[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1795102, member: 78438"] That rabbit hole runs deep, but the answer is yes. If your just looking to knock down some birds or ink some clays for fun, you don't need to do that. Shotgun fit is more important that precision rifle fit....imo. I can get behind a rifle that doesn't fit me well and make a few adjustments to my form and still shoot it pretty well. I can't do that with a shotgun. The spread (or choke) that you choose does matter, but you still have to find your target and hit it, the more natural that happens, the better. People spend a lot of money on shotguns (more than any precision rifles I know of). A lot of this is just feel, how it pulls up and how your sight picture is without trying to get it right. Put the gun to your shoulder and pull it up with your eyes shut, get comfortable and then open your eyes. If your all lined up your probably gto. If your way off, try another shotgun and see if it naturally lines up better for you. That's a really, really basic way to see if the gun fits, some will fit better than others, if you want to get more into fitting than that, you can go as far as want. [/QUOTE]
