Todd, you're absolutely right - it is higher than a grade C and would be a dollar value gun.

Great shooting! I love the lifter Parkers as well, though mine are not as straight as yours. What shells did you use? Harry |

Todd,
There will be more than a few of us from this site at the U.P. Shoot. (maybe more, Eh Dave) Look for a dark green, 4 door, GMC pickup with a topper. Stop by and say Hi. We'd love to see your gun, meet you, and share a cold one with ya. |

That's a great gun, obviously made for live pigeon shooting with that kind of cut to the stock. A killer for sure!

Todd,
Do you have any problem shooting a pull trigger? I switched from right handed to left handed about 25 years ago so I could use my dominant eye but I couldn't get my left index finger to pull a trigger but no problems at all shooting a release. I once considered converting my SC trap gun to release but decided against it. I've been shooting the Parkers right handed with the left eye closed and I'm slowly getting better at it. Only flinched once or twice at the Southern this past week. BTW, nice lifter. Chuck Bishop |

You lose a lot of depth perception perhaps? |

You lose a lot of depth perception perhaps?
Have you ever tried the old trapshooters trick for the eye dominance- if you are right handed, but have a dominant left eye-find a focal point with your shooting glasses on and then try Scotch tape until you find the right spot on the left lens- keeps you from the "false leads" on the right to lefties, but still allows better depth perception. A good friend does this and it has helped him greatly.
I have at age 68 20/20 distance vision, a real blessing for an avid shooter indeed. I haven't always worn ear muffs, but always wear shooting glasses, even when bird hunting, and safety glasses when using a chain saw or other power tools. When I was younger I took good eyesight for granted- now I see my friends with similar problems. I do use 1X "cat-eyes" glasses for reading fine print- I think we have have physical 'quirks' when it comes to our senses- in my case, I can't squint closed my left eye- the few times I target shoot with a handgun, I partially squint my right eye and move the weapon over to my left eye side, to get clarity with the Eliason target sights on my Colts. When I shoot my rifles or shotguns, I always keep both eyes open. I can't speak much about release triggers, but would they be adaptable to a side-by-side shotgun, whether a single trigger or a double triggered set-up? On a SBT or any single shot, yes- but only for a clays target gun. |
