well said stan, I gave the "old college try" for 2 years with guns that don't fit closely enough. I knew something was wrong, I do not want to wound birds, I shot a dozen shells at least one day while we moved 20 woodcock, and missed everything. My wife noticed that I wasn't shooting as well either. The one thing the fitter said is if your barrels aren't regulated and shoot low on a rising bird, or clay pigeon, you will never shoot well. My head is so large, when I started shooting again I thought if old guns have more drop, then that should help. Stan your right, its a complicated process which is why I could not or would not type everything here, the fitter gave me a study journal which really explained everything better. What I liked about this fitter is he would go out of his way to help me shoot my old guns better, and he wasn't trying to sell me anything. The other issue I had right off 3 years ago was no line bifocals when I shoot the top part of the frame of my glasses is in the way. The gun fitter now doesn't want a customer to take his shooting school unless they have the right type of glasses. There are also video's online that help explain this process. I did not want to give out the fitters name or video in case I was breaking some rules in here. Thanks again Stan
