Default First-ever 25 at Skeet, with a Parker!

I shot my first 25 at skeet today, and did it with my recently purchased 1902 GHE! It is my first, and thus far only Parker. The gun fits so well, instead of using my K-80 for league competition today, I tried the Parker. Needless to say, this gun will be with me for life, and hopefully spend many happy years with my son and grandchildren!

Many thanks to the PGCA and this forum. Without you I would likely never have purchased what is now a treasured shotgun that will accompany me to the range and field until I've fired my last shot. And of course, to the craftsman at Parker, long since past, you built one fine gun

Good job!

I was feeling really good a couple weeks ago when I shot a 23 with a 1873 Parker lifter 12.

Thanks, gents. It felt great and doubly so doing it with a Parker. Brian, a 23 with a hammer gun. Outstanding! I believe that will be next for me, a hammer gun.

Great job and well done!

I also shot my first ever 25 on the skeet field with a VH 12 with light loads 7/8oz. This past summer.
