I posted on another thread how my member friend Dave “Autumn Daze” steered me to a really nice 20 bore VH with 28-inch tubes. PA grouse season is long closed and although I have a NY license, a friend’s place in the Catskills is snowed in. I’ve been itching to shoot the Parker but it’s been pretty cold, single digits rising into the ‘teens. But today was a tad milder and my shooting gang got together at Rock Mountain for the 100 bird course that was set for yesterday’s winter tournament. There were six of us. I shot 6 stations with the Parker and 11 with my Perazzi. The 20’s were a mix of RST 2-1/2” shells with ¾ oz of 7.5’s, along with Remington 2-3/4” Gun Clubs and STS’s with 7/8 oz of 8’s. Top scorer was my friend Allen with his Beretta gas gun = 92 ex 100. And I’m happy to say the Parker & Perazzi combo did second place with 90/100. The VH shot like a dream and especially so for the first time I pulled its triggers. Needless to say, I owe Dave BIG TIME.
Here’s part of today’s lineup. That Parker is looking lonely but proud!
