Hello .......My name is John Pachl. I live in eastern Montana and enjoy shooting vintage doubles. My safe has two Parkers, first a GHE 12 ga and a VH 16ga. They have given me plenty of enjoyment. Best regards, John

Thanks Charlie..........I have spent a lifetime admiring the workmanship in Parker Guns. They are a labor of love in combination with the best of American ingenuity.

Hello John and another "Welcome"!!

What sort of shooting do you do with your Parkers, clays or hunting or both?

My shooting interests consist of both hunting and clays. I have a blk lab and a german shorthaired pointer. I am mostly a shotgun hunter and my Parkers I shoot often. I have other SxS guns. But my Parkers are what I shoot the best. I don't shoot in a league for clays. But I have entered in fun shoots for SxS guns. Also, I have a electric clay target thrower. My wife and I love to target shoot. My wife enjoys bird hunting. We pursue mostly pheasants and hungarian partridge with a few sharptail thrown in. My waterfowling days are a part of the past. I haven't shot ducks and geese for years. The walking pursuit of upland birds keeps me young as I age. The dogs working a scent and the companionship a fine gun is what makes hunting for me.

The blue Cub is mine. It is a PA-12 150 hp. The others are PA-18 Super Cubs. We were out flying in the winter on skis and stopped to have some hot chocolate with a little BS. I love to fly. Flying has been a large part of my adult life. My wife loves to fly also but she is not a pilot. She grew up on a ranch in eastern montana. Her father was a pilot. That is how we met. She liked the airplane first.
