One, Parker did not have skeet 1 and skeet 2. Winchester had skeet 1 and skeet 2 and they didn't care which one was shot first and at what bird. In skeet shooting, only doubles are shot outgoer first. In singles, the incomer was shot first on stations 5, 6, and 7. If a single trigger gun was used, the shooter would have to work the selector or shoot one barrel at a time. At some point, they are so confused that they would miss or get caught with an empty chamber. The reality is that high average skeet shooters didn't care which barrel they were shooting. They could hit the bird with either barrel. "Selector shooters" in early skeet are like sporting clays shooters today who change their chokes at every station. They are not very good shots. By the way, skeet 1 is not the tighter barrel, it is the more open barrel. Dean, in early skeet, the outgoer was the longer bird, and would be shot with the more choked barrel, skeet 2 in a Winchester or skeet out in a Parker. In today's skeet world, both birds are shot at the same range if the shooter is competent.
