I would like to attend a gunfitting session this summer and I have narrowed my choices to: Glenn Baker at Woodcock Hill, or Keith Lupton in NY. I have heard good things about both, and both are roughly equidistant from me. What say you?

G&H would be a third option, but I have not heard anything specific about their fitting sessions. Opinions on them?

Thanks.

Woodcock Hill would be my choice.

Newlyn,

Is this fitting for birds or clays? I'll tell yea, getting fit in the summer for a winter game is only going to get your wallet thinner. MHO

Mostly for clays, but I expect to shoot the same gun year round. My intent in getting fitted is primarily to get the cast and drop correct. (I think I need a bit more cast and a bit less drop.) I would expect a good fitter to account for seasonal variation when determining LOP, however.

I completely agree that the fitter should account for changes in clothing, I just don't know how much.

Shooting SC in July with a t-shirt compared to a Pheasant hunt in January is going to be a huge difference. My K80 lop is 15.125", my field guns vary from 14.75" for early season doves to 14" for Jan/Feb quail. I was constantly getting hung up in my jacket on a covey rise with a 14.75" lop. I've learned over the years to change guns depending on weather.

I'm sure you're thinking about these kinds of things, hope it helps.
