Gun down
Mounting a shotgun properly requires some finesse. This is especially true if you are using a hunting or sporting shotgun. To avoid the muzzle from rising above your line, you must not bend over backwards. The second is to control the front arm so that your gun doesn't pivot off its axis. The rear hand must not dominate the 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. These days, gun stands are often equipped with adjustable ribs, which allow you to change the angle. Proper pitch requires that the angle between the rib and butt pad should not exceed 90 degrees.
Point of contact
Shotgun shooting is only possible if you aim your gun at the target. Generally speaking, you should point the barrel of your shotgun at the target so that you can make accurate shots. You can do this in a number of ways, but the best is to simply mount it at the target's contact points. We will discuss how to do that in this article.
Dry-fire
Dry-fire shotgun mounts are an excellent training tool. It allows you to create a mount while staying focused on the target. You will need your own shotgun to use a dry fire mounting device. When using a dry-fire mounting device, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. Use proper light to DryFire for safe use. Dry-fire shotgun mounting does not produce excessive heat, but it is not harmful to the gun.
Getting it right every time
There are several tips you can use to make sure that your mount works flawlessly every time. Practice as much as you can, at most for a few minutes per day. Spending just five minutes a day will equate to more than 30 minutes a week. To avoid alarming your neighbors, mount your gun on the corner of the ceiling. This will allow you to re-position the gun when necessary.
