Default Parker SBT at the Range

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.

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