Thanks Pete.... It just "fits me"? Much better when I first shot it back in '66 or so, I was 9 years old then, and hadn't filled out as much as Grandpa yet? I had a tough time even seeing the bird over those 34" Whitworths back then...?

Yep, you spanked my little gun pretty hard in Skeet - BUT - Sara let it be known who was "King and Queen" of the Skeet field? And, well - buddy - it isn't "us". When I want lessons in skeet - I'm calling her.... Just sayin'.....

That is one sweet gun.... I wasn't a Lefever fan before today - but, well - I gotta say - I could be convinced... (Sara, bring those Raffle Tickets to Hausmans!!! )

Actually - no Pete - thank you, Sara, Scott, Dan, Bob, Mark - well the list could gone on and on.... For a terrific wonderful start to 2024 after a particularly difficult year end to 2023.... Each and all of you put a smile on my face today. And that... Is more appreciated than you know...

My thanks.....

I'll commit right now to $100 in those tickets... I never won one of the Parker Raffle guns - so, my go to is now that Lefever... BTW - If I win it, one skeet lesson is on you, right? "Save the Skeet" will be our motto - and I expect to live up to that.....



Thank you so much for today, Sara.... I had a wonderful time...!

Thank you Pete. This day is not about shooting at all, it is about the people and the guns. Realized i had never held a Lefever on the way up and Sara took care of that omission in short order. Thank you Sara!! Again it is the people that make the day with the stories and the unique guns. John it is fabulous, thank you.

You are very welcome. I’m glad I could make that wish come true, and let you inspect my C and G grades. Lefevers do not disappoint!

Lefever shotguns are special and the high grades are beautiful works of art. They really play well with Parkers in the gun cabinet. The more you learn about them the better the odds you will show up next year with one of your own. (PS. Sara might not have told you some of their special features, to name a couple you can turn an automatic safety off and make it a manual safety with the turn of a screw. Uncle Dan's design was rather brilliant, instead of a roll pin for the hinge it is a ball and socket, should it come loose from wear you can bring it back on face by turning another screw).

Dorothy and I sure missed shooting with you all and just being with you.
Hoping to see you all at Hausmann’s in a few months.

To everyone, thanks for getting this set up. This was my 2nd year and had a great time looking forward to next year already.
Special thanks to Scott for letting me use his 10 gauge shells for a round of trap, plus some reloading ideas from both Scott and Pete.
I just got an order in for some hulls and wads. Shooting the 10 was better than I had expected.

Sara that video is just awful, good work.
