very interesting and timely question for me. I had been switching through a few different game guns and somehow got sloppy with my gun mount and started getting recoil averse. I am a sxs guy, so I bought a big heavy gun to help absorb recoil. I shoot it at one of my local clubs and suck, badly. I play around with the pitch and try it at a different course and I am in the high 80 low 90 %. Back to the original course, still mediocre. What is the difference? Well the original course is set up with the majority of shots quick small window shots. The second course has more variety but also more targets are longer, can be seen for a time before shot. So I had been thinking a sporting course can actually be game gun friendly.
