nostalgia Shoot at the Grand

Remington will be sponsoring the Nostalgia Shoot a the Grand American this year. In order to participate, you can only shoot a Remington 10, 11, 11-48, 29, 30 or 31, Winchester 12, 21 or 1897 or Ithaca Single Barrel Trap gun (no matter what year it was made). That's right, Parkers are not allowed.

I guess Remington forgot they bought Parker Brothers. UNBELIEVABLE.

That’s a disgrace, not only to Parker trap shooters but to the history of Remington Arms as well.
What thoughtless incompetent put that list together?

Has anyone contacted the ATA or Remington to ask why? Maybe a carryover from last year. I'll contact the Executive Director and see if he replies. Just another reason I don't support the ATA anymore.

They don’t have any of the Remington SxS’s listed either but they have the Winchester 21 ! And the O/U Remington 32 . Seems to me if they’re going to include the 32 they oughtta include the Browning Superposed .

I reached out to my Cousin who recently stepped down as the ATA Pres. He has informed me that last year was an over sight and Parkers "WILL BE ALLOWED" this year.

The 2020 program went on line yesterday and is headed to the printer. NO Parker is listed. The guns I listed came straight from the 2020 program.

It is my understanding that as a side event it is up to the sponsor (Remington) to determine what guns are allowed. I believe the oversight is on their part, not the ATA.
