50/50 Flat Shooting Gun
A range owner in North Carolina shot my gun and instantly wanted me to cut his Guerini so it would fit and shoot like mine. So, he sent it to me and I cut it to fit me and sent it back.

Great performers are not born with some innate ability that predisposes them to be able to be great at anything. While they all have spent thousands of hours doing what it is that they do, they each became great due to the commitment in time, money and effort to practice deliberately, to deliberately improve to world-class level.
