The Remington Model 32, the gun that inspired the Kreighoff, as it came to its own hesitant end, should have ended the line. The Remington belonged to a different age — an age when quality of function beat cost of production every time.The commercial rules of gun-making are brutal. These rules should have strangled Kreighoff’s Model 32 at the concept stage. So, just how did the Kreighoff win through? How was this gun able not only to survive but ...

As many of you will know, shooting was what Coxy did; one way or another the sport captured his life. And why not — he was after all so bloody good at it!His guns and rifles, the tools of the gamekeeper’s trade, have all been moved on now. The DT10 is the last of them.This one gun stirs most emotion; we associate it so personally, so intimately, with Coxy. As it is cleaned ...

A legitimate part in fitting the whole shotgun, the appropriate trigger set up can convey a worthy advantage to your shooting....

And should that aim be achieved, then, pretty much, we’re OK with that. For some – a super talented few – there is room to kick on and up still further. What is it about them? What are they able to do that most cannot? What is it exactly that takes them – nudges them, boosts them – from good to great?...

The process of gunfitting plays a key role in building confidence in the shotgun and its performance. Gunfitting reaches out toward outcomes that drive your shooting forward. Trying the new and unfamiliar in gunfitting could well be part of the journey toward finding your own ‘fifth element’....

Fitting For Cue aims for the answers and to build favoured or preferential cues into the actual hardware of a shotgun. Shooting skills improve when there is a reliable framework on which to build success. Fitting A Gun For Cue is an important part of that framework....

It is not enough that it should be well adapted to one or the other. For the best success it must be fully adapted to both.” Gough Thomas....

Some sufferers simply give up shooting. Others, more firmly addicted to the sport, will leave no stone unturned to find any palliative to alleviate their discomfort.”...
