How to lead a target when shotgun shooting 

It’s so hard to get a shotgun in the UK Iv got the forms and shot but because of corrona nan

The range of the ducks being highly variable, this would have to be an elastic gun length.

At that distance the lead shots may cool down

Looked at it again. Just saying...

High School Trap Team?! You ain't from 'merica, are you? The Liberals would have a hussy fit if they tried that here in the USA.

Jerry Johnson II.410? Why handicap yourself like that lol. 12 gauge

Same

Why only once a year ?

Brian J WEST VIRGINIA HELL YEAH

Skeet or Improved Cylinder more than likely !!!!

We are using open chokes because of the close range targets. Most use Skeet and Skeet but I like a little more choke so tend to use improved cylinder and quarter...this rreally breaks them well and gives confidence on the crossing targets from the middle stations. Nothing more enjoyable than really smoking the clays?!

Except here in American we use a Vepr AK shotgun with a 30 round drum and just shoot like crazy at the clay. I kid though.... I just use a single shot 12 ga and have a good time.

Ha yes

rudder727 nice to hear you like VEPR's. Its one of the most popular guns here in Greece together with Saigas.

its gday lol

nicerperson when you continue to follow it breaks the habit of stop and shoot causing shoot behind misses

nicerperson , the importance of the follow through is to make the shot pattern fly the same way the target is flying, did the target stop? No, either should you gun, it also has to deal with how much of a lead you are giving, if you stop your swing with gun, you lost your lead

if you dont follow through you have a tendency to stop your swing as you pull the trigger, leading to a miss behind the bird.

If you don't follow through as a matter of practice, your tendency is to stop the gun at the moment you pull the trigger. Unfortunately, the shot does not leave the barrel at the exact moment your finger moves on the trigger. While everything happens really quickly, the process still involves a falling hammer, the firing pin striking the primer, primer ignites the powder, pressure forces the shot from the barrel. I know it happens extremely quickly. But if you quit on the shot when your brain tells your finger to pull the trigger, it can absolutely lead to a miss. I know people who claim to practice staying in the gun for a full 3 seconds after the shot is fired to avoid the tendency to quit on the shot prematurely.

nicerperson I believe the follow through is used if you miss on the first shot? The idea is to keep the gun moving,so you dont stop and then have to catch up to the clay? Happy to be corrected if wrong. Cheers!

Rottweil Skeet Olympia 72 maybe? Ik it’s been three years but here ya go

Thanks for your question Peter. Some people say they can see the shot under certain light conditions, but this is often only when looking over a mate’s shoulder or only as a flash of light if you’re looking up into a cloud bank on a sunny day. It’s better seen with plated shot and less so with standard lead shot. There are shells that incorporate some sort of tracer material. Winchester’s AA Traacker load incorporates a black or orange wad for either bright or overcast conditions that is designed to spread the petals and spin like a rifle bullet when it separates from the shot it is delivering and so it follows the shot line very accurately due to retaining some of the shot and therefore being heavier than a normal wad. This provides a fairly accurate idea of where your shot is in relation to the target, at least at normal clay target-type ranges. These are available at most good gunshops and online gun supplies shops.

Magnificum Imperium looks like beretta. Like a 686

Krieghoff K80 as part of reviewing that splendid gun. Normally use a Beretta DT 10L with left-handed stock and 32" barrels. The K80 also sports 32" barrels

How did you know :) :)

Alex Peterson smaller size shot, i use size 7-8 for clay targets

Lean more forward

Use lighter recoiling shells, add weight to the gun, put on a more recoil absorbing recoil pad, get your gun back-bored and relieve the forcing cones. You could also port the barrels.....phew...and have a look at how well your gun fits you as a well fitting gun recoils a lot less than one that doesn't.

The camera is a GoPro mounted on a helmet just above the shooter’s eyeline.

No.

You can shoot that way but two eyes open is better if you can teach yourself to do that. Just gives a better view of what is going on in the shooting process.
