Pattern Test?

[Bill Murphy]

I only know that a shot that comes out of the barrel, round, at 1200 fps, loses velocity and penetration at the same rate, regardless of choke. However, many gun companies, in the early days, made claims for more penetration than their competitors. My question was "Did Parker make claims like that?"

I think there is only one way to resolve this much debated issue of "long range fowling".

We need to have a long bird event at the Southern. Awards per gauge and then over all. Would be cool to see 12 vs 10 vs 8, etc.
Limit load to 1 1/8 oz of #7.5's

Make it a 80 yard target.

Fox vs Smith vs Parker vs etc etc etc

No "Woolwich" allowed Dr John!!

Someone might share the rules for the Fox Collector's "Bo-Whoop" competition

With all due respect John, I can't see where there is room for an 80 yd. long bird event at the Southern.

Let's not leave out the tightly choked 20's and 28's. They can be quite impressive on those long birds.

The Bo-Whoop at Hausmann's is THE premier long bird event. Please come join us in June.
