Default Parker’s at Trap

Well thanks to John Davis I’m hooked on trap shooting. That has me wondering how many of you shoot your Parker’s at either informal trap shoots or registered targets? If you do what’s your go to gun and let’s see a pic or two.

They have or had a fifty bird SxS only event at the Virginia State Trapshoot . Danny Patton and i shot it the first two years they did it and he won the event the second year with a 49 out of 50 . Patton shot a circa 1913 VH 12 gauge 2 frame 32” XF/XF I foolishly sold him , that gun had modern dimensions I’m sure someone ordered it as a pigeon gun . I shot my plain old VH 2 frame 12 gauge 30” F/F .

Our group tries to squeeze in a round of Chinese Trap every Friday morning. There are many great guns used in our competition.

Mike,

I have been shooting competitively with a Trojan with .030 & .040 constriction and a VH with .030 and .042. I took home $35 from a farm boy shoot yesterday with the Trojan. 1oz-7 1/2-1180

Orphan Annie. She may have a cropped barrel but she breaks 'em just fine when the operator does his part.

I believe this GH 12 was intended for trap. Straight grip, high dimensions, 32" barrels. Shipped to EK Tryon. It performs well on trap. I got close to getting one of the SBT's in the Morphy auction

This is what I use for trap when I need to do my inadequate best.

1905 CHE 30 inch , originally went to Pacific Iron and Steel in Los Angeles as a no safety but it went back to have a safety added. Original wood, original barrel browning and case colors. High dimension stock and I think it has always been a target gun. I had a new rubber pad installed but kept the crusty , hard and dried original.

Maybe there was somebody at Pacific Iron and Steel who was a shooter. There is a Pacific Sporting Guns in San Bernardino, I called them but was told there was no connection.
