1. I had bought only 8 and 10 gauges guns and did not think that a 10 gauge would be legal since Fox never made a gun in that gauge.
2. An 8 gauge is a cannon! The square of a gun's bore is a factor in total air pressure generated by each shot. I was exhausted after shooting my little cannon.
3. Although I had shot the high score of the squad I had done so with a light 8 gauge load, 1 & 3/4 ounces of shot! My integrity would not allow me to claim a position on the Parker squad.

Just because A.H. Fox company provided their customers with such a limited variety of shotgun guages should not disqualify your big Parker's Mark. Fox Collectors should have to live with those poor marketing decisions of yester year
Seriously I doubt many folks would think trying to swing a gun that heavy and long would be an advantage on clays. You did really well with that beast last year.
