I'm not sure why but I added a third SC to my accumulation today . Wait thats not correct I sent the funds for the gun , whether it arrives or not is up to the less than stellar shipping Gods !

The two I slready have are both 32" I wanted this one because it's a 34 inch . Doubt it picks me up any targets but one never knows until that "one" tries !

Gun was on GB and is supposed to come with it's own leg o mutton case . I'm hoping that case will also handle 34" 10 and 8 doubles :whistle:

Because. That's all. Don't question it any further or you'll make yourself nuts

It looks like as good of an example as you can hope to find. It appears to be complete and unaltered. A big plus.

Craig, you can never own too many Parker singles. Ask me how I know.

It’s really tough to find one of these unaltered. I hope Bryan is right. Post some pics Shenkle you get it. I’m also interested in what the case has to tell.

That does look like a nice one. That may even be the original recoil pad.

Craig, no reasons are needed for procuring another gun. I must say that for some reason Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” seems to run through my mind after a purchase. :whistle:

As long as the Shipping Gods don’t poop on my parade this one will most likely make it to Rock Mountain .

If you make it to the Rock or I make it to the annual meeting you’re more than welcome to take it for a test drive . Then when it comes time to part with it I can say “Champion Trap Shooter John Davis” shot this gun !

I am pretty certain that you will like the 34” barrel. I really like mine. Makes a great Turkey gun as well. Win, win.

I don’t bother Turkey much anymore . However I’d like plunking one with one of my 10’s and going somewhere legal and plunking one with one of my 8’s :whistle:

But of course ! Actually I did last year or atleast the single barrel event on the course , had a ticket for the five stand event but ran out of time .

Mike you should give some thought into putting in some sort low gun semi skeet field . I acquired a 12 skeet since I was at your place .

All these vintage gun events should be low gun. They are supposed to be but it's not enforced.

Most of the time I shoot sporting low gun now . However I’ve picked up a (to me) kinda weird ailment at the moment . I’ll mount the gun shoot and usually break the first target and then more than a few times I’ll raise my head for the second target and fail to put it back down before I pull the trigger . Shot Saturday before last in Remington VA and my friend with me said the majority of the targets I missed the wad flew over top of them .

I dont know about that. Your wad is the least aerodynamic thing coming out of your barrel. However, if you are lifting your head try coming just a bit out of the mount and then getting a second good mount with head on gun. Works great on report pairs and even some simo pairs.
