Gil Ash of OSP Shooting Schools demonstrates why shotgun shooters shouldn't look down the barrel, nor at the bead. By focusing on the target you might see fewer targets but you'll surely break more. (NSSF Video)

Rider Mark .... I thought it was funny myself until you said the turd word .... the more we use that language , the less respect children and adults will have for GOD .... if I tick you off , then there You go .... I am 71 years old .... I was a RR Conductor for 42 years and I said more than I want to remember .... the people I worked with talked like gangs and prisoners .... and now that I have turned back to placing GOD above all else .... we would not have loved ones were it not for GOD , JESUS CHRIST , AND THE HOLY GHOST .... I had some hesitation before GOD told me to help anyone who might just be smart enough to read this .... yes ! , I said GOD speaks to me and not in Person and not out loud .... there is no way to explain how , other than tell Y’all _ if GOD EVER SPEAKS TO ANY OF YOU , YOU WILL KNOW IT FOR CERTAIN .... however , I usually feel unusually happy and comfortable in the chest/heart region .... I have been doing research and will continue to do so , already finding other Christians who experience the same tall tales , sadly to learn that - one can be a Christian their whole life and never hear one thing from THE HOLY TRINITY .... on FB a sick pervert ( with an affinity for boys , I suspect ) challenged me to prove what I say is true .... he was fighting madder than a Wet Hen .... sin comes from Satan and old man Lucifer seems to have that guy already bound with chains .... I can prove it to some on FB .... they know that very few people will read this comment on this site and I would not normally take the time to say this much , unless I had more viewers , but this is where I was when GOD wanted me to reach out to someone in particular .... nah , I would not normally have written about a 4 letter word .... lol ! .... it is Great to be a Messenger for the Holy Spirit .... I pray all will accept JESUS CHRIST .... CAN ANYONE NOT AGREE THAT OUR DOGS AND CATS SPEAK TO US VERY CLEARLY AT TIMES WITHOUT A WORD ? .... THERE’S A TRAIN A’COMIN’ ....

I agree with this. This summer was my first year ever doing trap and joined a league right away. I struggled at first trying to find a comfortable position and refining my technique. This shooter's tip on not looking down the barrel is 100% correct...especially when you're shooting from stations 1 and 5. Still something I'm working through myself...

Hitting targets moving toward or away from you creates more reliance on convergence and divergence of both eyes. It's a scenario like hitting a baseball coming toward you. That requires strong binocular coordination. 'Crossers' from left to right and vise versa on the other hand are more dependent on the 'smooth pursuit' function of the eyes; this can be done with just one eye, which is why a lot of people do just fine shotgunning with closing an eye and actually using the bead as a reference point. I think the issue of closing an eye, dimming an eye, tape on the glasses etc is very interesting as many people have different levels of success. I would really like an optometry professional to weigh in on this as I strongly think that the differences are caused by more factors than eye dominance. I concede that if you have the hours in (10, 000 + I'm sure) that Gil Ash does and your mounts are consistent and nearly perfect you can remove the bead from the shotgun. You have to put in the hours to be able to shoot essentially by the "feel" of your mounting position like he's describing. I'll contend that I think he is still aiming the gun. He is aiming by the 'Feel' of the mount. He is still referencing something on his body from his intended target except it is not the bead or even the barrel. He doesn't need to. I find it extremely impressive but unlikely to work for a lot of beginners. If you're a crossed eye / hand dominance beginner I think you'll have a rough time with these techniques. If you're a fairly -experienced right eyed, right handed shooter I suspect it is likely going to advance your shooting and feel like a more natural progression.

When you shoot at clay targets, do you focus strictly on the target or do you look down the barrel toward the target? This simple 2-minute tip is great -- and it'll get you breaking more birds this weekend at the range. Looking for a place to shoot in your area? Search for one at buff.ly/1uQ6naW. buff.ly/1uQ6nb0

Thank you so much for being the first person who knows their stuff. Even the army scares me some times. They use 12g and smaller on big dudes with tactical stuff so it won't recoil and kill you as much for should fire. I have seen large WW1 and PREWW1 guns or large doubles that would not be on the shoulder. But it looks like they are under the armpit near the shoulder. They adjust stance. The small ones for ducks were shoulder or something. It almost feels like Kentucky Carry is good with a strap and front grip on a tommy gun too. I mean, who would expect to carry a 200r drum at the shoulder or do well at the hip? It's the small pistol or auto rifle guns that were shoulder and big rifles were for laying down on your belly with legs spread. LMGs like sniper, or like Tommy I listed if moving for firing. Aren't all SMGs machine pistols really since the tommy and other drums are sub MACHINEGUNS? If people laid down like I listed, then they should be able to have girls firing even 300mag+. Maybe I am off, maybe I am confusing people.

