Shotgun-Shooting Techniques

Unlike rifle shooting, quick reflexes and flexibility are essential for effective shotgun shooting. Proper shotgun techniques will help you develop the rapid, fluid response you need to hit your target. When shooting use a relaxed, balanced stance with your feet shoulder-width apart and your weight slightly forward on your left foot (if you’re a right-handed shooter), and lean your body in the same direction.
