Default Parker Memories

Todd,
That's a good idea.

My son was less than a year old when my Grandfather died so he has no memories of him.

I only remember seeing my Dad shoot the Parker one time. I was shooting clay pigeons with some friends with the old Remington and had shot at a few with the Parker. Dad walks up and says "let me try one with the Parker". He said pull and waited until the pigeon reached the top of the arc and shattered it. He handed me back the gun and said"that's how you do it".

Best shooting lesson I ever had.

This year my son ( now 15 ) made the school shooting team. He has been using a Franchi over and under that I bought back in the 80's. It is a beautiful gun but does not even come close to the look and the natural feel of a Parker.
