Fox/Parker Challenge

[John D.]

I've been watching this thread all day - to decide when to make it a "sticky" - but...

It appears to have taken on a "life of its own"...



Carry on...

Frank I should have been more clear as to "my" definition of a modified gun. What I'm against as a vintage gun are the things like recoil reducers, Morgan adjustable pads, non factory barrels, screw in chokes, adjustable combs etc. I wouldn't consider Gunner's Gun a factory Parker but it's closer to original than some of the guns I've seen being used.

My sentiments exactly Rich. Turning a shootable vintage shotgun into a "trick" shotgun just goes against the spirit of a "vintage" event. Shoot them in a NSCA event if you must, no one will even notice. But a Morgan adjustable pad on a classic gun? That's just wrong.

"What I'm against as a vintage gun are"

All depends on what one wants out of life; do you want to collect and enjoy shooting the guns you collect or do you want to compete and win at any cost.

Choosing other venues for our desired outcomes may be the answer as opposed to changing the venue to fit our outcome.

The decision is each of ours.
