Gun fit can be a tricky thing due to all the variables involved. You can shoot a particular gun really well in warm weather when you're wearing light clothes and then have troubles in a cold weather hunting situation when you have heavier cold weather gear on. Then you have guys like me who have fought weight issues their entire life where their weight & body size fluctuates back and forth, which believe me when I say it does affect gun fit.

Due to these variables. I've just learned to adjust my shooting style to the particular gun I'm shooting at the time. This doesn't necessarily lead to producing the best scores at the range, but it sure is fun shooting all these different toys.

The one kicker is if your a competitive shooter, then gun fit becomes a critical thing, along with a well practiced consistent gun mount. I probably miss more targets or birds due to a poor gun mount at times than I do for gun fit issues.
