Default Dry mounting

[QUOTE=Jay Oliver;414792]I think you will be able to adjust to it. As we all know, many or most vintage guns have a lot of drop. I am surprised how fast you can get used to it. One of my tricks is to shoulder it a few times before I go to bed and then when I wake up I am usually good to go.

I totally agree with Jay. With over 80 side x sides one has to learn how to dry mount the gun 5-10 times before shooting it to find where on your body is the best place to put it. Once you do that you can move to the range and start shooting. I HAVE to adjust to the gun, not the other way around. I have friends that want to be statuesque and shoot head up like they're shooting a modern target gun and they cannot adapt to anything else. They don't shoot side x sides. You can do it - if you want to.
