When I was just a lad we would spend every Sunday at the lake sailing. Dad had an 18ft boat that we raced every week. If we finished in time (depending on the wind) perhaps we would go skiing or tubing behind a members speed boat.
My brother and I were the crew on the sailboat and we often asked dad why we had a sailboat and not a cool ski boat. His reply went something like this "Any damn fool can run a power boat up and down a lake. A sailboat takes a fair degree of skill"
The small bores are my sailboats. A 25 at skeet with a 12 is one thing its quite different IMHO with a 410 or 28. When and If I ever get a Parker 410 it will be the second happiest day in my life. I say the second because the first will have been winning the lottery.
