 The APSI one-day gun fitting course explains how the professional gun fitter operates at a top line shooting school. Being responsible for the fit of often highly expensive guns can at first be daunting, and at this level most gun fitters will have many years of experience and training behind them.
The course examines the gun fitting process in detail, from the vital understanding of stocks and their dimensions, to how an accurate fit is obtained. This is an area where many otherwise competent shooting instructors feel in need of guidance. Only a few have the great good fortune to study under one of the masters at a top shooting ground - the rest have to do the best they can.
The course is in two main parts: theoretical and practical: the following are some of the topics covered
Why Gun Fit?
Gun fit: evolution
Traditional measurements and where they are taken:
