A heavier gun keeps moving after the shot, a lighter gun is easier to start moving. So many things to consider - quess that's why we're not all master class shooters.

Hi Paul:
Muzzle swinging through the bird is an issue with me hitting the crossing birds when shooting skeet. I have a tendency to stop and then shoot on birds from the high house. I don't have as much trouble hitting birds from the low house, (I'm right handed.) The reason is obvious. When unwinding to place the gun before calling for the low house bird it is natural to swing back left and less so, (at least for me) to follow the bird from the high house where I have to wind up to chase the bird.
I have been shooting a very light Browning Gold Fusion and as I tire I note that it takes me longer to find the bird after its launch with this whippy gun.
It is a work in progress. I haven't received my RST shells yet, so I'll shoot my Sterlingworth this Thursday at clays. Looking forward to it. This will be my first Clays outting.
Someone here said that I should forget worrying about choke, so I'm going to follow his advice and shoot the F and M gun at clays. As soon as my RST loads arrive I'll shoot my Parker GH F and F. That will be fun!
Since I shoot my SC at trap I want to shoot my GH at clays and maybe try it with spreaders, at skeet. I'd like to be known as the "Parker Guy" at my club. Might as well.
Neither of my Parkers are prestine, but both are in excellent condition with shinny bores, good springs and have been cleaned out inside of all of that ancient gunk. So they are excellent shooters. No one else in the club shoots a Parker....so I'm the guy. Even if I miss, I'm at the top of the Parker heep!
