Being that your Parker is a hammer gun I just bet it has a lot of drop. Outside of restocking it with less drop I think you will find that you will have to use the old time heads up shooting technique to get on target. I have many guns with more drop than so called modern dimensions that I shoot very well, I just have to remember which gun I am shooting. Shoot some paper you will be able to tell right away what the problem is and what you will need to do to get on target.

Angel, I have the same problem with a gun most people would love to have. Just don't seem to shoot it as well as other Parkers. It is a 16 ga O frame DHE, with a straight grip, and 26" barrels choked cyl/mod. It weighs 6 lbs even. That would seem to be pure death as a grouse gun, but I struggle to shoot it well. I shoot my VH 1 frame 16, GH O frame 16, and VHE 20 with confidence, but struggle with that gun. I carried it this weekend pheasant hunting and had a chance at a true double. I did hit both birds, but neither cleanly. The dogs( setters) brought back 1 runner , but I lost the second in a quarter acre of impenetrable brush. I swear that with any other gun I would have dropped them cleanly. Still, I would have a hard time parting with that gun, not rare, but darn hard to find in that configuration. I guess I would say don't sell it unless you could turn it into a gun you like better.
Merry Christmas Angel, and to all on the PGCA forum.

Thanks Harold, Merry Christmas to you and to the rest of the PGCA family.

I sold grade 2 16ga hammer gun and a CHE 16 because I couldn't shoot them. If you can't use it turn it into something you can.
It may just be a matter of operator malfunction so if you would like a unbiased evaluation just send it up here and I'll give her a session on the range free of charge:rolleyes:

Thanks Rich!! I knew I can count on you.

What are friends for esp during the Holidays. I expect to see it the first of the year:rotf: testing will be completed ASAP with a 12month turnaround guaranteed.

now thats a pal for sure...charlie

What would you do! Just send me the gun, and I will talk to it a little while and then, It will perform as no other, course for this a small fee is charged! guess what that is? Merry Xmas man , Gary

I have had the same problem recently with a pretty nice Parker. I lost confidence with the gun, so just sold it. I am a happier shooter as I do not continue to struggle with one that doesnt shoot well for me. I just found a nice lifter to replace her JMHO.

Bill-screw in chokes?::nono:

Yeah, my 28 gauge Briley tubes in my 16 gauge hammer gun have screw in chokes.
