Default Guess I am hooked!

Well after 5 or 6 weeks of shooting clays, I love it! never had done it before Started off shooting a 1878 Colt 12ga Just bought a SBT 217205 shot 4 boxes of Winchester AA loads thru it Sunday evening, got to remember let the target push the brls or so they say. I am fortunate to only be walking distance to the range, not public just a dozen or so get together to shoot a couple times a week 7 or eight trap machines make it different each time,will get a letter on the gun soon Gary

The SBT’s are a joy to shoot. Mine are the most instinctive pointing guns I’ve ever owned.

There should be a warning label on all Parker SBT’s. “Shooting this gun may become addictive.”

Scott, the book says an A grade but the gun is stamped B grade, and I bought it as a B grade Letter will tell the tale, When i got it the old pad was hard as a rock, I replaced it with a Kick EEZ The LOP is 14-1/2 and I prefer 14in but do not want to cut the stock the pad I put on was about 3/8 in and I took the spacer out. The SC I have is just right almost like it was made for me, but I will shoot both it is a full choke on both guns Gary.

There should be a second sign that says something to the effect of be careful THEY DO MULTIPLY
