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, you must control your front arm so that the gun does not pivot on its axis. The rear hand must not dominate the mount.
Pitch angle
The angle between rib and buttpad determines the degree of pitch. The pitch angle of a shotgun was traditionally determined by placing it on the ground with its breech 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
A key part of shotgun shooting success is mounting a shotgun at a target's contact point. In order to make accurate shots, the shotgun's barrel should be pointed at the target. There are several ways to do it, but the easiest is to just mount it at your target's contact point. In this article, we'll talk about how to do that.
Dry-fire
Dry-fire gun mounting is an invaluable training tool. It lets you develop an efficient mount while focusing on the target and a neutral gun position. A dry-fire mount requires a shotgun. Use a dryfire mount with care. To ensure safety, DryFire must be used in a well-lit area. Although dry-fire shotgun mounting is not likely to produce excessive heat, it will not cause any harm to the gun.
Every time, it's perfect
There are many ways to make sure your mount is perfect every time. One of these is to practice as much as possible, ideally for a few minutes a day. A daily practice time of five minutes will give you more than 30 minutes each week. To avoid alarming your neighbors, mount your gun on the corner of the ceiling. This will make it easier to move the gun around if necessary.
