The hat thing I've seen before.
I've seen that before too. The hat is alright, he just didn't put his head on the right way in the morning.
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

Kutter,
the lower rib looks like V 1.0 and the upper looks like it was added by screwing it on as V 1.5

You guys that have had bad experiences with trap shooters with your vintage guns just bumped into the club crumudgeons. They are in all venues along with the hoity-toyti's. Some just plain don't want to be bothered by anybody and the others don't want be bothered unless you fit into their income bracket. Most trapshooters are not like either group.
I shoot vintage guns at ATA shoots and have a lot of people stop me and ask what I'm shooting. They are genuinly interested. More so even when shooting doubles with a SxS. I'll be the guy in Mason, Mi. shooting all doubles events with a SxS this year. Bill

As a competition shooter, it bothers me very little to shoot with the S x S guys or the guys with a pump. I really don't enjoy shooting with a guy who knows nothing of shooting and is out there with a 24 inch pump shooting # 5 shot. There are all kinds and what the seasoned trap or skeet shooter resents is the redneck who doesn't have a clue. We will tolerate them for a little while and try to help the 'beginner' , but rednecks are a totally different matter. If I'm serious about shooting and want to practice, I want to shoot with fellow shooters, skeet, trap, and sporting clay who know what they are doing. If not, I will shoot a few 'from the hip' to show the redneck how easy the game really is! HaHa. A beginner who wants to learn is a totally different matter.
Socialism is almost the worst.

I hunt birds with a SxS that was likely sold in a hardware store. I've never had a gun fitting, much less ordered a shotgun, but I can hit almost everything I shoot at and don't make excuses for what I miss. I'm not averse to backing up claims of my shooting prowess with cash bets Mike are you speaking of that old hardware Fox that just so happens to have a knockout stock built by the owner with dimensions to fit said owner??

Ken, I think that would be the one...or several.  Simple, reliable and readily available at reasonable cost. They're pretty popular with DIY'ers here in the northeast.

Low gun on fast going away targets - I have missed trying to mount too fast - the barrel goes too high due to the quick mount - esp on flat ones. Too fast causes a swing thru in the wrong direction (up), and hard to see it. Weight over the front foot, and forward lean seems to help keep the muzzles down. Moving and mounting slow seems to help most - other than watching the target.

That's because you don't know how to properly mount your gun. I've watched many pre-mounters try low mount. Most sling the gun to their shoulder upon calling "pull" and then ride the bird prior to pulling the trigger. Can anyone tell me why this is a good way to miss the bird?

That double ribbed shotgun looks like a mechanical solution to a shooter headspace problem! Check back in a couple weeks and he will have some other stupid contraption trying to solve his shooting problems without having to get instruction and practice. There is a gunsmith somewhere nearby laughing his butt off on his way to the bank - just knowing this dude will be back shortly with more money. Looks like the gun already has an adjustable comb screwed up to max elevation so he can get his cheek on something to position his eye behind the rib. Probably has a automobile's power seat mechanism built into the buttplate with 6 different axis of adjustments to tinker with too. Bet the gun swings like the proverbial pig on a snowshovel too.

Someone help me out here: I've seen this picture before, and in my dim memory banks, He is an international competitor from an Arab country who does very, very well.
Can't recall the name or his country, or even the sport, but I DO remember that he is a great shooter from what I read & saw at the time.
