I'm a bird hunter enamored with double guns. A great uncle gave me a double-barreled popgun when I was five. It was loaded with corks on strings. It wasn’t long before I cut the strings and had actual projectiles. That little plastic gun set a course for the rest of my life. His brother, my maternal granddaddy, had a G-grade Parker. The gun went to his only son but I made sure to get a Parker of my own. I’m a bird hunter but really spend a lot of time with ducks so I got a 30” F/F Parker VHE. This gun has taken everything from a banded greenwing drake to a fine black drake and a couple of tundra swans.
