How To Shoot Pheasants in Slow Motion (Dave Carrie Shooting) 

This is one, if not the best, videos that demonstrates lead. The calm and charismatic way Dave instructs is wonderful. After shooting for many years myself and working hard on my shooting line, bum, belly, beak, I had lost a little confidence in the amount of lead I should allow. This tutorial restored my confidence and made me a more consistent gun. Thank you Dave.

Thank you Dave all good points to remember .Looks so easy in slow motion ,

Beautiful footage, incredible shooting. Thanks for posting it, Dave!

Dave , Absolutely brilliant what a great informative peace of filming top marks keep up your good work.

Excellent video as usual, brilliant insight into how you tackle them birds. Keep up the great work Dave👍

I'm a new subscription member and I absolutely love watching your videos! I have always loved the gentleman's tradition of bird hunting. There's just something about it that eases the soul...

Thanks Dave for trying to teach us mere mortals how to shoot like the legend you are . Learning a lot from your tips. Thanks

I am widow very new to shooting and I look forward to a pheasant shoot at Bettws Hall October 2019. Your videos have helped me imeasurably in every way, from what to wear to explaining the remarkable conservation efforts and benefit to the loacal economy that the shoots provide. And, your instructions on how much lead to give a bird, brilliant. Your kind and lovely remarks to all the participants of your shoots marks you as a true gentleman. Thank you from South Carolina!

Very helpful and informative. I appreciate the understated way you point out the basics like distance and angle of travel along with the elements that come only with experience like nothing the birds behavior, wing beats, flight pattern. Putting it in all-no makes it easier to see what you are talking about while giving the impression that I could do it. Well done. Thank you.

Another excellent video; another generous act of sharing your experience and skill with your fellow shooters; thank you!

Another excellent shooting video from the shooting legend Dave Carrie..........If you're a young shot and want to know how to shoot,, keep watching this man you won't go fair wrong!!!!

Brilliant video Dave .hopefully everybody can learn from this . Keep them coming. All the best 👍

Great video Mr. Carrie, very impressive pictures as everytime! Please carr(ie)y on! Always a great pleasure to see your videos! Thank you from Austria

This is by far the BEST video on driven shooting I have ever seen. Brilliantly captures the shot strings which is very difficult to film. I found the real life lead slow motion really useful. Well done to Dave and the camera operator, an excellent job!

David, as a Brit living here in Virginia USA watching your videos gives me huge amounts of pleasure. It also reminds me of what I am missing through the autumn and winter months. As you are probably aware the majority of 'high' pheasant shooting over here are birds released from towers - not quite the same thing. Keep up the great work.

Dave Carrie: This is wonderfully done. I appreciate your commentary and stating "6-8feet lead", "10-12 feet lead", "12-15 feet lead" and describing the gun and flight path (Crossing, 40-45yards, wing set, wing beat etc.). I am now better prepared to shoot in the weeks ahead in Scotland and make good kill shots. Thank you again and keep up the good work.

Legend Dave, some awesome shooting as always!

Thanks so much for posting this film. Really insightful and very helpfully. Much appreciated.

From Texas U.S.A. to my new British shooting mentor Dave, absolutely fabulous...make that, brilliant!

Awesome video Dave - insights from a master! Thx for the tip on looking for set wings to help judge speed!

Great footage as always! Can’t wait for next season already!

Great film Dave. That was a big help about how much lead to use. Thanks

Dave Carrie = The King of the high pheasant shooting..!

An artist with the shotgun .You never stop learning with a shotgun .but daves consistency on long birds is fantastic .👢👏👏👏

Loved the video, beautiful country side and great example of lead.

Dave as always fab visual and marvelous shooting. Please keep it coming. New Zealand viewer.

Great video & very informative and helpful especially to young guns.

Any shooting is good Dave . No matter if you can see the shot or not everything is good. The shooting and any part of the day is good to capture

Hello Dave, excellent content with this video explaining the thought process behind each bird shot at. Reading the distance, the line flown and whether the pheasants have set their wings or not and how this translates to bird speed and the actual lead required. I have watched this video numerous times and hope it translates to more confident kills in the coming season on both pheasants and partridges. I will keep you posted on the results! Regards from Steven in Lincoln, UK.

