I guess maybe it more shoot where my nose is pointing though I've seen some wonky noses .... point is, you naturally know where forward is even if your eyes are pointing somewhere else... Im getting back the gun tomorrow to try at the weekend. I feel sorry for my fitter as actually think I'm bit of an nightmare. Practicing at home has probably made it worse as there are just so many ways to mount that feel comfortable and I've ended up cycling through them for some ungodly reason. You can practise your mount at home quite easily, with the use of a large mirror. Stand as you would on a peg or at a clay ground in preparation to shoot. Now close both eyes and mount your gun as you would normally, but at the mirror. Open your eyes. If your shooting eye isn’t visible just above the rib, looking right down it, and back at you, then you’ve got it wrong. If you’re pointing it to the left then you need to move your feet accordingly, ditto for pointing it to the right. You need to practise practise practise until each time you open your eyes, you see your eye looking back at you just above the rib. Do this every night until you’ve got it right, and then keep practising. Every sportsperson of any worth practises their sport endlessly, yet I know many shooters who put their gun away in February and expect to hit stuff with it when they get it out again the following November, and can’t understand why when they can’t! 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltings Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 look at your target sit it on the bead rather than cover it remove the centre bead its a distraction concentrate on the target not the gun you cant hit a ball looking at the bat if it shoots too high left or right for you a stock adjustment is needed shoot it for a few months and then tweak every gun handles different inc balance gun up gun down rubber recoil pad snags your clothing will be inconsistent as hell and more so when colder as more clothes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshireshooter Posted September 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 FYI I got the gun back to try and very happy with how it mounts. first try was a mini competition and I won with 44/50 hes said to bring it back in three weeks where we will pattern it again. I'll be very curious on what he's done. This it was just can't on the pad or something but difference is stark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
