Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

I just bought this gun about two months ago and can't wait to enjoy it in the field. I also bought a 10ga 32" #3 frame top lever hammer gun that I'm hoping to use for my WI season in two weeks. I'll be trying the RST 1 1/4oz 2 7/8" #6 in this gun.
Can't wait.

Good Luck. The 10 gauge RST load you are using is what I used to kill my turkey. Kind of slow at 1175 fps but they worked. Patterned well at 35 yards which is what I thought were their limit with only 1 1/4 ounces.
