To learn more about Del’s gun fit and wingshooting methodologies, check out this podcast interview.
Del is an exceptional gun fitter and gunsmith! He even built his own try gun that can help you get exactly the gun dimensions required just for you. Few people can meet his skill level. As an upland bird hunter, he understands the needs of the bird hunter. I have known him for years. He is an outstanding individual.
We could not agree more Al, well said!
I’m wondering if there is an opening for the 9th in the afternoon available?
