Gunfitting

Essential book for amateur and professional shooters. Rifle fitting now included.

Expert shooting coach, teacher, and competitor Don Currie delivers a solid book on gunfitting based on a lifetime of experience gained from working with Orvis and Purdey. Don knows that shooting with a properly fitted shotgun is critical to a shooter's success, and he delivers on the art and science of fitting proper shotguns. The science requires the gunfitter to understand the structure of the shooter's body and what stock specifications are needed to accommodate the shooter's physique. To master the art of the process, the fitter must understand how shooters shoot and how the eye and brain see and read the target. The fitter must critically evaluate the shooter's stance, mount, and level of experience along with taking into consideration the shooter's discipline and style and how the shooter will develop and evolve.

The reader will learn how to match his or her shot gun to correct body movement and discover why gunfit and proper training are inseparable.Shotgun shooters can develop numerous bad habits, due to poor form or a mismatched gun, while shooters new to the sport who have little experience with shotguns - or a lot of experience with rifles -0 often find that mounting and swinging a shotgun defy the instinct to aim and shoot. Author Tom Deck, who has diagnosed the problems of many strudnets in his Orovis Shoooting Schools, understands these issues. With this book he seeks to break down problems and build a new shotgun shooter from the ground up 0 from proper foot placement to the way a shooter sees and comprehends a clay target or bird. Great shooters aren;t born - they're made, by capitalizing on natural talents and a willingness to learn, and that's where the Orvis Method comes in. Just relax, and always keep the shotgun moving.

Stock Fitter's Bible was written for one purpose, to help clay target shooters improve their scores. As you read you will understand why the book has received so many rave reviews. Coaches and trainers teach specific gun mounts, stances and body postures (shooting forms). To shoot up to your full potential, you must use a correct form. To do that, your gun must have stock dimensions that allow someone of your individual size and shape to use the form. If your gun doesn't fit you, a correct form cannot be used - it's that simple. To help you shoot better, the book explains step by step, how your gun can be made to fit you. When it fits, you can expect smoother, more accurate swings, higher, more consistent scores and reduced felt recoil. It also explains how to see targets better, how to effectively visualize targets before calling for them, ways to reduce stress and to postpone fatigue. Almost anyone can improve their shooting. Stock Fitter's Bible explains how to do it.
