For me having a professional gun fit definitely was the single best thing I did to make me a better wing shot.

Phil, Michael did my fitting also. I had two guns made to my measurements and shot them well. To John Dallas’ point, I found that I could shoot guns that were close, but not perfect. I’d rather shoot a vintage gun that is close than one spot on. If I was a competitive shooter, I’d probably feel differently, but my limiting myself to shorter, high percentage hunting shots makes a close fit close enough…for me.
