You'll be glad you did! And remember to keep the bead out of your peripheral vision while shooting! These tips will make your shotgun mounting experience as painless and enjoyable as possible.
Gun down
It takes a lot of finesse to mount a shotgun correctly. This is especially true when you're using a hunting or sports shotgun. The first is to ensure you are not bent over backwards. This could cause the muzzle's height to exceed your line of sight. Second, your front arm must be controlled so that the gun doesn't pivot on its axis and 'cartwheel.' Last but not least, the rear hand must not dominate your mount.
Pitch angle
The angle between the buttpad and rib is called the degree of pitch. Historically, a shotgun's pitch angle was determined by placing the gun on the floor with its breech end against a wall. Nowadays, gun stands come with adjustable ribs that allow you to alter the angle. For proper pitch, the angle between the butt pad and rib should be angled at a 90 degree angle or less.
Contact Point
Shotgun shooting is only possible if you aim your gun at the target. For accurate shots, your shotgun should be pointed at the target's contact point. There are many ways to accomplish this, but it is easiest to mount your shotgun at the target. In this article, we'll talk about how to do that.
Dry-fire
Dry-fire mounted shotguns are a great training aid. This helps you focus on the target while also allowing you to build a mount. It is necessary to have your own shotgun in order for you to use dry-fire mounting devices. Use a dryfire mount with care. For safe operation of the DryFire, ensure that you use the proper lighting. Dry-fire shotgun mounting does not produce excessive heat, but it is not harmful to the gun.
It's all about getting it right the first time
There are many tips that will ensure your mount is flawless every time. One tip is to practice as often as possible, ideally for just a few moments each day. If you spend just five minutes a days, it will be more than 30 mins a week. If possible, mount your shotgun on a corner of the ceiling to avoid alarming neighbours. This will give you the ability to reposition your shotgun as needed.
