The instructors explain concepts like 'draw length,' 'sporting mount,' and 'hold point,' demonstrating how to adapt mount height based on target speed and flight time to optimize performance and efficiency. The importance of a properly fitted shotgun for effective low-gun shooting is also highlighted.
