Book Reviews of The Orvis Guide to Gunfitting: Techniques to Improve Your Wingshooting, and the Fundamentals of Gunfit

Book Review: Excellent resource for anyone serious about shotgunning
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the finest shooting resource I've seen since Bruce Bowlen's book:The Orvis Wing-Shooting Handbook (Orvis). My other favorite is the classic: Robert Churchill's Game Shooting as a guide to the instinctive style shooting which I believe works best for walk up style wingshooting. Tom Deck's book is done so well that a person could use it as their exclusive resource for gunfit and shooting technique. It is a nice summary of all of the techniques necessary to successfully employ the "Modified Churchill Method," including the all important gunfit. For a deeper study of that subject, I would suggest: Gunfitting: The Quest for Perfection for Shotguns And Rifles. Tom Deck's book is, however, a wonderful resource for the novice as well as the experienced shotgunner.

Summary of The Orvis Guide to Gunfitting: Techniques to Improve Your Wingshooting, and the Fundamentals of Gunfit

Breaking the mold of other sporting books, THE ORVIS GUIDE TO GUNFITTING not only will explain gunfit, but will also help to improve a shooter's style and effectiveness in the field. Learning to correctly swing and mount a shotgun is the first step in the gunfitting process. A custom, double-barrel will improve a shooter's chances, but it alone can not make up for poor shooting style. In order to achieve perfection in the field, one should employ sound shooting technique to compliment a fitted shotgun.

Written in two complementary sections, the shooter will watch his technique improve after studying the following useful information: .

Instructions taken from The Orvis Instinctive Method of Wing-Shooting .
The many elements and variables of gunfit

Each section, on its own, makes this detailed guide a must for any serious bird hunter. Elegant and functional, like a fine shotgun, THE ORVIS GUIDE TO GUNFITTING will inform the reader on all critical elements of gunfitting and wingshooting technique with its easy-to-read text and colorful photography. It will be a proud addition to any sporting library.