A very informative video. Can’t wait for this seasons stuff to be uploaded.

This video has helped me on my fast clays about 35yds and the 40 yarder there fast at the club thanks Dave for your help with my lead...

Great film Dave ,nice you show the misses and why ,learnt a lot cheers 👍

Cracking video Dave, love it!

Great stuff Dave, well done. Looking forward to the Welsh monster birds!

Cracking video Dave, that was some badboy shooting right there!!! Keep up the good work

As usual a very good video and fantastics drives ! Thanks Dave for this lovely views.

A great video Dave........I learnt a lot 👍

First time to visit this channel. Great shooting and great filming combined! I have been shooting clays and hunting pheasants and ducks for about 50 years. Last year, I purchased a ShotKam. Adding that tool your shotgun would make your videos perfect and would give a visual sight picture to combine with your excellent commentary. Thanks for sharing your decades of shooting experience with the next generation! Best regards from California.

Speed of bird and speed of swing certainly play a big part too! Good video, thanks Dave

Great learning pointers... if the bird has set its wings its travelling and requires more lead even though it appears to moving more slowly than the ones beating their wings...

Great Dave this video will help me a lot whether I,m crow ,pigeon or clay shooting thank you again.

EXCELLENT VIDEO. DAVE CARRIE WAS THE BEST PUPIL I EVER HAD..

I put this comment on your film about Chargot with your Danish friends, but worth repeating Dave,.......The thing I like about the slow motion shots/kills is the way it shows just how to mount,come through and "lead" a bird. My father used to tell me when I was little (70+ years ago!!), to stare at the bird and in your peripheral vision let the muzzles "hose" the bird like a water hose aimed in front of a dog running across in front of you!! That shows up very clearly in some of the kills, especially incomers as at 4:30. It is, in my opinion the perfect shot on a high pheasant, killed in front at 40+ yards and shows how to mount behind the tail, pull through and the kick of the gun does the rest as you catch up with the head of the bird!!! Brilliant!!

I’m from the Ozark mountains of Missouri and going on my first pheasant hunt dec 3and I’m glad your using foot and yard to describe how far to lead

Great stuff Mr Carrie love watching you vids

Very nice video. I love how you talk through your shots.

Brilliantly instructive Dave!

I’ve seen a couple of your videos now and love the production!

Love you dave. More respect from pakistan. Thankyou for your tips. We will apply them this season in Partridge hunting

Excellent video which answers a lot of questions from fellow shooters who often ask "how much lead did you give that high bird". It is often much more than they think and I many times I replied " a farm gate and a bit more". Here we can actually see that very well , and it is much better to lead with the shot string than miss behind. Very good instructional video from the best county in England. The shot string can be as long as 5 yards at 40 yards (or more) depending of the distance to the target.

You've joined the 40 yard brigade.....!!....LOL...Great shooting and good explanations Dave .... Certainly one I will take on board next time I see them still flapping or wings set...

Evening David, just a quick comment to say how much this video has helped me with my shooting. I used to rush my shooting and follow the bird for too long. Today I used many of your techniques and my gosh what a different day I’ve had today! Bloody brilliant 10/10 👍 would love to meet you one day

First class, best video yet

Well Dave a picture saves a thousand words but this was Awsome!. I notice the wad giving a good visual on the way up but soon losing velocity. As for your monster bird it looked like an Aspirin with wings just pure class. This has been an eye opener but as you know practice and regular shooting are required to shoot to this very high standard. I really enjoyed this one. Well done to all the team and a special nod to the camera man brilliant footage. Regards Tony

Grandioso tirador, maravillosos vídeos. Gracias Dave.

What an unreal video, I don't even hunt but i've subscribed. Nice to hear someone from up north on youtube as well

Great vídeo has always Dave , I would like to see some shotkam footage. Would be great to see the lead you give with this câmara . Very good shooting . Regards from Portugal

Brilliant video as always Dave, me and my dad have started watching your channel religiously. Perfectly edited and some of the most informative commentary on RU-vid 👍🏻 just a little question, what was your gun choked at for this episode? 👍🏻

Absolutely stonking video, brilliant and one of the best you have made. It would be great to be able to split the screen; so you can see these shots complimented with shotcam footage as well. Also like the misses with you expert explanation as you can learn as much about them as the hits. Repeating this on screaming Welsh monsters will be epic! Well done keep up the good work!

