I won the "Hunter Class" side by side Nebraska State Sporting Clays
Not posting to brag...did it with the old Parker 16ga, 100 years old this year. (Parker, not me)
Pretty sure I was only one at entire event with a 16ga |

This year I decided to shoot my side by sides at every event I shoot in. I can say that it’s really been an enjoyable shooting season so far. I shot my first skeet tournament (third time ever shooting skeet) two weeks ago with my Rizzini BR550 16ga. I wound up taking the runner up spot out of 150 shooters. I haven’t seen the scores change all that much from my over under. There are a few presentations that give me problems, but I’m working on it. Looking forward to the next shoot. |

Awesome job. What chokes are you using for competitive skeet in your 100 year old Parker? Fixed, or did you go to screw-in chokes? I don't shoot competitive skeet, but will shortly be parking my Citori and getting out the SXS's in preparation for bird season. |

Nice job, Hootch.
I tried my 870 in the pump class at the Lobster Classic in Rhode Island and got my butt handed to me this year!! |

I did not know that they hunted Lobster with a gun in RI. I was born there some 67 years ago so it doesnt surprise me. |
