If you own an 8ga Parker and would like to shoot the 5 stand but don't have ammo, PM me and I may be able to help out. Join in the fun, I guarantee you will have a big smile on your face. Craig Larter

I need to stop messing around and get an 8ga. Parker as well. I have let a few slip away that I wished I had bought now...

Dan and Craig, just announced by Rick Hemingway is he will have two 5-Stands ready to roll Wednesday AM. 20 & 16 Challenge plus a 12g event and a pump gun event. That said, David, Dave and I will be at DR on Wednesday.

Rick said there is no 10g Challenge planned, so y’all can cross that off your list. (My words, not his)

So now we can shoot for score Wednesday ? With no 10 gauge that’ll reduce my bring shoot guns by atleast one .

I will be there Friday morning. I just bought a 8ga hammer gun from a member. I will pick it up and be shooting it for the first time Friday morning. I did already have 50 Track of the Wolf brass 8ga. 3 1/4" Shells and an original Parker 8 gauge caper.

Looking forward to being part of the 8 gauge club and the shoot on Friday morning.

As for loads, I am getting to work with 2 different recipes: I am going to try: 5 1/2 drams of 2F and 1 3/4oz and 6drams of 2F and 2oz of shot. It's a heavy 7 frame gun...I can't wait!

You’re priming with large rifle primers or large rifle magnum primers ?

I think you’ll be the only guy shooting BP in that event! Did you’re there Sunday, shoot the BP event with that gun. I think it begins at 1:00? We’ll probably be on the road already so I may bring some of my BP shells just in case we’re still there.
