Thread: Point it right between my eyes - WTF?

The biggest problem with Gunfit Voodoo is that to achieve perfection you must have first perfected your gun mount .
Pre mounted clay games like Skeet and DTL allow the shooter to get the exact position and to repeat it every time .
Shooting gun down like Sporting and in field Hunting situations doesn't allow any time , your gun movement and mount must be spot on every time .
Even the Gunfit Voodoo Gurus will get you to shoot the gun at a pattern plate to confirm their adjustments .
While many profess to know how to fit a gun to someone in reality there a very few who actually know what they are doing .

Cause no one shoots it

Maybe? Mud-pie, trench and skeet shooters hate it coz it is to hard and protests for a 3mm target variation are not allowed.

I find the hardest thing about shooting Skeet and Trap is getting in the right frame of mind and headspace .
I find it really hard to make myself Grumpy , visibly unhappy with my day , continuously moaning about my score and a general pain in the arse to everyone around me .
As I get older I think these things will come more naturally to me , but until then it is a battle .

I will never forget shooting a round of skeet with a bloke that got pretty grumpy when he missed, he would throw his empties pretty hard into the bin. He was warned about it. One day he had one bounce out and hit the ref right between the eyes and knocking his $800 High Defs off, face down on to the concrete.

Ohh I don't think even I could be that grumpy, I have only ever shot sporting at our little gathering/club and we have our own "rules" which vary depending on the day / who's in attendance. We have 7 traps with wireless remote located in a hill side / gully.
We also have "special rules for the "Point Score" Rounds.
I seem to be able to shoot with better results at Simultaneous pairs and Report pairs than the long crossing shots. No time to think = hit, anything else = miss

If I can find a "someone my next gun will be fitted by someone other than the "Salesman".

Murray Cameron in Wellie

He used to fit all Holland and Hollands customer guns that weren't Holland and Hollands ( if that makes sense)

An ACTUAL apprenticed gunsmith in the UK ( not a backyarder)

What tri-gun does he use for measurement do you know? Does he use lasers or shooting for confirmation?
