Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Some 1st of the Year Clays
Started the New Year of right with a round of clays. It was a beautiful day in Rhode Island. I wanted to try some 12 gauge B&P 7/8oz. 2 3/4oz shells.
I believe I saw Breck Gorman post about how he liked them and Breck also refinished the barrels on this 1887 #1 frame 32” twist barrel fish tail hammer gun. I really like these shells in this gun. I also shot some 1oz loads as well. No issues with shell length and the gun shot very well.
This afternoon was a good reminder of how a lower grade gun can bring a lot of joy. This gun is choked IC/F and a lot of fun to shoot.
A great start to 2023!

I don't think there is any such thing as a lower grade Parker when it comes to quality of work...and greatness of pleasure in using the gun.
Well done!
