Device for balancing guns
Abstract
Abstract THE INVENTION RELATES TO THE PROBLEM OF BALANCING GUNS, PARTICULARLY SHOTGUNS SO THAT THE PERSON OWNING SEVERAL GUNS CAN GIVE THEM ALL THE SAME WEIGHT AND BALANCE THEM TO GIVE THE SAME FEEL FOR ALL GUNS. THE STRUCTURE OF THE INVENTION IS SUCH THAT A BALANCING WEIGHT CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY GAUGE OF SHOTGUN WHETHER IT BE SINGLE BARREL, DOUBLE BAREL, OR THE SO-CALLED OVER-UNDER TYPE. THE WEIGHT DEVICES OF THE INVENTION CAN BE ADJUSTABLY SECURED ANYWHERE ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE GUN BARREL OR BARRELS AND/OR IN THE BORE OF THE GUN STOCK IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A BALANCE POINT FOR ANY GUN WHICH WILL BE THE SAME BALANCE POINT FOR ALL OTHER SHOTGUNS IN A SHOOTER''S COLLECTION. THE INVENTION IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR TRAP AND SKEET SHOOTING WHERE IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT SWITCHING FROM ONE GUN TO ANOTHER, WHERE THE GUNS HAVE DIFFERENT BALANCE POINTS, AFFECTS THE AIM AND SKILL OF THE SHOOTER IN A DELETERIOUS MANNER.
