Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

I pulled out my copy of "The Hunters Guide to Ballistics" by Wayne van Zwoll and reread the chapter on buckshot !

He claims in his testing ANY buckshot from 000 to #4 penetrated well enough to kill deer to 40 yards and if you keep 60% in the obligatory 30" circle at that distance you should be fine on broadsides . If quartering he claims #1 or larger is required .

I usually hold my shots with buckshot to 30 yards . So I am thinking with my somewhat less powerfull 10 gauge loads I should be fine in the Smith with #1 and #3 for deer based on his criteria .

I do have #4 buck on hand so when and if I have gotten deer with #1 and #3 I may very well try some #4 in my Ithaca NID Short 10 .
