Parker GH F & F a trap gun?
I have recovered from a serious illness...an aortic dissection. No one survives such an event, but here I am! I figured it was curtains and sold most of my shotguns. Now, eight years later I'm missing shotgun shooting. I was a heavy skeet shooter for a decade, also some trap, but my skeet shooting buddy moved away. I'm going to restart shooting trap. I own an old GH, F&F. Does anyone shoot one at trap? Are they going to laugh me out of the club when I unlumber my antique Parker? I bought a Remy 31 TC a few days ago, (made in June of nineteen fourty) which was made as a trap gun, but I like my Parker. Any ideas?
BTW: a decade ago when I broke out my Parker SBT they laughed at me. "Why don't you buy a gun made this century". One of the major members said. I shot the SBT anyway. I liked several things about shooting it. It was easy to use. Not too heavy. I guess it fit okay, but darn it all, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it. I was breaking 18/19 with it. I did better with a Browning Auto five. But not once did I break twenty five, which just about drove me crazy. I'm looking forward to getting back to the range. Will my 80 year old bod be able to keep up? I hope so.
