That's why you hold it hip level and not infront of your face

Yeah, those guys try to aim the shotgun without it having a buttstock

My first was actually 2. A 1984-ish Marlin Model 60 .22 and a 1965-ish Remington 870 Wingmaster.
No pic of the .22 when I got it but it was just the same as the first pic except no scope and it was blued. Then I painted it camo this last summer. The 870 I found under the seat of my dad's 73 F350 and he didn't even remember he had it. It had no buttstock on it when I found it and the original wood foregrip. I picked up the Blackhawk Knoxx stock for it because I thought it would be cool. I like shooting my buddys guns with the factory stock better. I'll be switching it out as soon as I sell it. I've been wanting to build it for more of a tactical/home defense role rather than a hunting gun.

My brother bought a Mossy 500 with the pistol grip and I don't have any problem aiming it. You just have to make sure you have it out a ways from your face or center it on your body and "point shoot" it.

Yes Sir! It's all good and well to have lasers and telescopic sights etc, but having a good eye is always an advantage when shooting IMHO.

Nope, don't mind the pic.

Hope she didn't pull the trigger with her body position like that though. Gonna fall in the pond like that.

I took this pic about a minute before she was actually ready to shoot, I had to put my phone down to ready her up and pull the cord to throw the skeet. She actually impressed me and hit about 8 out of 15 with me ol 12 gauge

Mine is a Savage Model 6D 22 long rifle. One hell of a gun killed many birds, squirrels, and rabbits with her. I will get a pic up later.
