Thanks for video, very helpful. The hardest clays for me are the far left from position 1 and surprisingly straight clays from position 3. I am always forcing myself to move slowly to clay, or I will overshot.
I like your video and your voice over. I do have a question if you don't mind. I have never shot this type of clays. My brothers and I would shoot for the enjoyment. There has been many times That I would go through 2 boxes of shells (S&W 12ga pump with 36" extra full choke) and never miss a shot. We never knew what the other brother was loading into the thrower (singles, doubles or triples). It got to the point that I would turn with my back facing the direction the birds were going, so I would have to turn around , find the bird then shoot the birds. I just had a knack for it. To my question is. What is the difference in shoot trap and shoot skeet?
I started trap in a league this year, i use a mossburg 12 ga pump. Been shooting 15-20. But i never heard that tip about not looking down the barrel before. Im a pistol shooter also and find myself useing my front bead but not my mid site. I will definitly try the focal point aiming. Hopefully ammo shortage will come back to where i can practise more.
"I don't even call it missing, I call it learning...You learn more from the shots you miss than from the shots you hit." Great attitude! I've been reading a lot about deliberate practice and that is a central point in it. Thank you very much for the time you took to make this video. I'm starting with trap shooting and videos like this really bring things into perspective.
you all probably dont care at all but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
So it doesnt matter if your cross eye dominate as a right handed shooter? Just keep both eyes open on the bird without looking down the barrel or the bead? Its hard to understand how you would hit the target without aiming down the sights.
Point your index finger at an object with both eyes open. Hold on that object and now look at your finger. Your object becomes two!! Shotgunning is not a precise sport like pistol or rifle. when I shoot pistol my main focus is on my front sight. In shotgunning because of leads and movement your eyes and hands will shoot the target and your gun is a tool much like a carpenter pounding a nail with his hammer. His eyes are fixed on the nail, his hand guides his tool to the nail. Your shot is traveling 819 mph with the bird coming out of the house at 43 mph. You are trying to put that bird in your circle of shot which is roughly 33 inches at 40 yards. Again not a precise sport but more of a finesse sport. You must stay smooth to the but still be deliberate. It's a great sport that becomes 99% mental after awhile. See you on the line my friend and get um all!!!
@@hunttherackett9826 Thank you. That is one of the best explanations I have heard. So when you shoulder the gun do your eyes stay on the bird 100% of the time and follow the target through. I really want to try this out. I went to the club gun shop the other day and shouldered quite a few different popular models of 12 guage and 20 guage shotguns. Ultimately, I decided on the Benelli Montefeltro semi auto shotgun. Can't wait to try it out.
When you first mount your gun make sure you line your beads up to the figure 8. That should be the last time you see the barrel. Then it's all eyes on the bird until you see it break. Remember to keep the gun moving. Your eye hold should be just above the house with your gun hold on the house. Good luck my friend!!!
No you don't. You should only see the bird. The camera shows you how your hands and brain position the gun to hit the bird. you are aware of the gun through your periphial vision but you should focus on the bird as hard as you can. your gun should hit what your looking at.
If you are looking at the bird and swinging the gun your brain will tell you to pull the trigger. The sensation is you are shooting the bird as you are passing through the bird. In fact you can see the relationship of the gun to the bird is in front of the bird. You don"t see the lead until you see it through the camera. You are supposed to keep both eyes on the bird and not look at your bead or gun. Sorry it took so long to respond. See you on the line my friend!
