Thank you Sam. I use a L.C. Smith Ideal Long Range 32" F&F, DT, AE for my "longish shots" at tower shoots, where we can still use lead loads. I have a stand partner who has a DHE 12- also 32" F&F, as is your fine Parker gun. Sometimes we "trade guns" between stands, I can shoot my Smith a tad better as it has a straighter stock- less DAH--
Our club rule is- actions open, guns unloaded between stands- There we might get 35-40 yard shots-- On those birds, if I can see the wing feathers in flight, they are "in range" for me--
