Default Size Does Matter: & My Look How We've Grown

Bachelder Master Gunmaker's: Annual Employee Shoot Weekend 2015

Tons of guns & ammo
Everything from 22's to fully auto firearms

The highlight of the weekend being a Parker DH 36" 8ga
& a customer request to test fire 50 rounds
Everyone that made it out had the fine opportunity to shoot it at clay targets.

I would note the women out-shined the men on hits & managed the massive recoil with ease

A great time was had by all & we look forward to this year's coming event!

-Brad

Looks like pretty nice weather for this time of the year and your part of the world. Nice looking 8ga. You could probable get one of our members to hawk his tractor and an antique car for it. (I won't mention any names)

Great photos. As the saying goes, a picture tells...

If I may ask, what is the frame size and weights for that DH 8?

Best,
Patrick

Anumber 6 frame, I dont remember the weight. A beautiful gun, fully restored.

The shoot was in August at my cabin near Cadillac Mi.

Looks like a good time. Nice to put faces to the names of the Bachelder gang.

The 8ga looks like a hoot to shoot !!!
