zatch.
I am a registered sporting clays shooter, as of the last 9 years. The last 5-6 years, shooting a purpose built Beretta 391, with a release trigger. (My pigeon gun is an SC3 Perazzi with a Allem's Release)
Some very special friends extended an invite for me to shoot the "Yoop Shoot", at Sagola Township, UP. Owning a few SxS's, including some fine old Parkers, I can't say no. Also, so as not to be miss-understood, I have no illusions of winning anything, just shooting the shoot, and having fun with some good friends. Having never shot clays with a SxS, and shooting a release trigger, poses some challenges. I have been shooting the local fun shoots the past couple of months under an assumed name, (Arthur du Bray) so as to not have the pressure of performance, and the worry of dragging my registered average down. I just want this to be a pure learning experience, with no pressure.
I shot the SC shoot at Mesquite Oasis yesterday (Saturday) with the Parker Underlifter hammer gun. (136 years old)
Wow! This is the magic gun. The dynamics are perfect for me, I like the tight chokes, the dimensions are perfect.
Tied for first place (HOA) with a 90x100, on a fairly tough course.
One of the guys came up to me, mid-course, and asked how it breaks targets, "like an angry b#tch!" was my answer.
I kinda like that name, "Angry B#tch", for a shotgun.
It will go the the Yoop with me.
This is the one, Underlifter No. 3130
