Do you mean Austin Healey Sprite? Triumph made the Spitfire.

The Triumph sprite is a good comparison, but when you have clean kills, the Ferrari comes to mind..... every time!

I've had the great pleasure of watching Jim swat many a pigeon & dove over the last few years.

I can attest to his skills with a shotgun & wouldn't doubt for a second what he claims about the .410 in his hands. Jim is the real deal as a shotgun shootist !!!

Jim,
I don't doubt Paul's assessment of your shooting skills. Please bring your talent to bear against the Fox boys in the next PFC event. Merry Christmas.

Thank you Paul,
I was thinking about Argentina again this morning while listening to Christmas Carols. I am exited about the Las Vegas Show, and will have a table there. Recently bought a round body Rizzini, the older hand engraved model in 28 ga with 30" bbls. I am thinking this is the medicine for those grey creatures that are indeed trying to bankrupt farming in Argentina. DeOra and I are fine, and hoping that rascal Jim would come this way with his lovely bride so we could share a cigar and a brandy and lie about how well we shoot.

Jim,

I've been thinking of you and DeOra as well lately.

I had my composed pair of Rizzini's out the safe the other day & thought about how we need to get another Argentina trip scheduled. I know Dr. Tom will be up for it! It's just too bad .410 ammunition is so costly down there. It would be great fun watching you put on a shooting exposition pounding spotted wing pigeons with the .410

MERRY CHRISTMAS:
to any Parker person that reads this. It is my hope that I will meet each and every one of you at one time in my life. And at my age I had better get started. I don't know how to do it but I got a dove double with a Parker 410, as well as pigeons. I was hoping to do a double on pheasants, but that would be impossible, or I would have to shoot planted birds............not my style!
