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 had a 12ga Trojan double once, with two 1 1/4 ounce of bismuth loads which was a real attention getter. It flattened the greenhead I was shooting at. The giant kaboom echoed across the bay like a howitzer went off. In my case it was a worn sear. I was able to determine which barrel by shooting a 1 1/4 oz lead load with a primed empty hull in the other chamber. That way I could tell when and how it doubled without the punishing recoil.

A few years ago I was shooting bunker, normally I shoot Perazzi MX8s but a guy showed up with a Beretta SO5 that fit me perfectly, he said it's for sale and I could shoot it. So I grabbed 2 boxes of shells and proceeded to shooting a round. About halfway through the round that SO5 doubled. I shot a couple more targets and it doubled again. I put it on the rack and went for my Perazzi to finish the round.
I'll delve deeper into my Parker but I'm reasonably certain it was a fluke thing.
