Lifestyle, Time, Money, the Southern, and Parker shotguns

[Andy]

I'm 60 and still working more than I care to. But, now that I have an income to buy most of what I need and want, I find that I really don't want or need it. I have a dozen Parkers, the highest grade being a GH. I have a love affair with 16's. That suits me just fine as they all shoot and I carry them (and hunt most of them hard) with PRIDE. I can't make the Southern this year, missed Mikes event last year, and sometimes it's not about the money at all but more about the time. I'd say if you had a choice between buying another gun or attending an event, a wiser use of funds is attending an event. I know there are folks that share rooms to keep costs down. Good luck and may your barrels be straight and true...
