I'm having the same struggle with a straight gripped, 30" barrel, VHE 20. Should be a great grouse gun, and no doubt would be with someone else, but I don't think I've hit anything living with the first barrel since I got it. Too much drop. The grouse in this part of northern Canada get little hunting pressure and often just fly to the nearest tree and land. You have to be fast to get a shot off if you want to take them on the wing. If I miss or they make the tree I often end up throwing sticks at them to try to get them to fly. My lab is so confused.
If I just hunted grouse and only used the one gun I'm sure I could get used to it. There are several very nice shooting non Parker 20s and 16s beside it in the safe that need to have their turn though, including a Fox AE 20 that shoots where I look. Tough to let go of the Parker since they don't become available very often up here. |

That's a nice DHE Harold. Man I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this small problem.

I used to use masking tape and cardboard to add dimensions to where I needed on a stock and slip on pads or a padded vest to add some length of pull.Looked like hell but it was the only thing that helped my pre-war Superposed.Now they have much neater and easily removed aids for that sort of thing.

Angel your problem is easily solved, it's called UPS to Michigan
 Seriously though if you think it might have to much drop I have a lace on comb pad I'll lend you. it will take some of the drop out. It worked wonders on a 16ga GHE I had.
