Gun Fitting
​
Why should you get a gun fitting?
​
-
Along with the correct style of shooting, the two most important elements in being consistent and successful with a shotgun are a properly fitted gun and proper practice.
​
-
Without a properly fitted gun it is impossible to reach your full shooting potential no matter what your shooting style, or how much you practice. Poor shooting in situations where a quick shot is the required, such as in grouse or woodcock hunting or sporting clays is quite often the fault of a poorly fitted gun.
​
-
The combination of a well-made and a properly fitted gun will be a major factor in the improvement of your shooting and making your sport more enjoyable. It affords some degree of solace to know that the bird or clay was missed as a result of some error in form you can improve, rather than the result of a poorly fitted gun.

​
What is involved?
​
-
We begin the process with instruction on the proper "STYLE" of shooting. (The proper "style" of shooting is made up of three factors: stance, grip, and mount.)
​
-
You will then shoot one of the Try-Guns until your proper fit and measurements are achieved.
​
-
Cartridges are provided for whichever try-gun you shoot.
​
-
You will also have the opportunity to pattern your gun if you so desire.
What do you walk away with?
​
-
Measurements are taken from the Try-Gun and recorded on a certificate for your personal records and kept on file at Woodcock Hill for future reference. You can use that information to check the measurements of your existing guns and perhaps have the required adjustments made to your guns.
​
-
In the event you are going to have a new gun manufactured, you can provide these measurements to the gunmaker for that perfect bespoke fit.
​
-
You will also be provided with all pertinent measurements of the gun you bring including choke measurements, bore dimensions, barrel wall thickness, length of pull, drop and cast.

A Try-Gun fitting session normally takes about 4 hours.
