Default Shotgun fitting

Is there a place around Calgary where you can get fitted for a shotgun?

If you wait until summer then Andrew Harvison will be back in the country at Silver Willow. He's a gun fitter that actually knows what he's doing!
That's not to say that the folks at SW are no good at it but Andrew actually has the measuring equipment and has been in the business for years.

There's a nice little shop that does it at Bisely range and by what I've seen they're one of the best around. It's in England though but it's worth the trip to see that range, it's what our ranges should look like.

If I go to silver willow and this Andrew chap isn't there, should I be worried? Is there someone else there that knows how to measure and test the measurements?

Normally Andrew is only around during the summer months but it turns out he may not be working at Silver Willow at all this year, Don and Josh are both good though.

See Jakob at Calgary Shooting Centre. He can fit you and do the wood work required.
