I use a home made device to shoot better

It allows me to mount the gun in the same place every time. It takes the weight of the gun off the arm going to the forearm. It allows me to push my cheek onto the stock without loosing a good aim. Now I shoot a 9lb gun. I' ve found my device to relieve me of some of the 'hassle' in shooting short or long term. In all, I think we all look for consistency. My devise adds to your natural ability to perform better on the trap range. I can't say skeet too cause I don't shoot skeet. On international it works. So you decide. Anyway, if you have any interest in it, let me know. Jim

 

How about posting a picture of your device?

 

Does it go Over the shoulder like a hook?

Not 'a hook' per say. It's an 'L' shaped piece of metal with a long slot cut on one end of the "L" which is used between the recoil pad and the butt. It is adjustable this way. The other end of the "L' has a small pad which rests upon the top of your shoulder. At first it takes a few rounds to get used to using. It fits in the gun rests at the range without problem. I think the biggest advantage of its use is that you can really push your cheek down on the wood. Thereby eliminating your chance of raising your cheek off. That and returning the gun to the same spot in your shoulder each time.

 

I have seen these used before by other shooters over the years

Saw a gun fixed up like that during the Ohio State shoot a few years ago.

 

I'm sure you did. I made mine about 5 years ago. Never saw one before that. I just got the idea of it and made it. It's main drawback is it's look. I mean, people view it as unwieldy. But it really works if you take some time ( a few rounds) to get used to it. There is one 'trick' to making one though. You want to bend the metal just a little crooked/ skewed that goes out to your shoulder. This facilitates the padded end in sitting in the sweet spot of the shoulder. The bend can go either way. A little out, or a little in. Just the shooters choice. I guess you could view it like training wheels on a bicycle. I love it. Really helps me with fatigue on a long day of shooting.

 

Still waiting for a picture of this contraption????

 

Obviously he can't operate a camera but can make all sort of shooting stuff ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Hasn't Anschutz made a device like the one described for there competition rifles for years?

 

Don’t be shy. Let’s see some pictures
