[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 2732992, member: 103317"] I had a passion for shooting sporting clays for years. I started shooting shotguns around the age of eight and was always quite good with them. When I started shooting sporting clays I learned that the gun has to fit the shooter, no exceptions or they will never shoot the shotgun well. The shotgun needs to be an extension of your arm, it flows with the motion of your body as you track an intercept the target. It has to point where you eye is looking and it has to do it effortlessly in order to work correctly. If you have to compensate because it is to long or to short or the cast is wrong you will never be an effective wing shooter. You can probably hit squirrels and rabbits and slow moving targets but when it comes to fast moving targets the fit is everything. If you talk to any serious clay shooter, no matter what the discipline, they will tell you that there shotgun fits like a glove. My suggestion would be to find a competent gunsmith in your area and have him measure you and fit the gun to you. There is no better feeling than crushing targets with a shotgun, whether it be clays or upland birds, its just spectacular. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
