Thread: Burris speedbead/fast fire

Gunfit is all well and good when you wear similar clothing to what you were fitted in, all the time. Most people dont. Serious clay shooters generally do. Most game guns on the market have a reasonable short LOP and a straight stock to accommodate an increase in clothing and standardise fit. There are plenty of after market aids to lengthen or shorten guns to suit the abnormally large or small framed people among us.
IMHO the most important skill and habit you can develop is a perfect gun mount. A smooth, fluid and consistent mount in all situations will bag more game and hit more targets.
keeping your head hard down on stock and never taking your eyes off the target is also a must.
What ever style you shoot to hit a moving target the gun has to be in the same place in the end.
One of the biggest myths is the difference in shooting requirements when going from lead to steel or vice versa. Always cracks me up that one. I have shot the same style as long as I can remember and have never had to adjust anything for either. I dont concern myself with patterns, in fact I have not patterned a gun since I was 16. And I definitely dont worry about what lead I need as it is already calculated subconsciously as I assess the target and mount the gun and fire.
Everyone who is not blind has this ability in them already, they just dont trust what their eyes are telling them.
If your serious about improving your gamebird hunting results as far as shooting goes and missing or wounding less birds then get yourself off to a gunclub, shoot some skeet or God forbid some mudpies and ask for and accept advice that will be given for free. Then choose what suits you and work on it. Of course seek out someone with proven shooting and coaching ability.
If you are still stuggling ask for a recognised coach and maybe you have to pay a small fee in order to improve your sport and confidence.
