Howdy Ken,

Welcome to the PGCA! My Brittany went to school at Shady Grove. Wonderful folks as is here. These gentleman's advice is priceless. But, beware, the Parker bug is highly contagious.

Larry,

Jefferson and I hunt there about six times a year. Neil runs a great facility and Sharon is great with training. The fields they have are larger than most preserves and the birds fly well early. With my dog, the more birds the better. I'm still trying to figure out how I can do a hunt with my gun there without exploding the birds. I'll just have to wait a little longer and of course the better solution is to buy a Parker in 20 gauge. LOL.

I went out to shoot sporting clays today with my parker and browning. There's no question that this gun kicks like a mule and the chokes are tight. It took some getting used to but I enjoyed shooting it for the first time today. Thanks!

Get a flat of B&P 7/8 oz shells. My VH kicks less using 7/8 oz than my Berretta OU does with 1 1/8.

Bill, thanks! I'll do just that. I toyed with a slip on recoil pad but couldn't remember who the maker was that I saw years ago. 7/8 is the way to go for 2 3/4 shells.

In the late 50's, a man named Les Main (Mayne?) and his wife ran the Rock Hall Marina. Our family would bring our boat in there once or twice a year. Nice folks. Wonder if that name is still around Rock Hall.
My first experience in a duck blind was on the Chester River, and later, I had a chance to hunt around Elliott Island. It's still a magic part of the world

John,

Chestertown is quite the experience for sure. It's a bucket list item for most water fowlers as much as it is to own a Parker. With hundreds maybe thousands of populations of Geese and ducks, you never know what kind of hunt you'll have but you can guarantee there will be plenty of birds around. The hardest thing to do is find a place to hunt and I got that solved this year. Happy New Year to you.
