This four-step process includes form and mount evaluation, dry fitting, patterning for gun-fit and live firing at representative targets. The end result is a gun that instinctively shoots where you are looking (at the bird or target), and a huge boost of confidence knowing you have equipment that works! In addition, you will understand the importance of gun fit, how gun fit relates to the rest of the shooting process, and can apply what you have learned to other shotguns you own or may later acquire.

Fit evaluation at the pattern plate shows where the gun is shooting in relation to where the shooter is looking. |

Proper gun fit is one of the most important variables in consistent shotgun shooting and is the foundation from which all other fundamentals are built.
