Rib Height I’m going to buy a new gun and can’t make up my mind between a high rib or flat rib. What do you recommend? High-rib guns originated and are more prevalent in the trap-shooting world because, in this discipline, all targets emanate from under the sight plane of the shotgun. Increasing the height of the rib over the top barrel allows the shooter to acquire trap-like targets and low quartering-away targets earlier in the flight path as compared to shooting with a flat-rib shotgun. High-rib shotguns may also be more comfortable for a shooter with an upright stance … [Read more...]

Hartmann’s Hint #35: Your Call
Your Call When teaching youth shooters with the SCTP, we often get some calling so softly that the pullers can't hear them. We have to remind them that the referees—like everyone else—wear ear protection, and they may not get the target when they expect it if their call is too soft. Conversely, we also remind them at times to not call too loudly, but to do so in an audible tone somewhere in between. We've had some shooters call so loudly that the fields adjacent to ours pull for their shooters on our shooter’s call. We need to make sure we give the referees a chance to pull … [Read more...]
