I will admit, I have been tempted by Frank's RH sauce- but as I go by Francis here, and not Frances or Frank, I will stick with the Best--your product. I am a M12 man at heart, but do own and shoot 12 gauge Parkers and LC Smiths as well. I am also a blues (Mississippi Delta) and Cajun music man- I play guitar and also dobro- played for a Cajun dance with a new group last Saturday- after a great potluck- rice paliff, beans and rice, okra, turnip greens, three styles of jambalya, and in honor of the late Hank Williams, even crawfish pie. So the word about the great good things from the Pelican State has spread up Nawth--
I see quite a few "using Parkers" mainly 12 bores in my travels, so if you are looking for something, send me a PM here and if I can help you, I will be most pleased to do so.
I was 12 when I shot my first duck- My dad and grandfather gave me a 20 gauge Model 12 field gun- 28" mod for my 11th birthday (I still have it) Dad and I were in our canoe on the arm of a point jutting into Grass Lake, opening day morning in October- no decoys, I had a 3 shot plug in my 20- Dad had his 12 gauge Model 12 Tournament Grade 30" full solid rib and was sitting in the back seat.
Dawn came in on a pinkish blush in the East, the cloud cover was low, and I heard a "swissssh-" behind me- I brought up the M12- 5 bluewing teal were flying in line- like barnyard geese following their leader- I swung the muzzle a "mile to Mexico" ahead of the lead bird and hit the trigger, and the fourth bird in the "string" collapsed onto the choppy water- the other four were probably in Topeka when I recovered- Dad said to me: "Nice shooting, Son"- He never asked me which bird I had picked out either!
I shall do that indeed, Ed!
