Default New to the group from East Tennessee
I’m really glad to be here and like a lot more I fell into the “I inherited a Parker well more like a gun safe full of guns” I have had a lot of my own guns over the years but if I wanted to use the Parker I was out of luck because my dad kept it in the safe. And now that he’s passed away I’m a little overwhelmed but I can’t imagine what else I rather be overwhelmed by. That being said I’m really glad that I am here

Welcome, Jarred! Tell us about your Parker(s), or better yet, show us some photos.

Be prepared to enjoy shooting, learning, and talking everything Parker. We admittedly have a bit of an addiction. Welcome Jarred.

Welcome Jarred - You’ll like this website even more once you become an annual member. It’s only $40 and there are far more benefits of membership than meets the eye on the surface.

I would argue that the membership fee is way too low for what you get. The magazine alone is worth more than the cost of entry. I belonged to the Browning collectors, that was a waste of money. This is a hidden gem.

Welcome Jarred. Parker Universe awaits you. Join up as a member and buckle up. One caveat, since you reside in TN, you will have to compete with the TN Cartel (AKA Reggie Bishop) for any Parkers that become available in Rocky Top!!

Welcome Jarred there are several Tennessee boys here including an antique member named John Allen, we can certainly help you with our addiction.
John and Reggie have contributed to my Parker affliction.
