Yes, I am serious.
Gun fit to shooter, and correct basic fundamentals are two thing I mention a lot.
All shooting is , is simply repeating correct basic fundamentals.
We take these correct basic fundamentals, and by quality practice , repetition we build up these allowing us to be smoother, faster and more effective.
Why a cane pole?
Most folks don't understand fit, and correct basics, be it learning to fish, or shoot a firearm, or anything else.
They want to start off in dead run, before they even learn to walk.
I can hand a kid a 13 ft cane pole and they say "this one is way too long, it does not fit".
Get that kid a 10 ft cane pole and "hey, this one fits me". The fish are "right there" and learning to read the water, habitat, a bobber, or feeling a fish nibble when using, or not using a bobber, transitions to when they get a Spinning , Baitcast or fly rod.
Same thing with a shotgun. Teach a shooter how to get up from crawling, how to stand, and take steps.
Shotguns are pointed - not aimed.
There are no beads or sights on a cane pole, any fishing rod.
Learning to be smooth while pointing that cane pole to get that bait, hook, bobber in the water , and after a bit, they do this faster, and smoother.
Just like they get a bit faster and smoother getting a fish in.
Again, these same principles transition to Spinning , Bait cast and Fly rod.
I use BB guns without sights to teach Shotguns as well.
I have shared how I do , as Brister shared in his book in regard to BB guns.
I have another little known thing I do-
Now with a kid, and with a kid sized BB gun, even just a stock of some kind with a PVC "barrel" I can get a kid to follow a Ping Pong ball attached to braided line with a cane pole.
They don't actually shoot it, instead say "bang" but the deal is correct mounting of "gun" to face, stance, and all the other basics and the ping pong ball is the target.
Adults see me do this, and they just have to try this. I have to get a longer cane pole, still this works.
Many will use a real shotgun, no ammunition, still saying "bang" as I move the target.
I can read a student pretty well, with someone assisting they too can assist.
The big deal is the student themselves being able to assess and read them selves.
-My stock does not fit me. .
-Boy I goofed getting gun to face, I need to slow down and get the basics down, be smooth and worry about being fast, later.
I /we have heard a lot.
