In the second part of our series in association with Hull Cartridge, Tom Payne looks at the holy grail of straight shooting - how to achieve a perfect gun mount. Videoed at the Royal Berkshire Shooting School.
Hi all, I am from Turkey. I was struggling with the gun mount more than a year. I don't know how many videos I watched to do it correctly. After I follow the coaches instructions the gun mount become very smooth. Now I feel like the gun is part of my body. Really appreciated.
Hi Patrick, I'm a left handed sporting clay shooter I refer to your video whenever I am having issues . Doing the correct gun mount sure makes a big difference in my score. Thanks
As a CPSA Safety Officer may I suggest that those ear defenders that you’re wearing are worn correctly while shotguns are being fired near you. It isn’t just when we’re about to fire a shotgun that we wear ear defenders but at all times when out on the shooting ground. As well as that some ear defenders may interfere with a gun mount or gun fit. Those new to shooting tend to emulate the more experienced shooters. Let’s not teach them poor practices. Thanks and I look forward to reading your reply. JC
