Thanks Charlie: I took the VH16 and VH12 and the little French Darne 20. Never shot a Darne before. Handled nicely but bird and pattern never met so after wasting a bit of ammo, I put that away for the day. Next was the VH 16. I discovered in the clean-up that the butt stock is from a different Parker 16 and that the bores were not well cared for over it's life to date. That said, I knew it would be a good shooter. First shot was a bit different. A rooster flushed and just as I am pulling the trigger, a second flushed right into the shot. No chance for that one to get out aways, so hit pretty hard. Second and third shots each brought down a rooster. So, 3 shots, 3 roosters. I guess I'm a Parker guy for sure. Cheers, Jack
