OK, I'm forced to do it. My mug shot from Trap and Field August 2004. Twelfth place out of over 2k shooters in the Penna Handicap Championship. Missed 2 in a row from my favorite post or I would have been shooting for the championship. As it was, I had to go 4 extra rounds to just get twelfth place.

Chuck finishing 12th out of 2000 is incredibly good shooting. My greatest claim to fame was at the 1995 Maine State Shoot where I broke 667 out 700 targets (300 singles, 200 Handicap, 200 doubles) over 3 days and won the High Overall Average which is an "Open" trophy to all shooters attending. There were five shooters tied with 666 and I am glad I did not know that when I called pull for target 700. They didn't even put my picture in Trap & Field

LOL! Ya that was back when I had a bit more hair (and yours probably had some color, oh wait white is a color

)

I shot a straight grip GH I got from Scott Kittredge in the singles on the preliminary day of the 2007 Maine State. Using a Parker double in an ATA shoot brought a lot of stares and questions. I didn't win anything but broke a 95 and felt good about that as I had not shot registered in several years prior.

I would assume the trigger housing and hammers would have to be modified some what. Did yours have a separate trigger floor plate?

Chuck, that might have been me. I still have the Parker sbt with the release trigger in it. I thought that I would hate it but after shooting it for a while, I loved it. It is the best release trigger that I have. I shoot alot of different trap guns with release triggers now and this one is my favorite. Our club has a spring league and a fall league that are pretty large and I have been lucky enough to finish in the top three over the past three years in both leagues with this gun. I am leaving the release in until the wife sells it after I am gone. Than hopefully it find someone who loves it as much as I did.

Pete,

That's a great High Overall score, congratulations and shooting a 95 with a GH configured as a field gun, I assume, is something to be proud of too.
