Hi, I would like to talk now about the proper way to hold your gun before you discharge
it or as you discharge it. Obviously grab it at where I call the throat of the stock.
Finger on the trigger and other hand on the forearm. We want to grip the gun not tightly
but firmly. So it doesn't drop out of our hands. The shotgun any shotgun is going to
have quite a kick to it. Quite a amount of recoil and that can put a big bruise on your
shoulder if you don't have it put into position properly when you pull the trigger. So what
you what to do is you can see that many times your shotgun the forearm or the butt will
have some play into your shoulder and I've had friends that when they were out shooting
get excited. Out hunting grouse, pull their gun up and pull up to aim before they had
firmly planted the stock into their shoulder and they've got quit a bruise from that. So
be sure before you pull the trigger that as part of bringing your face down to lineup
the front bead with the back groove is that you pull the butt tight on your shoulder.
Right in that cup and it feels as you do it like a very natural movement. The gun snaps
right into place. So that's very critical if you would like to avoid a bruised shoulder
from shooting your shotgun. It's a can be a painful experience. I can say that it's
happened to me.
