[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 885395, member: 35183"] Do you shoot a muzzle loader ? Because thats where I learned the techniques to shoot that worked just the same with a slug gun. The weapon needs to be shouldered firmly. With the non trigger hand, grip the fore-end and pull the stock back tight into your shoulder. It IS different to shooting any rifle I have ever shot. Learning to get half respectable results with a muzzle loader was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Once you have the technique down, provided you hold the weapon the same way (regardless of whether you use anything to stabilize your aim) - you will get the same results. If you think you can just let a ML or slug gun lie on a rest, point it in the right direction and let loose, there is a steep learning curve ahead. I am glad I did my learning with a ML, since it is considerably cheaper than paying close to $3/shell for the shotgun. In my case I put about 2lb of black powder and many different sabot slugs downrange before I got it figured out. With many of the inline ML out there, once you have the technique down, the only difference between them and the shot gun is the availability of a follow up shot.. [/QUOTE]
