To not move the head off the gun when calling for the bird. If you move your mouth to pronounce letters like the P in pull in changes your connection on the stock.
Good video guys . If you planing to do more shooting videos, how about a shotkam ? Very informative at the post but down range we are in the “dark”. A picture is worth a thousand words ! Nonetheless my favorite podcast ,keep up the good work!!
Excellent video boys!!! I’ve been searching for the last 2 days for a videos similar to this from either one of you guys. No cigar but today I look and here it is. You gentlemen are top of the line. Great podcast keep it going!!!!!!!!!!
There aren’t a lot of trap shooting instructional videos that are readily available. There are DVD’s out there and there are clinics to pay for but, your average younger person wants something like this. Quick, to the point, and right in front of their face. I know it takes time and being compensated would be ideal but this is it. If we can get pros like you guys to keep this sort of thing going it will greatly impact the younger trap shooter or someone who knows nothing about American Trap.
Nice work! I’d be curious to know how much you guys tweak your custom stock compared to the factory stock. Grip and toe-out changes seem pretty common, but I’m interested in hearing about other changes.
Thanks again for the program.Please need some help if is possible.Question is sometimes I see blurred when put the gun on hold point.what do you guy think about it or if I should hold on tap of the house.please if is possible any suggestions is and be appreciated.thanks
How hard are you pressing the gun to your cheek? Is this causing your eye to blur? If it is a hard focus area play with where you are looking out over the gun.
I know you guys have talked about holding on the house, but I have been too different clubs where the trap houses all look different in height. Then what do you do? Or all Trap houses supposed to be a certain height.
Guys, great video as usual. How about covering how to get used to a new gun quicker? I’m fairly new to trap (4 years) and started with a Remington 1100 Sporting. I recently picked up an older Daly SBT and getting back to my previous average has been slower than I expected. What are your thoughts on focused practice methods to get used to a new or different gun more quickly? TIA!
Z & R, I always hear stay at home, don’t move, wait until you see the bird and lastly don’t anticipate the pull. I think we can all agree that it is a fine line between waiting to see the bird and getting beat badly. When I get beat I’m forced to come in from behind ultimately making a 30+ yard shot. Is there something in between? For example, stay home but move on the flash instead of waiting to see a full clay? Thank you for your time. By the way your show is great!
Great video. Always a good time watching how the top pro's shoot. It would be good to see this while using a shotkam so we can get a better idea on where you hold for how long, move to the target and what your actual sight picture looks like when you pull the trigger. I use a shotkam a lot when I practice and find it amazingly helpful seeing hold points , gun movement and best for seeing sight picture. Although I will say because of the excellent camera and editing work there is a ton of information in this video. I will watch it before going shooting, over and over. Thanks for sharing.
What choke do you recommend for ( singles ) when you break the bird at 35 yds from the muzzle ? Thanks. Btw what’s your favorite shot size for singles , shot size for HDCP ?
The information Ricky and Zach shared really helped, especially the toes grabbing the floor! . How you use your body to , drive to the Target! And through it would be appreciated! Regards Jp
Absolutely loving these videos! Just for clarification: when yall say front of the house. You mean this open side as in the farthest away? On post 2 Ricky says he holds on the back corner inside a little. I always assumed from the podcast he holds right on the front of the house. But it’s actually inside the house. Am I correct?
