I went over to S. Berwick Maine to shoot some practice trap with my 32" NH. It's not a looker but sure shoots well. I had some 1 1/8 ounce 7.5's pushed along with 700x. They were shooting what they called Helter Skelter. Shooters standing at the 16 yard line but not changing stations. Somebody would call pull and another shooter might shoot it out from under them or if there was a miss there might be two or three shots at the same bird. I layed in wait for each target that was missed by at least two and often three shooters. Then I gave it some windage and figured in some drop and Whamo! I was on my game and the Big 10 busted 44 or 45 out the 50 long range droppers I shot at. It hit them hard too. Almost everyone there asked what I was shooting. They smiled when they saw it was 10ga, most never heard of 2 7/8 shells and all were stunned the gun was 117 years old. I joked with them that you would think there would have been some improvements to shotguns over 117 years
. The short ten Parker's are simply amazing in their long range performance.
Until you actually shoot a short ten for awhile you can not fully appreciate just how much more capable they are vs. a standard 12ga at long range targets.
