Chad,
A wonderful experience for both of you. That Parker will be treasured by him forever I'm sure.

RWTF, good eye. Yes, he was shooting a well used Parker VH 20 gauge. This weekend was actually his first time shooting double triggers, he complained at first but quickly learned to appreciate them. The stock on this gun needs a new butt plate and some refinishing, and at 13 years of age, I think he will enjoy helping with this project. Perhaps down the line, the barrels will be sent off for refinishing.

Yes- thanks for your kind comment. I also noted in another photo where he is holding the Parker with breech open- the std. "Doll's head" rib extension- not found on the Trojan series. A friend, we hunted grouse together in the 1975-1985 time frame here in MI- has his "family Parker"- a 20 bore VHE- open choked for quails- now he lives in GA- still uses it for quail and dove, and will, someday, pass it on to his Grandson-- nice tradition indeed.

That is excellent! I was there and it was great to see your son shoot and then win the raffle gun! Hope to see you both next year too!

The VH 20 was a good honest gun and the kind I have for my collection.
