We have a similar setup in the Detroit suburbs. It's also set up to shoot at night, with special lighting and special targets. Crazy hard!

I bought it a little over a year ago. 2023 was a great year for me, I made some great upgrades both Parker and Fox. I sold off a bunch of great guns to upgrade. Collecting guns is a marathon, it takes time.
I love grade 5 guns, the sweet spot in Parkers line up in my opinion.

My hat’s off to you folks who shoot through the Winter months up North and beyond. That’s true dedication. I can manage it down here in the Deep South, but Cold and Wind are not my friends.

I kinda wondered how you tough duck hunters were going to handle the wind and temperature this morning.

A good decision to do the inside, radiant heated 5 stand instead.

And your other choice would be shooting the Rochester Brooks Sporting Clay's course pretty much in the windy, cold and wide open. That would not be nice!

Yeah, nice gun.
