Think you know how to hold a shotgun? Most people get it wrong! Most people think they know how to hold a shotgun, but the truth is, many get it wrong.
A proper hold is essential for accuracy and safety. Start with a solid stance: feet shoulder-width apart and a slight forward lean. Position your dominant hand on the grip and keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot. Next, make sure the butt of the shotgun is firmly against the pocket of your shoulder.
This placement helps manage recoil and keeps you steady. Rest your cheek on the stock to align your eyes along the barrel, keep both eyes open for a full field of vision, and be ready to look at the target. Perfecting your hold can transform your shooting experience.
