In this video we look at a very simple fundamental ...but one that is often overlooked. If we are going to miss ...then it's better to miss in front...we have a look at why this is so...and what advantage we gain by always being in front.
This makes perfect sense. I'd say 80% or more of my misses are directly behind the target, with some misses high or low. "Always miss in front" makes perfect sense- I'll begin working on this. Many thanks! Brilliant.
Hi roger. I would like to add that the pellets come out of the gun as a "string". By shooting in front of the clay, the clay is going into that shot string. If the first few pellets go in front of the clay you may still get a hit with the trailing string of pellets. As you say "If you miss behind, you miss" end of story. Miss in front you could still get lucky. Keep well.
physically, missing behind or in front is the same thing. Actually, you miss behind and you can still break the clay exactly as you explained for the in front missing case. Yet, in shooting, we tend to miss behind not in front. This is because our human brains usually underestimate the true sufficient lead. Now, even if you intentionally try to miss in front, your brain will moderate the overleading.. So, I do agree with you 100%. I remember when I first hunted high geese, I used to shout on my self: "Miss In Front, Miss Front, dont worry :)"
