I absolutely love the figure on the butt stock of the 1915 VH 12. Thanks for sharing!

This gang welcomes anyone who has a love for the guns and can conduct themselves in a civilized manner. It would be great for our organization if more women participated. Thank you for posting. I hope you will continue to add to the discussions.

I haven't seen it mentioned, but do you have the two volume set of The Parker Story? From what you have written it sounds to me like you would enjoy reading the history of production with some insight into the men and women who made them. A search here will provide information. If you can't get to the Southern, the vintage shoot at Hausmann's Hidden Hollow which typically happens the first weekend in June, is another gathering of Parker people. Located in northeast Pennsylvania it draws many members from New England. |

Right Brett, and on October 17 there is a group of PGCA members meeting at Addieville in RI for a shoot.

Kerilynn,
Six of my Parkers are family guns. And when I shoot them I feel the hands of my father, Uncle Bill, or Uncle Taylor upon the barrels guiding the shot. Most of the time I hit the target and I attribute it to them. The guns do have soul and a spirit. Now I beg my New England friends to take Kerilynn and her sons to a clays course with some lite RST loads. Mentor them into the shooting world. Some easy incoming targets easy to break. We need to get this family addicted. Harry |

Brett and Dean, both sound great. I am in Rhode Island, and I know of the Burrilville event- I'm looking into it That is my son's 21 birthday, maybe we will all go.
As for Harry's "call to action"LOL, we belong to the the Ashaway sportsman club, I've just never gone for shooting. Which might sound strange, but we own an indoor range and I tend to shoot handguns. But I now see that I'm going to have to push out of my comfort zone and try the clays. Just know that you will all be subjected to hearing all about it, ad nauseam. Kerilynn |
