Point of Aim My shotgun shoots to the point of aim. However, this doesn’t build the skill of proper gun mount and the resulting desire of the firearm shooting where I look. What procedure would you suggest for practice that promotes hitting where you are looking, specifically when using a patterning board? First of all, let’s define something.

Final Shots: John Dinning
We are saddened to report the passing of John B. Dinning, Sr., on July 27 at the age of 91.
