I'm a little late on my introduction, but I'm Dave Erickson and I live in western WI about 3 miles from the Mississippi River. I've always been fascinated with shotguns and I'm just tip-toeing into some American classics. My Parker is a 1913 16 gauge VH. The gun handles gracefully, and feels lighter than it is. Unfortunately it has a repaired crack in the wrist and cast-off for a lefty, but despite all that it shoots pretty well for me especially on mid to longer range targets where I have time to snuggle in and let those FxF chokes do their job.
My goals are to have fun with it at the range, take a few wood ducks with it, and just enjoy owning a Parker.
