In one of the earlier
Double Gun Journals there was an article about a railroad employee in California who had a side-line of marketing Parker Bros. guns who over the years received three Quality BH guns. Probably before Gaucho settled into California. The Pacific Flyway provided plenty of waterfowl and California was lousy with quail back in the day.

Wonder if back then these little runners would hold for a dog?
I'm sure that pigeon shoots and inanimate target shoots were held as well.
