55 days and counting

[John Truitt]

Fifty-five days until the Parker vs LC Smith Challenge event at the Southern Side by Side.

We have been lucky here in Virginia with very nice weather.
Hope the weather is good where everyone is at so they can get out and get ready for the event.

Hope everyone who wants to, can make it this year.

Just want to say thanks to Mark Conrad and all of those who have and continue to work so hard to make this event possible and the great event that it is.

[Bill Murphy]

I'll be looking forward to the Challenge. We're very lucky that Mark forgot what he has implied in the past about "This is my last year" or some such. We are all quite grateful to have Mark in this position.

[Bill Faulk]

This will be my first "Southern".I have a new Grade 4 to shoot,a 12 Hammer,a 16 VH .
Now if I can only find a Parker 20 !!
Looking forward to meeting all of you ...
Bill

[John Truitt]

Mr. Faulk,

We look forward to meeting you as well.
Hope you find that twenty gauge.

Safe travels.

[Autumn Daze]

Bill, Even though I have been a member for a while now and if all goes well this will be my first Southern also. I am looking forward to meeting you also and seeing many old friends.

[C.O.B.]

Bill there will be lots of Parkers there for sale and I'm sure you can find a 20 there. Several years ago I picked up a nice DHE 20 from a PGCA member there.

[Bill Faulk]

I spoke with Larry DelGrego last week.
"You Parker boys had better do better this year against Smiths group at the shoot!"
His comment about the Southern.

[todd allen]

I would love to go to that shoot, and help spank those LC Smith guys.

[charlie cleveland]

ive got to set on the middle of the fence on this one.... charlie

[John Liles]

Hey Charlie, not really! Several folks actually shoot a Parker in the Challenge event, and an LC Smith in the hammergun event, or vice-versa. Main thing is that everyone has a great time regardless of which gun you're sportin on either day. Come on down and sit on the fence...in Sanford!
