Gun down
The proper way to mount a shotgun requires a certain amount of finesse, and this is especially important when using a sporting or hunting shotgun. To avoid the muzzle from rising above your line, you must not bend over backwards. Your front arm should be controlled so the gun doesn’t pivot on its axis or 'cartwheel'. Last but not least, the rear hand must not dominate your mount.
Pitch angle
The pitch angle is the angle between the rib and the butt pad. The pitch angle of a shotgun was traditionally determined by placing it on the ground with its breech against a wall. Nowadays, gun stands come with adjustable ribs that allow you to alter the angle. For proper pitch, the angle between the butt pad and rib should be angled at a 90 degree angle or less.
Target contact point
Mounting a shotgun at the target's contact point is an essential part of successful shotgun shooting. To make precise shots, aim your shotgun barrel at the target. There are a few ways to do this, but the most effective method is by simply mounting it at the target's contact point. This article will explain how to do it.
Dry-fire
Dry-fire shotgun mounting can be a useful training tool. This allows you to develop a mount that is efficient while keeping your eyes on the target and neutral gun position. A dry-fire mount requires a shotgun. A dry-fire mount requires you to follow certain safety guidelines. Always use proper light for the DryFire to ensure a safe use. Dry-fire shotgun mounting does not produce excessive heat, but it is not harmful to the gun.
Every time, it's perfect
There are many ways to make sure your mount is perfect every time. One tip is to practice as often as possible, ideally for just a few moments each day. Five minutes a day is enough to practice for 30 minutes a week. To avoid alarming neighbors, mount your shotgun in a corner of the ceiling. This will enable you to easily reposition the gun as needed.
