It's about time it came out again.... If I'm there, Great Grandpa's AAHE will be there too... BUT - I'll be keeping an eye on it.....

Just sayin' ;)

Best to you Dean - and thanks for remembering.....

John

I might need that forend for one of my Parkers…


.
Did I ever get this one back to you from 2009?
From your sweet little 20 gauge Damascus DH with the fully checkered forend...?

You already tried that with the turn of the century Parker Show Gun... I've learned my lesson... :shock: BTW - seriously...

The AAHE has two factory forend's -one factory splinter, and the factory beavertail. I'm not sure both have been seen together - but, I can tell you the story behind them and why there are two factory forends...

John D.- I can't afford to lend you my Parkers as they would eventually make their way home knowing they are saddled with me - a mediocre shot on a good day! (: Right now all my Parkers think I'm Wyatt Earp. It's because I talk nice to them.

You guys are killing me. It's a little shoot like what Pete Lester has planned Jan 1 that makes the life of a side-by-sider so much fun. I mean the food alone would get me there! If it's real cold I hope you have some steaming hot chocolate. Of course venison stew will warm you up too. And some clam chowder! Yes, that's what I would bring along with some White Pheasant Chili. Perhaps some year! Please post some photos...of the crew gathered there AND the food.

You will be missed Chris - and I'm pretty sure if you sent your Parkers up, and let me (and well, probably Dean too?) shoot them - they'd be glad to be back with you after the event? You see, we'd make your Wyatt Earp reputation remain solidly intact...

Too - you bet... I've taken a few images in my time, so I'll make an effort to post some good ones - both of the guns and the food... It would be our pleasure for those of us who are able to attend for those who can not make it... But....

Maybe next year for ya'??

Yes John, I’ve seen the AAHE Double Trap in its case with both forends. For such a large looking gun (34” varrels) it is surprisingly light and agile.

I am planning on being there and bringing salad (my usual lettuce-free salad, that is).

Thanks Pete (and Scott, and anyone else who opens the houses and sets up before all of us eager shooters roll into the club).

I'll be there if the weather cooperates for a round. I have to work in the PM.

It is such an amazing gun, I look forward to seeing it again. For those who haven't seen it it alone is worth the trip IMO.

If it wasn’t 1200 miles and 19 hours away, I’d be there. Of course those us born and raised in the Deep South weren’t made for shooting in the snow. Good luck and break’em all.
