My son was on spring break last week, so at the last minute, we decided to make the trip to North Carolina from Louisiana. We spent most of Friday talking with vendors and looking at guns, we shot one round of clays on Friday before calling it a day. After looking at various sxs shotguns, talking with makers, engravers and gunsmiths, he gained a much larger appreciation for the skill and craftsmanship that goes into creating these guns. We went back on Saturday and shot another round of sporting clays and he participated in the youth event.

He was having a great trip before he won his age group in 5 stand and then to top it off, his name was drawn and he won a 12 gauge Parker with a custom made a wooden case from Pleasant Valley Enterprises. I am pretty sure the Parker came from The Parker Gun Collectors Association. After a ton of congratulations on the way out we hit the road and got home about 3:00 this morning.

He is already talking about wanting to make the next event.