+National Shooting Sports Foundation | NSSF i've been shooting real birds since i was 8 years old ,began with 410 and moved to 12 gauge...i rarely miss flying birds anymore ,birds are tougher than clays because birds can maneuver fast and are unpredictable and can change their speed and direction in a blink of an eye ..so here is the aiming way i developed over the years : i keep both eyes open ,i look down the barrel with both eyes , this makes me see 2 intersecting images of the barrel with the iron sight perfectly aligned ,one image is very transparent and the other is less transparent it's like i can see whats behind the barrel and like the barrel has become like a red dot sight transparent ,i think the most transparent one is what my left eye sees because i use my right eye to aim so the more visible barrel is the aim is straight and it's the one i use the aim from,with both eyes open i can see very clearly the target because i still see a good amount of vision field..sounds unusual and odd but i'm comfortable with it

Teachers like that are few and far between. Gil Ash is one of those. I had the privilege of working with him yesterday. It was incredibly helpful. I can't wait to get out and work on what I learned.

I took OSP shooting class a number of years ago and my shooting improved dramatically. Both Gil and Ms. Vicki are excellent coaches. Their focus on the basics--consistently mounting the shotgun 100's of times over the course of two days--will ensure shooting consistency over the long term. Likely will take their same class again just to brush up on the basics.

Good advice. I've always gone with "You don't aim a shotgun, you point a shotgun". For me it's been especially tough as I'm right handed but left eye dominant. Rifles, no problem. Taught myself before i even knew what eye dominance is. Pistols, I use my left eye. Shotguns have been the hardest. But I always do pretty well.

@tyb525
@tyb525 2 года назад
They say "point don't aim" but I guarantee they can't shoot from the hip if they've never practiced. They need the barrel in their vision. They're still aiming, they're just using a different method that requires hundreds of hours of practice to form muscle memory. Idk about you, but I can look down the barrel like a rifle and still see the moving target and lead it. There's no way a guaranteed straight line down the barrel is less accurate than the imperfect human eyes and brain.

Well, this hardly applies to anyone these days but, it's helpful to understand where your "overlap zone" is when you shoot a Side-by-side, still a bad idea to overconcentrate on the bead though. My 486 has an English straight stock, which for me has improved the fundamentals of my shooting incredibly. Without the ergonomics and "laziness" you can treat pistol-grips with; you will either develop your form and shoot better, or miss a lot and blame the gun for your deficiencies. Only been shooting for a year now, and started out on sporting clays in a "trial by fire" approach to the hobby; which only sunk in when shooting fixed launcher trap halfway through summer. I'm blessed for the things that Beretta has taught me, and glad I followed my heart getting it, because it certainly wasn't cheap, and it's fun to go from total rookie to only man shooting doubles on the local course(amongst my friends who got me into clays) in one year without shooting every weekend/week.

I still don't understand. I have always aimed where i want my shot to go with shotgun. (trap, skeet and sporting clays) I am not a pro but shoot better than most especially when shooting skeet and clays. I aim at my judged lead position depending on target speed and angle both eyes open. I always use the bead to aim where my shot will be going. It may not be right but has always worked for me.
@Messier31NGC224
@Messier31NGC224 4 года назад
You still use the bead, and have it lined up with your shooting eye. The difference is where your eyes focus. It's a limitation of our binocular vision.

