yes, wood to wood, that's my biggest problem when I miss, not keeping my head down

I shoot most shot guns pretty well wether they fit or not. That was one of the reasons for patterning the gun today To see if it was shooting high or low because of my hold. It shoots to point of aim as I said before. The last squirle I shot at with this gun was glued to the side of a tree at about twenty feet (not measured). I shot both barrels at it and both were misses. I wont say that missing isn't a possibility but I dont miss often and squirles dont get me that excited. I will try patterning with the no 6s when the weather clears and see if this tells me something. Maby the squirles just got luckey.

Wayne,

I'm told I shoot over targets with my Parkers. I think it's a wood to wood problem for me. 40 years ago when I was shooting about 500 clay targets a week in Italy I would see the target just above the bead. When shooting my little 20 gauge Bernadelli hammer gun there I had to come through the target. That's how I remember it. How about the rest of you fellows?

at 20 ft a different shot size shouldn't make a gun shoot off, should be able to kill them with number 1 buck at 20 ft, I find that 6;s shoot the best patterns in all of my parkers and Ithaca's. keep us posted

I think your aiming your gun, a shotgun is meant to be pointed. My favorite Squrril gun is an accurate Kimber .22LR.

Wayne,

May I suggest shooting the gun at clay targets with both 6's and 7 1/2's to see how you do. I suspect you will do just as well with one over the other. At least you will have the mental knowledge that 6's do not work or they both work just fine. If neither one works well just let me know and I will send you an address in CO to send the gun. I hate to think you would go over Christmas worrying about a gun that does not do well for you. Allow me to put an end to that worrying.

I just couldn't burden you with such a responsibility. I will just have to use it for quail and grouse with no 8s or make a lamp out of it.

[TARNATION !!!]

Tough to shoot a lamp gun, but not impossible. With a long enough cord, they could make a pretty good after-sunset gun.

Never shoot loads hotter than 60 Watts from a lamp gun

Hello, Im a new member and was curious how common it is for there not to be a research letter for a gun?

Rare or common?
