What would yoou do??
 

What would you guys do with a Parker that for whatever reason you don't shot well? And by that I mean I just miss more with this one Parker than I do with the others. Even throwing it up to the shoulder just don't feel right.
It has normal dimensions so I don't think that's the problem.
Would you keep her if she's kind of rare or would you let her go and let some one else enjoy her?

How rare? And will you be happy as a collector rather than a shooter?

I had a Fox 16 once I could not hit anything with. I had it at the club one day and someone picked it up and noticed (and I had not) the gun had a slight cast on. Made for a left hand shooter so I sold it.

The gun may appear to be of standard dimensions but subtle changes can make a big difference in shot placement. Have you patterned the gun on paper to see where the gun is shooting? It may reveal a lot.

Not that rare, just my grade 2 16ga hammer gun. I thought about cast but I can't tell just by looking at it.
I do pattern them. If they hit what I aim at it's good to go. But I guess I should take this one out to the range, heck, I do have patterning targets, maybe I should use one...:whistle:

Grade 2 16 gauge hammer gun. Angel, I would hold on to it because they are a real bear to sell. Angel, if we ever get face to face, I'll tell you how many guns I own that I don't shoot well. I don't dare put that information on the internet. I put Briley 28 gauge tubes in my Grade 2 16 gauge hammer gun so I would have the versatility of screw in chokes and factory ammunition. It also adds about 14 ounces to the weight of the gun to help with serious shooting.

I hear you Murph!! I would be hard for me to sell.

I would pattern it before I came to a decision. I think their are lots of us that have guns in our safes that we don't shoot well.

it would be hard for me to part with a hammer 16 ga parker even if i could not hit the broad side of a barn with it.. charlie

Funny how it works sometimes. My favorite gun is a lifter with modern dimensions and it is the worst shooting gun I own. I guess you never know.

Like was mentioned I would hesitate to get rid of one you may regret it someday.
