The Short Ten - How many shooting one?

[charlie cleveland]

i would say that your gun is a full choke throwing them kinds of patterns..the short ten is good on anything flying and most animals that walk.....steve glad you fellas like the short ten too...but i guess this round was used first by you fellows on the other side of the pond...charlie

I took my grade 2 10ga hammer gun to a pheasant preserve here in Alaska and had a ball. I let my friend Trigg try it. He had never shot a 10ga, and maybe not a hammer gun, and dusted a pheasant with the first shot. It seemed almost too easy to hit pheasants with that gun.

That has been my experience exactly!

Yes, I do Scott Excellent

FINALLY I did it! Today, the second day of the 2017 Iowa goose season I got a double on geese with my EH short ten. It wasn't the prettiest pair in the air ever shot with a Parker but it was a true pair and a great way to start the season. Now if I can relearn how to post a iPhone picture.

Looks like there are quite a few short 10 "users." I am also one. I have a GH Parker, a 3 grade Hammer Parker (currently at Brad Bacheldor's), an Ithaca Hammer 10, and a W.C. Scott hammer gun in the short ten. Great fall turkey guns, and they'll reach out for high squirrels, too. I shoot the lightest loads from RST and have started setting up to reload my own.

Count me in too. Just setting up my re-loader today

I just the thread again and realized( or maybe missed it ) I have not added my GH grade 2 frame with 28 inch bbls, gun weighs 7 1/4 lbs... I also picked up a 32 inch Greener that weighs in at around 11 lbs ,the Parker is a 10 you could carry all day !
