Thread: First go at trap shooting today

It's pretty hard to trial a whole. Inch though isn't it? How do you tell if they 'fit'?

Find someone that fits shotguns our knows what there talking about.....not she be right mate cause it's not
What your trying to do is throw a ball to hit another ball in mid air if the shoes don't fit you won't hit.
The fitting process will go against every thing that you have been taught about firearms in NZ.
It goes like this.
1 Take the shotgun that you want fitted unload it and show it to the fitter that it's unloaded!!!
2 The the fitter then stands in front of you, you close eyes and then mount the gun and open your eyes. You should not move your head.
Your eye should be looking straight done the barrel and only seeing the bead. The fitter can then tell how and what needs doing to the stock. Quite often you will point the UNLOADED gun straight at them. This is normal but very unnerving and against the grain.
