How often do you shoot your Parkers?
 

Hello all,

Just need something to get me thru a doctor's visit. How often do you shoot your Parkers.

Every time I go out.

every week:bowdown:

Since I rarely shoot clays any more, it depends on how many days i get out to train or hunt the dogs and how many birds they find.

It is on my bucket list to wear my Parker out before I can no longer shoot. Once or twice a week in the off season. Every day during hunting season.
Best Fishes and good luck,
Steve Kleist

in the off season i shoot my guns almost every day at pop cans or paper plates in hunting season almost everyday...aint many days i miss shooting the smell of burnt gunpowder is mighty hard to beat... charlie

I shoot some kinda Parker every week and at least 100 shells.

Every week, sometimes twice a week, minimum of 100 rnds. each time out. I'm just breaking them in for my grandkids.

after looking at that pic, i see why i don't have shorts on :rotf:

Clays games of every kind along with autumn and springtime gamebirds will never see me shooting anything but my Parkers.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Nice picture.

Willhave to go in for eye surgery on Monday. At least we are addressing the issue.

Over under people tell me that these old side by sides should not be shot a lot. Go figure.

Thanks again.

Understandable, they think our Parker's are built to the same or lesser standards as modern O/U's :)

I shoot two Parker's each week at the Sporting Clays course and in the fall a Parker is the only gun I shoot.
For years I shot registered skeet but haven't done it in a long time. My only time on a skeet field is during our winter league. Tell you O/U friends you know where there is a nice Beretta 687EELL with exhibition wood and Briley ultra light sub guage tubes for sale. Next winter league I'll be using my GHE 16ga skeet gun.

Scott, just "let it loose" next week and show those legs:eek:

I'm going south to rent a room in Charlie's chicken coop! I like his shooting schedule a lot!! Go Charlie!

Archie,
Good luck with your surgery on Monday.

I have a beautiful custom engraved Perazzi that was built for the pigeon ring and it sit's unused in my safe as I can't bring myself to shoot anything but a Parker. Skeet, trap, sporting clays or hunting it doesn’t matter it's always a Parker that I reach for first.

It's a blessing you can wear shorts Steve, some of us have to consider the risk we would be taking with them of being charged with indecent exposure :rotf:

:):corn:

As much as I can. Have to give the LC Smiths and other assorted guns a turn every once in a while, though.:shock:

I have my Parkers and Remingtons and they're all I shoot three times a week at clay birds - from 50 to 150 each time. Paul

Thank you all for the replies and "best fishes". My happy place has become the sporting clays course. A perfect place for my side by sides. After these procedures are over I hope to return to the range with my Parker PH and my AyA 4/53.

Thanks again.

Wishing you a successful operation and speedy recovery. Having had surgery recently myself, I remember the relief in getting back on the clays course
