Default Sporting Clays

So I shot a round of sporting clays today with the Parker. I did reasonably well with it. One of the throwers said it was the only side by side there. Interesting. Anyone shoot sporting clays with a Parker?

I don't keep score, though I broke at least one target from each station.

Where did you shoot Christopher? In CT? Larry Frey and his wife Debbie and I shot sporting today at Wallingford Rod and Gun.

I was out yesterday with my newly restocked 16ga lifter and I did better than I thought I would. They had a NSCA/FSCA shoot so they were using the Blue course. The Green course was flooded so I had to shot the Red course. Holy crap do they move fast in the Red course. A couple of station I did'nt eve get close to the clays. Back to the Blue course for me.
I always turn heads with my girls. Yesterday two guys couldn't believe the age of my hammer guns at 135 and 127 years. They wanted to know if they still work..

Shot sporting clays today, took some handloaded BP shells for the 1 frame 12. Boy does that get the people talking. I saw the improvment in powders today. That BP cost me several targets but sure was fun. One of the locals insulted my gun by calling it a parker hale. I set him straight of course. Shot a vhe20-vhe 16 and hammer 12. What a great day.

I've used a 32" VHE and a 30" GHE. Little question that I shoot an Over/under better, but didn't embarras myself. Lots of comments and lots of fun.

That's all I use. Parker's can break clays with the best of the P, B, and K crowd. Go to the Vintagers or the Southern and see what they can do.

Cleaning the black powder residue out of them old twist barrels is enough to make me start drinking.
