Well everybody is built differently, body, eyes, left handed right handed.
Before I left NZ I new nothing about stock fitting. When I started shooting in the uk I did some reading and they all bang on over here about getting your stock fitted. So I thought hey why not! When in Rome
First had my shotgun that I had imported form NZ fitted. I went from being an ok shot, 50% on a clay ground to 75% according to my score cards and a vast improvement in my live game shooting. I’m also hunting less than in NZ where I’d be out most evenings on Dads farm to once a month here.
So judging by my experience id have all shotguns fitted professional. It’s a shame that I never new about this from the start of my hunting as I’d have been far more successful and would have enjoyed it a lot more.
This being a Christmas present for my Dad who has never had a gun fit hopefully he’ll go from his usual battling performance to a day where he can shoot his share with blaming the gun. I’m sure he’ll come up with other excuses![]()
