Service
Shotgun Work
Reliable cycling and consistent patterns, field or clay ready.
Service Overview
Shotguns take a beating in the field and on the clay course, and reliable cycling matters as much as pattern performance. We service pump, semi-automatic, and break action shotguns for both function and finish.
From feeding issues to stock fit to choke related questions, we handle the details that make a shotgun perform when it counts.
A shotgun that does not fit you well will beat you up on recoil and cost you targets. Our shotgun work covers mechanical repair alongside fit adjustments so the gun performs the way it should, whether you are in a blind or on the clay course.