The best pheasants hunting techniques ever seen.

Enjoyable watch 👍🏻Good tips Dave Thanks

Great footage and narration Dave as usual. I so wish you had a shotkam for such tutorials. Any thoughts on getting one for the season ahead?

You Sir are a sniper! Incredible shooting and nice to see you go for the sporting birds.

Great video dave very very helpful... Keep up the good work 👏

Brilliant video as usual

Brilliant Dave

Great footage Dave

This is soooo handy. I keep using this video

Dave another great video and you're shooting never ceases to amaze me

Great film work there and humble enough to include misses.

Another bloody good video dave just goes to show you don't hit them all, keep up the good work

Fantastic video to give you an idea how much lead is needed for taller birds thankyou keep the advice and videos coming

Love the tips on lead David, but would love to see it on a shotkam , Damien in Dublin, 🍀🍀

Great video. I was waiting for one of these where you show the required lead at different distances. What chokes are you using? Would love to see more of pattern testing and reviews of your shotguns. Best regards!

Fantastic again Dave some absolutely outstanding shots there. Have you ever considered using a shot cam for this type of film. Keep the videos coming fantastic ambassador for our sport.

Excellent!

fantastic,you can just see how the shot gun makes shooting so very easy

Love the camera work and shooting was brilliant. From a fellow shooter in Wakefield keep up the good work.

Legend 👑

Brilliant Dave.... thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍 I’m never confident past 40 yards or so, but this is inspiring 👍👍

som verey nice shoots, and strong flying birds

Exellent shooting. Wish you have a gun camera with the red dot to show exactly how you're pointing and leads. Good job and look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Great video Dave

Bravo Dave, and thanks for this.....it truly is a lesson in how it should be done. I'm always hard pressed to put a figure in feet on high birds that I shoot....is it 3 feet or is it 10 feet? You know that it looks different for every shooter and is difficult to quantify. It seems if I focus hard on the head of the bird and trust my hands to move the gun through or away from the bird I connect solidly, although sometimes it takes a first barrel miss to provide the impetus to really see the line for a second barrel kill. Great video and I always look forward to your next one! Best regards.

Well done, some very nice shooting.

what an incredible video

Great film Dave, as with all shot gun shooting its the line, speed of gun and the amount of lead. I sometimes misread a target and miss in front and then end up over leading birds thinking I am missing behind. Seeing your barrel and bird in slow mo and with you saying how much lead you are giving each bird shows just what the amount of lead looks like. I try to just shoot instinctively but its important to know where you are going wrong when missing. This film certainly helps see the lead needed to kill the birds cleanly. Great camera work and as always Dave, great shooting from yourself. Many thanks.

Great video. Thank you sir.

Thanks for the great video and tips Dave, will apply them with my Browning B725 UK Premium Hunter II and My Black Golds 32gr n.6 😊 Greetings from Jordan

I you have really helped me your my hero and the person I look up to thanks and I have met you

Great shoot video.

Dave, a brilliant show of skill. 40 years ago I had a lesson from Rob Gallyon of Norwich - I couldn't connect with crossers on my left side. He said because i am short-ish and broad shouldered, give birds on the left less lead than on the right. On the left, your head is in front of the gun, vice versa on the right. It works! But I do hamper myself by using a S by S ?? !!

Very informative video Dave. Just finished a short hunt in South Dakota and I killed a couple of birds at 60 plus required a 12 to 14 foot lead . I used Federal wingshot 1and 3 eighths ounce at 1500 fps number 5 shot. They are wicked.

Maravilloso todo ...muy buenos tiros. !!!

Great video thanks

Very informative video, thank you. Very useful points regarding state of wings and what that means for bird speed. When you refer to amounts of lead in feet, I assume you mean the actual distance in front of the bird, correct? Have you considered a video using the one of the mounted camera gadgets at all? Thank you.

Fantastic film..

Great shooting

Great camera work u see the shot going straight towards the birds 👌

awesome movie!best qulity
