Default Hausemann’s 8 gauge event !

Congratulations Shane Hoover with an outstanding 19 of 25 for Champ ! Congratulations to Stan Hoover for a fine 18 of 25 for runner up beating out Mike Smith by long run who also broke 18 of 25 with his new to him 8 gauge he just bought in April and shot for the first time today . We had nine participants in total and I think a good time was had by all !

Congratulations to all of the “weight lifters.” — especially to young Mr. Hoover.

The Hoover boys brought home some serious trophies, Stan having won the Peoples Choice top prize for his beautiful 20 gauge Lifter!

I think Shane grew 3 inches since last year and gained 20 lbs. He has those young sharp eyes and young reflexes. You can see both in how he attacks those birds.

Shane shoots a lot and with heavier loads, and I keep reading cautions here about the "old dry wood" on Parkers. Cracks and split-outs aren't a common problem with Fox guns.

Likewise, just sayin'.

No, Fox guns are made for carrying all day in the field. They are like pump guns and will beat you up over a long day of shooting clay. As for cracks and splits, none of my Parkers had any stock issues. Now if we bring LCS field grade guns into the mix….
