Young man, old guns
 

Sorry for my absence from this site for so long but things just keep getting in the way. I haven't even paid up my dues yet but I will!

Many of you have watched Wyatt grow up in the pictures I have posted and some of you even have some of his leather braiding. He is pretty talented if I do say so myself.

Well here is an update from last Sunday showing the young man, our young dog and old guns. The straw bales made a pretty good blind by our sprinkler pivot!
Next week I take him up to visit Colorado School of Mines in Golden and then to Colorado State Univ. in Fort Collins for Engineering Day. Senior year is a busy time for us and trying ti juggle farm/ranch work, etc.

My Nice shot loads work pretty well but can't seem to find it anymore. I loaded it a couple of ways but is really pleasant to shoot in Federal paper cases with Clays powder.

Enjoy my bragging pictures. -plc-

fine looking fellow and his dog i m sure ya ll had a great time with the geese..i m sure the young man will rememberthis hunt a long time...charlie

Great time was had by all. Nothing falls like a goose. How long are the barrels on the Parker?

You should be very proud of Wyatt. Not only is he a good shot with vintage guns, he obviously has some brains to go along with the shooting.

The Colorado school of mines is one of the best engineering schools out there. If he has the chop's to be admitted to mines, he really has something going for him. On the other hand. CSU is a great school also with the added benefit of great goose hunting close by.

Good luck on the decision!!

Excellent

The barrels are 32"s. It is a DHE ca. 1929 and unfortunately not in the records. I am pretty sure it is/was a trap gun since the stock is very straight and it has a non-auto safety. I guess that could have happened later. For me it is a super duck and goose gun. Chokes are in the neighborhood of full and more full.

Thanks Paul. Brains he has and it is more a question of the best package and where he feels most comfortable rather than getting in. I'll brag and say his ACT composite score is 30 and science and math component is 36. His mother and I are extremely proud.

Peter, I have several kilos of Nice Shot #2 I'd be willing to part with if you're interested.
