I'll definitely see what's going on for that. If you've got the dates that would be great. Maybe I'll get my license by then

Though not often, I've shot either SC or trap with my W&C Scott and that gets too hot to handle after 12-15 shots, even with a leather fore end extension.
My Parker stays nice and cool actually. My dad's CZ gets hot after 10 rounds. It's a hell of a bird gun. Light, fast, shoots where you point it

reminds me of last time I shot skeet. My dad dug up some old shells (11-30-97 was the date they were reloaded) and since my grandfather's 20 gauge loader hangs powder half the shells weren't powerful enough to get the wads out of the barrels. The rest were painful to shoot

Dave,
Those loads are beautiful. Almost a shame to shoot them. I don't care if they are 2", 2 1/2" or 2 3/4" the 3/4oz 12ga is simply an amazing performer. RST has developed a 3/4oz. load and Morris Baker has told me that he can't find a target that they won't break.

If I do all the driving, it's only because I'm deaf as a stone in my right ear.

Edgar you are using fresh water in the tubes arn't you? No recycleing
All I shoot are Parkers anymore I shot Gunners gun Saturday but we wern't getting along very well that day. I think the night befor had a lot to do with my poor performance.

Winter skeet league will see me with several Parkers both hammer guns and hammerless. The beretta 687 EELL tube set is up for sale

I shoot sporting clays with Parkers all the time. I see very few others shooting side by sides, let alone Parkers.

I'm going to shoot clays on Thursday (sept '12) and am taking either my
Sterlingworth or Lefever I grade. My Parker is full and full the other two are F and M. What chokes do you guys recommend? I am considering shooting my GH with spreader shells since it's a F and F. Anyone out there try such a thing?
