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.

Great picture of Stosh. That was the Addieville Vintagers, 2012 or 2013 (the last two years it was there. I still owned the gun then, and sold it to Tom Carter in 2012. He kept it two years, the plan being a set of steel barrels. He had done that to another small bore lifter which he let me shoot at the Fall Southern, 2012,when we all ran for the hills when Super Storm Sandy chased up the coast.
You might be talking about the C&D birds at station 8, or the real high ones at station 10, which Jay and I seem to spend much of our time. I shot that one last week with my Cyl, and IC 28ga last week. It's those two stations that give me belief that Cylinder bores really don't spread as soon as usually thought. That 28 gave me an 84 at Peacedale (Grouse Course) last month at Jay's Parker shoot.

Edgar, it was definitely the Vintagers event at Addieville but it was my gun at the time.
The gun passed from you to Tom Carter, (then to Dave Dwyer, then to Tom or Dave and ultimately to me at Pintail Point all in that one Southern event) and it was sent to me a week or two later. Then at the following Vintagers at Addieville I shot it with Dave "Stosh" on those looong targets. We had a small audience... maybe four people.
Did I ever thank you for selling it?
If Not, Thanks very much my Friend!!
