Wisconsin Duck Hunter Switches To A Parker
I am coming down the back stretch as a waterfowler. Decided I would finish out my waterfowl hunting shooting using 100+ year old doubles. My English 1904 pigeon gun was a bit light at 7lb 3oz, and having always been a fan of Nash Buckingham (can't afford an HE Fox), so I decided a newer heavy gun was needed.
Upgrading by three years (hehe), I have just purchased a 1906 DH Parker with 32" barrels and a straight grip (like Nash's), weighing 8lb 4ozs. Since the gun has been restocked and I enjoy shooting over decoys, the right barrel is being opened to .009 and the left .017. Experience has showed this to be a good combo for me.
Having owned a number of Spanish doubles and one English, I am looking forward to getting back to shooting an American double.
I am enthusiastic about being a member of this site.
