Harry136 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I coach Clay pigeon shooting at a shooting ground where we do lessons and fun shoots. At the weekend I had a couple for a fun shoot, the lady in question was rather large bussomed and I had great difficulty getting the gun mounted properly to the point that she couldn't put her head fully forward on the stock and so had to compensate. Has anyone got any hints or tips or solutions to this as I'm quite sure that this will occur again in the future and I'd like to know how to deal with it?

WelshAndy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Breast reduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry136 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Maybe for a long term option, the amazons in Greek myth cauterised one of their breasts so they could shoot a bow properly! But i'm looking for a realistic immediate solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Can they ease off the bra tension to allow gravity to work and perhaps this will facilitate gun mount ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry136 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Its a good idea, not sure how well it would go down with the clients though. lol. Any idea is a step in the right direction though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I was aware of a "computer problem" that seemed not to make any sense. The IT fella realised her breasts were making accidental contact with the keyboard so he asked her to make a cup of tea. As soon as she left the room he raised her chair up a bit and problem solved for another year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Pre mount the gun and gently ease the Breast over. Ensure the gun you are using does not have too much or preferably no Toe. Ensure you ask for the OK to invade their personal space before you start putting the gun into place. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Would a shorter/longer stock with more cast help? I'm trying to picture the problem but I'm having trouble concentrating.. Edited February 15, 2016 by FalconFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 As terry very little or no toe pre mount ensuring the shoulder is shrugged place the gun into the pocket. Make sure she is weight onto the front foot not leaning back. Practise if you can't find a lady suitable just ask Sparkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry136 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 A shorter stock may of helped in regards getting her head sat correctly, however since it was a fun shoot using a club gun, its just not workable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the lady undo her bra' often did the job and to this end as we had a caravan close by for them to use and always had a couple of spare shooting vests for them to wear to save any blushes all worked well. That is, until one hilarious incident at Cricket st Thomas near chard in somerset which involved one particularly well endowed young lady of a somewhat sporting nature and that lovely charming gentleman, Chris Craddock. As he is sadly no longer with us to put his side of the story, I shan't repeat it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry136 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I will try it next time! In this womans case if i asked her to undo her bra i don't think her chest would sag enough due to the support from underneath, her body shape was rather circular.

kennym Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 My excuses are as follows: 1: I was sober 2: Her husband was with her 3: I don't go after women who weigh more than i do The above reasons go some way to vindicate your poor show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 If you are brave enough to suggest it to her perhaps a sports bra. These can help squash down and reduce even the biggest heaviest bangers!{ so i am told.} Might have to start wearing one myself before too long!

ehb102 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Tell you what, you can make me an offer for my Browning 425. That was undercut by a gunsmith who thinks women shoot a gun from off their boobs. No more problem ever! Gun with a flat pitch is what you need.

bakerboy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 A sports Bra may firm "them" up a bit, flatten "them" a bit but it will also reduce the available space to place the gun. A good choice of gun, a fitting that will ensure comfort and good sight picture. Mount/position the gun from above the Breast, rather than bring it into position from below and there should not be a problem. Empathy and patience as you would with any person to the sport, male or female will see you through to a successful outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehb102 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Would it help everyone concerned if a video of a large breasted woman wearing a sports bra (no top) and mounting a gun was posted? What kind of gun would it need to be? 20? 12? And what kind of stock? How pointy should the toe be to represent the normal club gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
