Yes, I made sure the gun fit well before I purchased it. Additionally the SBE with 3" chamber and shorter 26" barrel just seemed lively compared to its 3 1/2" brother. Before this I carried a M1 Super 90 with a 22" barrel. A joy to carry all day but not as well balanced. I have kept it as a...

Personally, the hardest habit for me to break is mounting the shotgun quickly like a flyweight boxer. My goal now is to mount the gun slowly with a minimum of movement (and absolutely no head movement). In my mind, a good mount should emulate a good ballroom dancer like Len Goodman. Sorry I know...

Obviously a shooting method is deeply personal and should be up to the individual. When I started this makeover three years ago, I vowed not to let ego get in the way. In my mind, I decided it was better to miss 100 clays than one Pheasant or Mallard. To that end I have tried to remain open...

Henry, I tried but abandoned this technique because like you my right eye is not strongly dominant and my left eye tended to pick up the fastest moving object, in this case, the barrel. The other reason is because when I did miss, I could never figure out why. Was my barrel speed insufficient or...

Response: 1. Yes, I have aviation style prescription shooting glasses minus the bifocals! 2. Focus on the target. One gadget that has helped my move and mount is a lazer shotgun shell. By projecting a lazer beam at the seam joining the wall and ceiling I have practiced my move and mount so that...

Their first book was excellent so I decided to order the second. The deeper I dive into this subject the more I realize how little I know. RM https://www.amazon.com/Sporting-Clays-Consistency-Gotta-Your/dp/0976020416/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

It has been said that anyone can ride a horse but that it takes a lifetime to look like you belong there. I've always owned a shotgun but never shot extensively until three years ago when I decided that anything worth doing is worth doing well and purchased a clay pigeon thrower. Talk about...

Fortunately for me, standard stock dimensions fit me quite well. That said, by following the advice in these two books, I was able to increase my hits by 20% in the past month alone. I started this journey studying the Churchill method of shooting which helped my gun mount immensely. It is hard...

Another great book that I found to be quite instructional is John Bidwell's book, "Move Mount Shoot". Both books are roughly the same in terms of technique. Personally I give the edge to Gill Ash for communicating it in away that I could visualize. RM...

I found one pound but the seller stated local pick up only. Perhaps you know someone in California? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1114361806

Everybody learns differently and I have always felt blessed that picking up new information by reading books has worked well for me. One example of that is learning to shoot; grateful because I cannot afford a shooting school. For the past few years I have endeavored to erase 45 years of poor...

Glad to hear! My wife and I are going to Saskatchewan this fall. RM

Alan, Where do you live in Minnesota? It would be fun to meet a fellow member at a Ducks Unlimited banquet!

Henry, Very interesting how people have similar ideas. I came across this a while back in my search for a viable dog ramp when duck hunting. RM https://halifaxdogventures.com/2016/08/11/diy-dock-boat-ramp-for-dogs/

Your analogy is a good one. My wife Heather at this point compared my boat to a sister wife. RM

Their G-Flex epoxy is nothing short of amazing on difficult materials or joints with alot of movement. Despite living in the electronic information age, I recently purchased a used copy of "The Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction". More enjoyable with a good cup of coffee than struggling to...

Not an exaggeration. I tried to be gentle earlier but since Tod ripped off the bandaid I'm going to add that at this late stage, take your time and make her pretty! RM

Check out fiberglasssite.com. 10 lbs per gallon; tensile strength 11,800 psi. It is a little thicker than many boutique boat building resins but you can't beat their prices and the the epoxy is quite a bit stronger. RM

Henry, Perfectionism needs an outlet and your hull is a better place than most to expend it. You will never wish that you hadn't faired your hull so damn perfect. In my opinion you are at a bit of a crossroads. Either rush and get the boat done in time for this season or take your time and...
