Good vid, very much to the point (sorry). On my PC it was followed by this one from Fieldsports Britain, which may only be due to my YT viewing habits, so I'll post it here.


You have to be a bit wary of the Brits needs though in that they mainly use field guns in their 'driven shoots' where pheasant are shot almost directly overhead. As can be seen in their clay shooting habits.
 
I’ve been fitted by two gunsmiths, both qualified to fit you. Both had me mount the gun with eyes closed.

i think there is 2 schools: the british one and the continental one. we had in our hunting team a wood carver after doing st etienne and liege gunsmith schools and he tried to explain to us the differences betweeen the french and belgian gunsmithing so if we add the british it will be hard especially for a french lol.
 
Was at Sail the other day with a buddy who was trying the fit of a new cynergy 20ga, he did the eyes closed and shouldered then open. The clerk thought nothing of it. He was safely pointing it high towards the top shelf away from anyone.
