Excellent video, I'm 65-years old, never knew the basic's on shotgun set-up. So well explained, Thank You, Alaska John
Love your vids. I have been shooting for over 47 years, hunting, International Skeet and regular Trap. You explain everything so clear that everybody should understand what you are trying to get across. I find after watching several of your vids, after all these years, I am still learning. Thank you very much !
i love this guy, he talks a lot of sense.
I know about length of pull and comb height, but I have never heard the term cast.
I am mainly a rifle shooter, and shotguns have my home defense guns, but I like the idea of being able to use my gun to maximum potential possible.
I am definitely going to shoot more clays and this tip about fitting the shotgun to the shooter is exactly what I needed.
What a presenter ! A good old, common-sense, down to earth, tell-it-like-it-is man ! Thank you, Mr. Ash ! I shall be looking for more of your vids. Greetings from Pennsylvania.
Excellent video! I know nothing about shotgunning and am really lost. I hunted deer rabbits and squirrels as a kid but they were usually stalked and shot while sitting still. I have always been a vertically challenged individual. I have never had a problem shooting handguns and rifles but recently purchased an English Pointer and have begun bird hunting with a scatter gun. I have missed way more birds than I have hit this past season and went to practice on some clay birds. The guy next to me at the range said I needed to get a fitted gun badly and stop aiming at my targets. He said its hard to not aim a shotgun fitted with a slug barrel and rifle sights lol. I have a lot to learn and need to buy a new gun. Now I know a bit more of what to look for thanks
Excellent video, clear concise and easy to understand
Great advice, made an instant improvement to how I mounted the gun. Thanks!
Great knowledge Gil, maybe someday I can attend one of your classes!
Thanks Gil... I've looked at plenty of videos trying to explain gun fit. This one is superb and easy to understand. Sounds like I'll be in front of the mirror practicing my mount before visiting a fitter.
Excellent video Sir !! ... and extremely helpful !! Fantastic service to all wingshooters !! BRAVO !!
very clear and practical, great video.
Thanks for all your shotgun tips and explanations! Anyone that shoots trap or sporting clays can benefit from your advice.
Very clear and to the point. Great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This is quality advice. Now I know a lot more about sizing a shotgun. Thanks!
I love you sir, you made me B class Trap shooter in 6 months. All your advise were so valuable for me.... You are an angel god bless you. thanks
Im brand new to shooting, and that was very nicely explained. This video gave me more confidence in looking for a shotgun. Thanks from Canada!
Great info for the new shooter or advanced shooter looking for better fit
So much knowledge in one video. Thank you
Good information and very good delivery thanks
Thanks for the tips. Very useful. This is a bit confusing. As we are taught to point a shotgun, not aim down the rib. Target focus is primary. With a proper swing through lead.
Clear and easy to understand. Might just have to get my gun cast on. Thanks from the UK
Thanks for the video, another great explanation with all the bases covered.
Your best vid yet! Thank you for posting this!
This was an awesome video packed full of information !!!!!!
Thank You !!!!
Wonderful video. Thank you so much!
If you are anywhere near Missouri, go see the people at Wenig Custom Stockmakers in Lincoln, MO. Jimmy there will fit you perfectly. Custom fit and built a stock for me in May and I shot great this year...ran my first 100 straight in skeet tournament in July and had my first two HOAs in the 390s. Not to mention multiple 99s in every gauge, including .410.
you can tell he is a good teacher he makes you listen.
Gil ash yor my best instructor i lik your shooting school
Good job again. Thanks.

Best gun fitting info video!
Great video--thanks for the tip!!!
A NEWBEE I AM. THANK YOU. BRILLIANT
really good info, great channel
Great advice, thank you.
do you have a similiar video with a side by side
Excellent info!
Gil can I send you some pictures from my recent patterning trip to the range. I believe I’m shooting high and need to shim the comb? Thoughts? Let me know please.
Thanks - very helpful. I'm confused about what the rib should look like - should I see the entire length, like a runway in front of me, or should it be compressed (my eye lower) so that the mid-bead and end sight are right on top of each other?
The mid bead should be just on the bottom of the front bead...stay well ...Roger
On my Winchester 120, my nose is four to five fingers-width from my nose and the recoil pad keeps catching on my clothes. I know it's too long, but I'm afraid of ruining the stock. Also, the recoil pad won't fit if it's shortened.
I'm thinking about buying a used stock online and tampering with it, so as not to destroy the original one.
When I hunt huns in a t-shirt in September versus December roosters in a parka, there can be a couple inches difference due to clothing thickness, so how can the shotgun fit in hunting uplands where temperatures can vary from below freezing to the 80s?
hey gil, i just started in my school very first trap shooting league, and im trying out different styles and sizes of guns. its a one pigeon one shot league and ive been told that a 20 gauge is more accurate than a 12. single shots are better than slide, or auto. ( only one round is allowed, thats why single shots are preferred. easy loading.) and the youth provides the light, short gun ive been told i need. any thoughts, or tips?
Thanks, clyde
@TheNSSF Will do thanks for the advice have a good one, Great vids very helpfull thx again
Go to a range find a clays or skeet shooter who can talk to you before you buy! Read a book or two - start with the "The Orvis Wing-Shooting Handbook" (Paperback) by Bruce Bowlen at Amazon. They have several used copies. If this is the "best" video, then that is the perfect companion - the "best book" on gun fit. As a bonus, the shooting info in the book is largely the same school of thought as the excellent OSP School, Churchill and other instinctive programs.
How can you get a consistentt gun mount if the LOP, cast is out?
Just found this vid. I learned more in 10 min of educational info. Learn somthing new every day. Love the right to bear arms.

I don't know necessarily about a 20 gauge being "more accurate" than a 12 or the fact that a break action is better than something else, I put 4k into a beretta DT10 that didn't shoot worth a damn then I messed around with an 870 that seems to shoot better for me, just my 2 cents
Any advice on barrel length. I started with a Rem 870 28". I see mainly 28,30,32" at the range. Is this more for "fit" or shooter skill level?
+JohnnyQuid71 -----Also noticed that the O/U seems to have shorter barrels, what's the reason for that?
A longer barrel gives you a smoother swing ...shorter barrels are too whippy for clays...Happy shooting...Roger
I need to go fit me a few shotguns :) Looking for my first one to shoot Skeet with
thankk you sooo much
The 4:1 ratio doesn't make sense to me. Since your nose, thumb and butt of gun are all lined up on the same line, it seems like you would remove 1 inch to reduce the distance between nose and thumb by 1 inch. Can you explain further?
Is it the same theory with rifle?
And pray tell me who are the 53 knuckleheads with the thumbs down ? One word for those guys: "PULL !!"
Mosquitos!
nearly a 30 degree bend on that stock.
The more of these I watch the more I think gun safety starts with me...
What’s with the finger on the trigger. I mean that’s a flagrant violation in everyone’s rule book right?
Why gun is that
Some have long nose?
This was for the most part, useless, I watched this when I first got into trapshooting and he mentions not a thing of, "If you have a bruised cheek, angle the pad by starting at 1/8" and go up from there until it stops." Not a word of that, useless.
I feel like you might be the thing that is useless here.
I shoot with a combat shotgun so I don't need to worry about any of this
Finger off the trigger please at 0:30 when holding the firearm and not ready to fire. Bad habit...And at 3:00, I think you will find that IR is at the low frequency range of the light spectrum.
you need to review your time frames, his fingers are nowhere near a trigger.
+aaroncake: At 0:30 on my viewing, the gun is over his SHOULDER, broken, barrel in front, butt stock behind him.
Relax, the action is open....
