farmerguy.22 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 So after a couple of poor outings at lakenheath and an abismal round at the essex masters yesterday i would like to get my gun properly fitted, even if just to eliminate that as being the problem!! So Jamie, Martin or anyone else, where would you say is best to go around this area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 To have a gun fitted correctly you need a try gun, the only person around here that I know of with one is Radcliffes in colchester. I would book a lesson with Robert and then take your measurements to Jim Spalding on mersea to do the alterations. There probably is someone in your area, but I can't help with that.

Wookie Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I heard that Simpsons in Newmarket do fitting, but that might just be hearsay. You actually beat me to posting the same question. I shot a terrible 55/100 on Saturday and it looks as though I have been hit in the cheek with the butt of a gun, so I need to go to someone to get the fit checked and adjusted. SimonP said he knew of a guy that could do fitting too (as I remember slowly). I'll give him a shout and see if he can pass on the details. Whereabouts in Suffolk are you by the way?

farmerguy.22 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Whereabouts in Suffolk are you by the way? A mile or so outside of Stowmarket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Suffolk Shooter has his gun professionally fit not that long ago... no hang on, that was it, he had strings, a fret board and adjustable bridge added to turn it into a banjo. Those cows better watch out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Did he have trouble hitting their ***** with it then? *grin* FarmerGuy. I'm originally for Bealings, but now live in Huntingdon. I'm really missing the 16 acres of paddock I used to have as a back garden now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonp Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 SimonP said he knew of a guy that could do fitting too (as I remember slowly). I'll give him a shout and see if he can pass on the details. Wookie Indeed I do. Although I've not used him yet, my stepbrother highly recommends this chap: Sam Grice Long Acres Shooting School Mill Road Great Wilbraham (just next to Newmarket) Cambs 01223 359856 07850876826 He does lessons, brushups, problem solving, etc etc and has a try-gun in order to set you up right. I plan on taking a couple of lessons, getting the try-gun fitted and then taking the numbers and my gun to the local gunsmith for sorting out.
