I've got 2 more Parkers to carry a VH 20, 26' and a PH 20fluid steel. Not going to carry the Grade 2 12 hammer gun, too darn heavy

[Andrew Sacco]

Beautiful Harold! What load are you using for the 16??

[Jack Cronkhite]

The Vimy Parker VH 12 F/F and two limits. Lab is Fergie who lives with a hunting partner’s son. A good day in Saskatchewan. Cheers Jack

[Harold Lee Pickens]

It is a 7/8 oz of 6s, with Universal 19.5 gr, SG 16 wad, in an RST 21/2" hull,
going about 1150 fps, per Hogdons data. I use 8s with it for clays.

[Andrew Sacco]

Thank you Harold I have a lot of RST 2 1/2” hulls in 16g. Sounds like a nice load.

[David Noble]

Harold, was all this on one hunt, or several over time? Nice array either way!

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Andy, have some nice 3/4 oz loads, great for grouse, Woodcock, and clays also.
Dave, it was all different hunts. Limit is 2 per day.

[Mills Morrison]

I had a hard time hitting them myself on that first day in South Dakota. Bruce Day gave me some coaching about really leading them and I did better the second day.
