I have to admit it was a one-handed shot and I was leaning back from the hole a bit.... this was afterall a gun I knew nothing about; it looks fine...... but it is an LCSmith. I've never shot an LC before. Pretty cool 3-position safety though. The rear most position takes it off auto-safety mode. A tad dangerous I suppose but once you got used to it....
Maybe it was that I used #8 shot...! You think turkeys can carry some lead and escape?  phphphph..

I would think nothing smaller than #6 shot for the sicle. I'm a big believer in matching the shot to the target.

Hated the 3 position safety on my Smith 16 field. I used to put duct tape to keep it from going back,
I traded it for a 12 ga Francotte that got traded for an O frame GH 16 Damascus that I am keeping. |

We , that is, those of us who have been reading this forum for 6 or seven years are deeply indebted to Mr. Flanders for keeping the winter doldrums from making us blue and by introducing a line of humor that has produced some of the funniest material that has ever been on this forum. I salute you, sir! David

With that in mind, we have a lot of new forum members who have not seen the proper form for shooting sicles. Please repost the picture of you and your 10 parker.

Can't readily find the 10ga shot but here's my 2009 hunt with my 1883 12ga hammer gun, which resulted in a good clean kill....just the same, I abstained from having a "head mount" made...

I also once owned a smith with that safety. I never felt good about it while hunting as I could not get it off my mind. I have looked down the barrel of too many of my friends guns while hunting quail through the years. It is a very nice ejector gun but simply does not compare to a Parker IMHO. He said he probably would not ever use it and if I am with him I hope he doesn't because I don't think I could get it off my my mind even now.Thing do happen. Gerald

Maybe you need larger shot and a focal point like corn
Linear Mode
