Steven,

To beat a dead horse I will mention chokes again. I opened the chokes on two Parkers and have woken up in the middle of the night thinking how I wish I hadn't. At 72 I have a greater appreciation for choked guns. One of my go to Parkers is a two barrel set with the short barrels .015 and .025 constriction. Another I decided to shoot because it was a foul day early this past winter was a Trojan 12 with .030 and .040 constriction. I shot a 96 at sporting clays and have beaten a Fabbri shotgun at wobble and doubles trap. I certainly can't explain it. Maybe I'm not as fast as I once was and by the time I pull the trigger the pattern is just starting to develop. I'll admit open chokes give a little more wiggle room at close range, but if you are on the dog will always have work. You did buy a beautiful and honest Parker. I wish you a plentiful bounty.

Harry
