Gun Fitting Help in the Midlands?

[UNiCAD]

Pigeon watchers help me please!!!

 

Over the last six weeks my clay shooting has hit rock bottom from a regular 40ish out of 60 bird sporting shooter to a now 28ish out of 60 (Wergs / Hilton / Cross gun clubs etc) and I am getting more and more disheartened with my shooting every week.

 

I shoot a right handed 30" Browning GTI Ultra prestige which has an adjustable comb and I have the trigger set forward as much as possible to give an approx Length of pull of 15" with the standard Browning stock plate, I don't suffer at all from recoil, shoot out of the shoulder all the time and like to see a flat rib down the barrel.

 

I am a stocky build of six foot and quite wide shouldered, when i bought the gun I had a very basic visual down the barrel fitting (Premier Guns) with what felt right for me and required the comb to be adjusted as far across as possible, I was told that i may even need a little more cast but to try it for a few months and see how i got on.

 

Its now 8 months on and I am thinking that a gun fitting session may be beneficial for me, i have packed out the standard butt plate over Christmas with washers (approx 10mm) to see if this improves my shooting but sadly not a great deal in the last two shoots,

 

Where do I go from here?

 

I am looking for someone who can possibly look at my gun mount, watch me shoot a few clays, pattern plate the gun if needed and advise / carry out any work on the gun should it be required.

 

I am also prepared to travel if I have to but I don't want to just be fed a load of b******t! and have the gun fitted if its not really necessary, I get the impression there are a lot of people out there who talk the talk!

 

Any help would be very greatfuly recieved from a totally frustrated shooter!

 

Thanks

Is it worth going to Wisemans Gun shop in Bridge Town, Cannock ? Get them to look at your mount.

^^^^ as above go to wisemans.

Shoot gun premounted to see if that makes any difference as it will be already lined up, if you a

Already do that check you are still moving the gun, not lifting your head etc, best thing is go and spend some time on the skeet range but don't just go and do a round , practice stand 1 over and over again, then stand 2 etc, it will really build confidence when you move into the stands that require lead, if the gun is in your shoulder and you are looking flat down the rib then it fits you, gun fit only goes out when you mount then shoot

Get yourself up to Millride and get some practice in as sishyplops suggested.
