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.

People who are used to shooting a heavier gun in games like SC and Skeet find it difficult to shoot such a light gun with any consistency... it's all what you're used to.
Some of the Repro 28's are stocked very high and you might be shooting over the tops of the clays... or maybe it's cast, or lack of cast, isn't right for you.
My Repro 28's weigh about the same and the one I had with the straight grip was stocked very high... but I got used to it and usually shot 90+% at Skeet with it.

As Dean has alluded to nothing is necessarily "wrong" with either your shooting or the gun. You are just not used to shooting that particular gun and need to shoot it more. You will get used to each other and it will be fine. My buddy purchased a fairly high stocked Ithaca this past summer and had a hard time the first few times out shooting it to the point he was considering having the stock bent, but the more he shot it the better it was and he now shoots it very well. Be patient and shoot the gun more.
