trap guns
 

Bill; did you consider that there may have been competition shooters that preferred a lighter load?

Best, Austin

[QUOTE=Dave Suponski;14708]Francis,Let me help you decipher this: Crow shooting should go in the Hunting section. While I love a Model 12 and I shoot one quite often at best this should be in the Other Fine Doubles section.Out of this whole diatribe the only thing "On Topic" is your sixth paragraph.As I am not getting any younger I really don,t want to spend the rest of my time reading diatribes.

Francisco,I you really want to "make friends and influence people" keep it short and to the point.......Please.....:rolleyes:[- Thanks David- I respect brother machinists like I respect brother Veterans, no matter their branch of service. And as at one time there was a SKI on the tag end of my surname, advise from a brother Pollack/Pollock?? is also always welcome. My bad, I guess. When Pete Lester mentioned blasting crows with his Parker Trap gun, I got "carried away" figured he was another fellow member of the brotherhood-as is Morris Baker--

I love to shoot crows with double guns and M12's, but will not mention either one again on the PGCA unless someone directly invites me to do so- Fair Enough??:duck:

Fair enough Francis.You are one of the"Characters" that make this forum what it is.This is just my opinion but I really think that if you keep your replys on topic without all the vague referrences that everyone will enjoy your company much more. Sooooo when you catch yourself "rambling"....well you know..:rolleyes:

You must be hell on the keyboard. It would take me a week to post some of those replys....now back to "Trap Guns"

and I still enjoy shooting crows over decoys and a caller with my "Trap" gun, got 8 of them this afternoon in Maine :p

Ya know Pete somehow this is all your fault.......:nono:

My trap gun is a DHE on a 1 1/2 frame. 30 inch vent rib, SST, BTF, M/F to a Hawkins pad. I like shooting 5 stand with it:), come to think of it thats all I have ever shot with it:duck:

How's that Suponski, short and to the point:bigbye:?

Dave with an SKI on the end of his name has really been helpful to me in regard to some PM questions I have ask him about......but several posts ago I admitted that I really wanted to learn all I could about Parkers and I'm sure seldom knowledgeable enough to give good qualified information about that subject, but I have figured out tonight that you northern boys don't hold back. Maybe that's lesson #2, a southern boy just can't get too distressed about what is said, back and forth, because it comes out just like you think it.

Perfect Rich...

Mike,Whats that old saying ?...."Discretion is the better part of valor"...Not always...

If Only Pete had been shooting "Bustards" maybe
 

- Naw- Dave- you are right. Like some folks who get long in years, I am "long winded" one of my many faults I will confess. But those few who really know me well would tell you that my loyalty towards my friends is unsurpassed (Semper Fi nonwithstanding)- and as I consider you and Dean and others on the PGCA to be friends, I plan to take your considered advice. I'm not here to annoy, if I come across that way, it is unintentional on my end anyway. I guess the computer is such a new novelty for me that sometimes I get carried away. So your words of wisdom will be heeded-:bigbye:

Austin, some shooters may well prefer light loads, but I wouldn't think that anyone would order a trap gun and be restricted to such loads. As we all know, Parker Brothers bored 2 5/8" chambers for 2 3/4" shells as a standard procedure, confirmed by factory specifications and hang tags.