I'm in a youth trap shooting team and I hit pretty constant mid to high 20s and my coaches were very impressed because my gun is a Remington 870 wing master and after a practice I hit 48 out of 50 and he asked if it was an improved choke. I have only been in the team for one year and when I started I was hitting 15 to 17 at most. but at one practice something just clicked and it was the best feeling I had ever gotten for a while. and I continued holding the 20s range for a long time. this was 4 months back though. but about a week ago I went to practice and hit a 18 and 19 for about 3 or 4 practices and I was getting annoyed because I have a broken collarbone and it was hitting on one of the practices and the coach kept telling me to do this do that and he was messing me up even more because he was always dogging me and correcting me even when I was hitting them. but I hit my edge back I was at practice and the first round I hit an eighteen and I just clicked and the second I hit a twenty-four.

i am only new to the sport, but my first time shooting clays for fun, i aimed down the barrel using the bead and hit every target. Now being quite interested in actually getting into the sport and shooting frequently, i went along to a club and had a go with an instructor. He told me not to look down the barrel and instead to focus on the target and your hands will automatically guide the gun to the target without looking at the barrel. now this concept sounded plausable, however i missed pretty much 90% of my shots (only by a fraction according to him) because i simply couldnt tell were exactly my barrel was pointing in relation to the target when i pulled the trigger, i mean if my eyes are on the target and not the barrel am i simply supposed to aim and pull the trigger by guessing that the barrel has aligned up with my eyes and the target? so confusing! advice/supporting info???
@DirtRoadGroceryStore

It's not guessing. Your brain will do it without thinking about it. Trying to think about it doesn't work. The most important part is to have a gun that fits and mount it properly. Everything else is automatic.
@1yehny
@1yehny 5 лет назад
I've also read about looking down the barrel and providing a lead to the target. To me, this other way of breaking clays seems more intuitive. How can you have a steady mount of the gun and still be able to look at the target? I thought that your eye is the back sight?

If you really don't aim a shotgun or look at the bead, you should be able to shoot from the hip and have just as good results. My point is, do what works best for you. Some people shoot great with on eye closed. Either way, your gun or target will be blurry, depending on if you have one eye closed or both eyes open.
@rondoschiavoni8840
@rondoschiavoni8840 9 лет назад

So I understand keeping your eye on the target and you'll see two guns... but then when do you know when to pull the trigger? Should the target be in between the two guns or on the left or right one?

If you are right handed you will naturaly be looking down the left of the two. Ignore the right one. Lead your target with the eye that is looking down the barrel which will be the left of the two. The right image of the barrel is just your non domininate eye seeing the barrel but it is not in line with the barrel so ignore it.

Are you saying I should do what you said in the video and then progress to shooting with one eye open focusing on bringing the bead to the bird/target?

Well Gil, I have to say your system works. I'm a brand new shooter and I put 1000 rounds through my shotgun at the trap range aiming it like a rifle, one eye and looking down the barrel. Well I got to a point where my scores were static. I was frustrated and I watched this video for maybe the 4th time and next time I went out to the trap range and it took concentration I now keep both eyes open and as you said your gun will follow your eyes. When I do exactly what you tell me to do I not only hit the clay but I powder it. But when I fall back to over thinking the shot I'll miss every time. If I just trust my eye hand work your method works every time. Now I have to say it's not easy but a few thousand clays and this should be second nature. Thank you for all your great video's. I so would like to be able to break 20 out of 25 kind of consistently. So I'm practicing and having a good time doing it. Thank you!

This works 100%. I used both my eyes instead of one and only looked at the target. Got 23/25 targets when I was getting 10/25

Hmm...I must think about this. I may already be doing this without thinking. I see the bead, the lead and the target in my sight picture. Something to try at the range tomorrow morning. Thx!

What do you do when you have a dominant left eye and you are right handed? Thanks

Im left handed but right eyed and the person that I shoot with makes me shoot with my right hand but I cant aim with both eyes open when shooting with my right hand. What should I do and how should I aim like your talking about?

You have to shoot a lead for a moving target. If you look straight down the barrel, you miss behind the target. you can not look down the barrel and focus on the target at the same time. You look down the barrel to aim your rifle/pistol BUT you point your shot gun. Mr Ash is right on.He is truely a pro at what he does. Anything with a shot gun.

This is really confusing. I don't have any idea what he's talking about. I tried what he said and there's no way to know where the gun is pointed unless you look AT the target but down the barrel from the rib to bead. I'm not saying I look AT the bead. I focus on the target but keep the gun mounted like it's welded to my shoulder and face and then just move the gun to the bird by turning my whole upper body like a turret. If someone could explain what he's doing I'll give it another try because what the hell.

he's talking about leading a crossing bird. If your gun is welded to your face, your looking down the barrel at the crossing bird, then you will always shoot behind the target for lack of lead. you need to look next to the barrel at the bird to lead it. learning how far to look in relation to the gun will just take practice.
