Shotgun fit

In this episode of Northern Wings & Clays Field Notes, I’m tackling one of the most misunderstood — and most important — topics in wingshooting and clays: shotgun fit. A perfectly tuned shotgun can feel like an extension of your body… but when it doesn’t fit, even the best shooter can struggle.
We’ll break down:
- What “fit” really means — and why it’s more than just length of pull
- The differences between field and sporting fit
- How proper mount and stance affect performance
- What measurements matter most (and which ones don’t)
- Why good gun fit can’t be separated from good shooting
Whether you’re a new bird hunter or a seasoned clays competitor, this episode will give you clarity — and a few simple things you can do today to shoot better tomorrow.
