Are you shooting FITASC ?

[Bruce Hering]

I like FITASC a lot. It is a game that keeps you awake with target presentations very different at time from regular sporting. The "low gun" ready is really with the comb/top of the butt stock heel at a line about where your "nipples" are on your chest. So, its not down at your waist like Int. Skeet.

There is a trick on the targets..... Rule says you cant move your gun until the target is visible..... Sooooo..... remember where the traps are and how the target is thrown and time it. If I can see the arm move on a trap the target is visible.....

I could go on but it is/was a fun game for me.

I missed this thread....I am still in summer mode. I am very new and already very fond of FITASC. I have never had so much fun missing...

It's a great excuse to get those tight choked guns out of the safe. I do find it harder to switch back and forth between sxs's(like I do when I shoot sporting clays). For me I do like the stock to be just a little bit shorter than I might use with a mounted position. That way it just slides up when you call pull(a little easer in my mind). So far my best gun for FITASC has been a 20ga 30" VH choked F/F with a straight stock.

I think the low gun mount is good practice for hunting. I have found while you think you have to rush, it is better to take your time for a good mount then shoot.

It is also a good excuse to get the 12 gauges out. We have been shooting mostly small bore, but next time I am going to bring a 12ga hammergun. I do want to try a small bore FITASC course and see how that is, I am sure it will be fun.
