DHE 20/24

[Bruce Day]

For Erick:

1910, choked .004 and .010, ordered to provide "good patterns at 25 and 30 yards". Original 24.

Some photos show it paired with a DHE 20/32.

Its an easy gun to carry and shoot. I don't get it when some people talk that they can't shoot short barreled guns. You just shoot it a few times to get the feel of it and don't worry about it. Misses are not the fault of the gun.

A 28/24 may be in my future.

Very nice Bruce.

Are your initials WBD as on the case? Nice case too.

I also shoot short barreled guns well (for me). I have a couple of English guns with 25" and several Parkers and a Fox with 26" barrels.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to post those pictures.

Best,

Mike

I've hunted with Mike. He seldom misses.

Bruce,
Thank-you a very good looking gun. No doubt a fun one to carry and use. I appreciate the additional photos, especially the checkered butt. While I've seen plenty of photos with such treatment, some of which were suspect, I haven't ever picked up a parker that actually was finished that way.
Best,
Erick

Correct Parker checkered butts are in the pictured pattern. I suspect most of the aftermarket checkered butts were done that way because it was easier and cheaper than a skeleton butt.

"misses are not the fault of the gun"
Bruce, what am I supposed to use as an excuse now?

[Bruce Day]

The way to deal with these light, fast handling bird guns is to accept the "good shot" praise of your companions when you make the shot, and when you miss, tell them these short barreled guns are too whippy and hard to shoot.

BD in all the photos you have a whistle around your neck; please post a photo of your dog! Great gun...thanks for the post. Regards, Andy
