~ Gun Fitting ~

I’m sure most of you wish to shoot better and more consistently!
Have you heard of 'gun fit' and wondered what its all about. Basically it comes down to geometry, yes that ugly word you remember from maths at school that some of us dreaded! Well, not me, it was one of my favourite subjects as it came easily to me and I have a minds eye picture of lines and angles which may be invisible to others.
 
Each and every one of us is different in terms of body shape and not all of us aspire to being pasted on the covers of glossy magazines, male or female!
 
Gun manufacturers make standard stocks that will suit part of the population, but not all!  If you sit outside this group its then important to have your gun fit you. The shotgun is not sighted like a rifle so basically your barrels need to be pointed at where your eyes are looking, which means that your head has to be is the right position for this to happen. Other influences also come in to play like hand position, grip style, balance of the gun etc.

When you come to me for a gun fit, I use various methods in shop to check the fit of your gun or more precisely what measurements your gun should be to fit you as an individual. I also take you out to shoot so that we can see whats really happening. “In shop" gun fitting is useful but "actual shooting" is required to see whats really going on. 
 
Its desirable that before you undertake a gun fitting that you have a good grasp on shooting and have developed the necessary skills to shoot a shotgun effectively, especially in mounting a gun correctly and consistently. This may be a  years shooting for a beginner.  Hopefully not too many bad habits have formed during this period and you have been taught by a suitable instructor.

We offer various packages for this...

 
  • You can pop across for a visit, you will need about 3 hours with me. During this time I can give you a set of measurements. If you want your gun altered this will take longer but is all part of the services I provide. I’m located north of Hobart. Jetstar offer very cheap flights and I service clients all around Australia 
 
  • You can have a night with us, bring your partner. We can entertain them with either a shopping trip, a market visit, a winery or two, or even a reiki session. We will pick you up and return you to the airport, cook you dinner, share a wine, lovely appointed guest bedroom room and feed you a hearty breakfast. This is one sure way to score brownie points!

Those keen on more information, please click and follow the links at the bottom of the page or give me a call. 

A reminder you may think postage to be a burden, however it's offset by my quick turn around times and quality workmanship. Drop your gun into your nearest dealer and ask them to send it to me as a repair, presto, its that easy!

Looking forward to sharing the love of guns and new interests in my life with you.

Thank you for your time and please feel free to forward this newsletter to anyone that you think it may be of interest too.

May your grip not slip!

                        woodshavings and linseed oil are the norm.
