I still have not shot my Parker GH?
 
My wife bought me a Parker 12 Gauge GH for Christmas and I still have not been able to get it out and shoot it. It is by far my most prized posesion. I take it out of my gun safe daily and hold it and look at it and then wipe it down.I can't imagine how I will be with it when I go out and shoot it. We don't have alot of money but she just knew that would be the right gift for me. It will always be in my family if I have anything to say about it. I just had to post something about it ,because this is the only thing that I have had on my mind since Christmas. :bowdown:

Well Armand, you're just over the line from me and a bit to the West. I've been to a restaurant in keene a couple of times - "Henry David's" is the name. Said to have been Henry David Thorough's mother's barn... don't know how true that is.
We wish you could have come to the New Year's Day Shoot in Barrington - it would have been good to meet you and admire your "new" GH. Keep in touch with us and when our schedules coincide we can shoot together.
New toys are great, aren't they? I remember when I was little I used to keep my new toys under my pillow until the novelty wore off. My wife doesn't allow that so I have a big gun safe. :cool:

Just a thought but has your gun been examined by a gunsmith--I am thinking that knowing it is safe to fire is important to you?
