In Dave McC's other thread about fixing the shotgunner a lot of people talk about practicing "the mount." Can everyone expand a bit on what the "perfect mount" would be, and how specifically you practice it -
What's your starting position (or do you practice from several)? What's the most efficient way to get the gun from that position to the correct placement? What's your ideal cheekweld/hand position/head position, etc? What does the rest of your body do while you are mounting the gun (step back, turn sideways, etc)? Does your mount change depending on clothing (heavy jacket vs. t-shirt), and how? Does anything change when you mount to the weak side?
I mostly shoot 3-gun and the like so I mainly work from a low-ready and feel pretty slow and sloppy when trying to correctly mount the gun from any other position - any advice is appreciated.
