Default 2025 North Carolina State Trap Shoot

I just finished up the 2025 North Carolina State Trap Shoot and the Parkers made their presence known in the Tar Heel state. Two weeks before this tournament a strategic decision was made to shoot one gun for both singles and handicap, and that gun was the Parker SAA. I think it was the right move.

Parker highlights from the shoot are as follows:

Event #4, 100 Singles, the SAA won High Gun with the only score of 100 straight.

Event #7, 100 Singles, the SAA tied for Open Veteran with a 99x100 but lost in the carryover.

Event #8, 100 Handicap, the SAA won Non-Resident Veteran with a 92x100 from the 27 yard line.

Event #11, North Carolina Doubles Championship, the GHE won Non-Resident Class A Champion with a 91X100.

And the SAA and GHE in combination won Non-Resident High Over All Veteran Champion with 914x1000. They placed 9th over all for the entire field of shooters, both resident and non-resident.

For the tournament, the SAA went 489x500 in singles or 97.8%.

Not bad for a couple of hundred year old Parkers.

Next stop, Tennessee.

I shot the NC State shoot at Bostic for 15 years. Not the easiest place to run a good score! Congratulations, John!!!

Scott, you are right. I found Doubles particularly challenging there for some reason.
