Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Top Lever Pheasant Hunt
I decided to carry a Top Lever 12 Gauge today and harvested a nice December Minnesota Rooster. It was a one shot, one bird hunt. I was shooting Remington's Low Recoil 1 1/8oz of #7 1/2's. I find this factory load to be a very mild shooting load for the older twist barrels.
The specifics on the gun are:
Quality T Top Lever (Fish Tail Lever) 12 gauge with 28" Plain Twist Barrels choked tight (.025) and tight (.027) on a #1 frame with a weight of 7 lbs. The gun was shipped to Boston in 1892 for a price of $55. It is a joy to carry in the field.
