60 Seconds With Chris Batha

You cannot shoot birds consistently if you are thinking of the mechanics. The fundamentals must be practiced to the point where they become automatic and the movement to and in from of the target can be made without conscious thought.

 

This tip came from the book “The Instinctive Shot – The Practical Guide to Modern Wingshooting” by Chris Batha.

The Dynamic Krieghoff K-20 for Field and Sporting


The K-20 features a 20-gauge frame which has been conceived and designed with the small gauge competition and wingshooter in mind. It is beautifully balanced and quick handling, but it has enough weight to absorb recoil and swing smoothly even at the end of a long day on the course or in the field.

The K-20 incorporates all of the technical refinements made in the famed K-80 over the years and shares all of its technical features adapted to the smaller receiver. The K-20 can be fittted with 28 gauge and .410 barrels to make a two or three barrel set for competition, bird shooting or pure small-bore enjoyment.
