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.

Great country and guns Garry. Most of us only dream of 3.5 flushes/hr! Must be a good year. Enjoy it before the population starts to diminish. I too have always loved 26" guns, especially on the lighter frames. I have several, including a damascus GHE12 on a #1 frame that is perfect for tight cover and long days. Even better in really hvy cover is my 24" PHE16 that seems to nail birds despite my clumsy shooting skills. The open chokes on it have you not hesitating to shoot flushed woodcock when they pause to go from vertical to horizontal flight.

That PHE sounds like a dream woodcock gun, Richard. I ran out of funds at a recent auction where a nice DHE 20 with 24" barrels was sold. I still regret not bidding on it.
