Question for small bore shooters.

[Bill Murphy]

I will only give you a tidbit of information because I normally charge $400 an hour for individual instruction and I don't want to overcharge you. OK, here goes. Light gun, heavy gun, put them in your hands in shooting position. Move the gun with your eyes and your body the same way, regardless of the weight of the gun. Overpower or muscle the heavy gun so that that it feels the same as the light one. Use your eyes to approach the target, not your arms. When you start the heavy gun, don't let the weight of the gun slow you down. Don't swing either gun like it is a bat. The gun is attached to your upper body and should move with the target at the same speed, no matter the weight of the gun. Gun too heavy? Remember, you are a man and shouldn't notice. Gun too light? Don't push the gun at the speed you are physically able to push it. That is too fast. Follow the target with your eyes and pretend that the gun is not there. It is hard to overswing on a target that you are actually seeing well. Why in hell should you swing the gun faster than the target is moveing. Use your eyes to determine how fast the target is moving. OK, that's it. No charge.

I shoot better when I'm aggressive no matter if it's a 12 or a 410.
When I shot registered skeet I used a Beretta 687 EELL with 30 inch barrels and Briley sub gauge tubes. My scores with the 20ga were better and I ended up shooting the 20 in the 12ga event and doubles. Back then we didn't have the lighter 12ga loads we do now.
