4 THINGS YOUR SHOTGUN MUST HAVE...Roger Pace 

I missed your videos Mr Roger I followed you.as.a.novice years ago. I am really glad that you.upload.again

I don't have an adjustable stock. That is a great tip Roger, thank you. I also love that sound!

BRAVO 👏

Good one Roger , what you are saying is the gun must fit, and you must pattern it to make sure it does fit . Patterning a gun for fit is not the same as patterning it to check chokes and loads , although both can be done at the same time . Patterning for fit is to determine where the gun is shooting , left-right , high -low , even to see if it is canted , . Shooting 2 or 3 shots at a freshly painted steel plate from a safe distance will soon show where the gun is shooting , use tight chokes to get the best concentration of shot . I have seen a new o/u shotgun pattern each barrel in a different place , it turned out the top choke was in crooked , and the gun went back for replacement . Don't forget to take the tools needed to adjust the stock . My four essential elements for an O/U shotgun would be an adjustable stock ,a seriously good recoil pad , a mid bead and interchangeable chokes . Cheers Dunc

Thanks Roger, I can’t wait to get back to shooting . Our clay grounds have been shut since Christmas due to lockdown

Thank you for the recommendations Sir!

She looking sharp Roger, love that Beretta

Glad to see you got the ASE all setup now, it looks great. Great video and happy shooting

Morning Roger Another great video. Fitted a mid bead back in Dec but due to lockdown haven`t had a chance to try it yet. Also have a B-fast system ready to fit ,have all the templates made and ready to go however haven`t found the courage to cut the stock yet need a couple of glasses of that Aussie vino to get me going

Hi Roger, I don't necessarily agree that these are "essentials". More than anything you need a gun that suits your personal dimensions and especially the type of shooting you wish to do. I first purchased a 694 Beretta Sporter on the advice it was good for DTL. Bad advice dont listen to gun shops, they are not always your friend. With a lot of changes at the stock I am now considering its continuing ownership. I also now have an older Miroku Mk10 Gd5 Trap and it just fits like a glove. The stock is the right height, the right cast (using the mid-bead), the correct pitch (for DTL) and using a trap recoil pad it really fits well and improved my numbers no end. The LoP is a little short but I can fix that by making an alloy spacer, easy peasy. In Australia we dont generally have shooting schools (at least not here in Sydney) where a number of shotgun brands and types can be tried along side professional unbias advice like found in other countries. Gun shops are only interested in cash grab and there really is nowhere to get independent help and advice. Gun clubs all have a few hire models but a newbie wont know what fits and what doesn't.

Awesome video Rodger good luck on the pattern board

Excellent video as always!

Hello Roger. It's a great "meat and 'taters" video on shotgun fit. You covered the points in an easy to understand manner. If I may what is the significance of you Italia hat? Thanks.

Bravo Roger ! Great looking beretta !! Can't wait to see your pattering tests...

Top video. Loving the gun

Happy for you Mate

Ciao Roger, Other than for proper fit, how can adjusting the comb change the poi since the mid bead ensures proper line-up? As you explained in one of your past videos. Love your channel!

Hey Roger. Did Beretta fit the B-Fast system to your stock? Looking to do the same to my Silver Pigeon. Would you be willing to share how much it cost? Do they cut the original stock, or fit a new stock? Thanks for creating your content!

Roger I have never had a mid bead on my competition guns I have only been on 20 international teams I must have done it wrong all these years

a mid bead is absolutely not essential. in fact I remove mine..

Did you say you are In Australia? What about gun control? Also , are y’all able to buy ammo! Here in the States, anything pertaining to ammunition or reloading, it’s pretty much non existent! Great videos!
