Naturally, some aspects of gun handling change as the type of gun you're handling changes. With long guns, the process of "mounting" should be fast and intuitive ... but it also needs to be consistent. NRA Training Counselor and NRA Media Armorer Larry Quandahl knows better than anyone that it's not quite as simple as it looks. Consistency requires consistent practice, and it's important that said practice is ironing out flaws instead of ironing them in. In this great episode of American Rifleman TV, Quandahl demonstrates what a good, consistent gun mount looks like.
