I shoot with some guys that seem to be able to pick up any gun and do well with all of them. I’m not that fortunate. Last week I had a sporting clays event to go to so Friday night after shooting trap with my trap gun I shot a few rounds with my sporting clays gun to get the feel for it and I tanked. I was hitting 13’s and 14’s. The gun felt light and awkward but I did finally start to adjust. So Saturday when we were shooting sporting clays I did relatively well and missed high gun for the day by a couple targets. Fast forward to tonight, I shot my trap gun for the first time since shooting sporting clays and tanked the first round with a 17. By the second round I had the feel for the gun back and hit a 24. So how do you guys jump back and forth from gun to gun and never miss a beat? There’s one person I shoot with that will shoot his Krieghoff one round and his old model 12 the next and have the same score. How is this possible?

Shoot ALOT, patterning board is a nice shortcut, but to really become one with any gun there is no replacement really for just shooting.
I have a couple of shooting buddies that seem to be able to pick up any shotgun and shoot it well also. I'm not so blessed. I shoot a single barrel trap gun that patterns 80/20 for me and for sporting clays and 5 stand i use an O/U with a 50/50 pattern. I began as a trap shooter and picked up SC years later. I have to consciously adjust my shooting when shooting SC, but not with trap. If I get a trap like target when shooting the O/U I mentally have to tell myself to pull the gun up to cover the target. It works but never feels as free and natural as when I shoot trap.
