Mike my friend, I'm happy you posted about your Parkers; I read your post that "old dry wood" has been a non-issue for your Parkers. Good to know as I've gotten into Parkers. I'm one to shoot traditional/regular loads whether for clays or heavy for hunting and I've never had that concern over decades while shooting many Foxes with same a whole lot. :)

We’ll, any maker’s gun can split and crack. As for my experience, I had two guns have a cheek break off while shooting. One was a BSS that had (unbeknownst to me) previously been repaired. The second was an A grade Fox 16g.

The young man would be downgrading his shooting iron if he shot what you want him to shoot. Your "friend" is very confused. Just saying.:whistle: :bigbye:

We had nine participants in total and I think a good time was had by all !

Craig,

I wanted to Thank You for providing trophies, of course it's not all about the trophies, but I think we would be lying if we didn't say we tried a little harder when there's a trophy to be had.

Me and Shane sure enjoyed the comradery of shooting with all the fine gentlemen who shot the BIG GUN EVENT :cool: again

Stan

Thanks Stan ! I’ve always thought it made it a little more intresting if there’s something to be won !

I have been fortunate to shoot with Stan and Shane and all of the 8 gauge participants over the last few years (Thanks Craig for organizing 👍) This young Man has learned a ton and I expect will continue to give His Dad and all of us a run for many years to come! Great job Shane!
....And Stan you must be beaming with proud! Congrats to both!
Cant wait till we do it again in September 🤠!
