Hi,
I had my FEO visit last Friday and should hopefully have my SGC fairly shortly, so I'm starting to give some thought to the first gun.
From reading the forum, the most-recommended (and reasonable-sounding) approach seems to be a) decide a budget B) try lots of guns inside that budget c) pick one that feels good and you can hit stuff with.
I've also seen gun fitting sessions advertised to get advice for adjustments to an existing gun, or get measured for a new one.
As a newbie who's only had a handful of lessons, do you think it's better to:
1) Buy a gun, shoot for a while to develop a reasonable gun mount, then get it fitted
2) Have a gun fit to get measured then buy a gun and try to get any adjustments included in the deal
3) Just buy a gun that meets the "feels good and hits stuff" criteria, and worry about paying for a gun fit later in my shooting career?
Any ideas gratefully received.
Andrew.
