Parker SBT at the Range

[David]

Hi all - Had a great day at our local club up here in the Mountains near Kremmling, CO - I am new to trap/skeet this summer and doubt I will ever win any awards but I am pretty sure I will plunk a few extra birds this fall and winter from all the shooting this summer. Many thanks to forum member @gunnergrilli who has helped with this SC and answered a whole bunch of questions on various Parker guns. I wanted to share some photos and just share a bit of a great afternoon.

Keep at it and you just might be more successful than you ever imagined. Glad you are out there with your Parker SBT. Looks like a great place to shoot.

I brought my SBT to the trap range and was chided for shooting a gun made in the last century. "Buy a gun made this century, I was told by an old fellow. I shoot two guns at trap, a Parker SBT and a Winchester Model 12 12 gauge. Neither gun is anything like new or modern. I can't see why or how a modern gun would do any better.

I’ve been pretty lucky with my old Parkers.

Now that qualifies for understatement of the year John

More dedication than luck.

Luck is nothing more than the residue of design.

My Dad always said, “You make your own luck.”

As to the 20 gauge Parker SBT, I have to admit I’d love to own one. Not sure what I’d do with it.

Yeah; I'm guessing luck had very little to do with it.
