I shoot sporting clays pretty much every Monday and Wednesday with a group of guys...the group ranges from 6 or 8 to 10 to 12 people.
Most retired and of all statue and varying ages most between 50 to 75.
When shooting I watch people...I most likely won't say anything about their mount, stance, swing, choice of gun or even how much lead like most will.
There's a newer shooter of smaller statue about 5'8"....when he started shooting he was shooting an older 26" Remington O/U. I noticed he was really fast and accurate with the gun most every day out. A real contender in our group with his short barreled gun.
I know he had some re-thinking their lOng barrel mOnkey see choices.
Wasn't long that he went to a shooting school put on by one of the worlds greatest English shots....shortly there after he came out to the club with a really pretty Ceasar Gureni 30" O/Ur(eYe bet I miss spelled that).
Back to observing....bOy that's a pretty gun (even had a little gun envy going on for a brief minute or two).
Now he's turned into more of a hit or totally miss shooter. He's on one station totally off at another.
I asked him the other day if he didn't think he shot his old 26" gun more consistent. He said he thought he did but his potential was greater with the longer gun.
Thinking about getting me an old golf bag on wheels...put my 32" and my 28" gun in the bag.
Kinda like having a driver and a putter.
