I taught trapshooting for many years and found that when my students grasped and instituted this skill, their improvement increased exponentially. And oddly enough, I found getting over this hurdle was easier for the inexperienced over those with years of shooting under their belts. No bad habits to break and no established muscle memory to overcome I’m guessing.

@cobycrandell6430 9 месяцев назад

Definitely as someone that’s shot with one eye open since 9 to trying to switch it to both eyes at 21 Is a challenge

@kdsowen2882 6 месяцев назад

As an older (bad habits-shooter ) I absolutely agree

@dukebeach1 5 месяцев назад

Every time I get into the stand for a round of sporting clays I always remind myself to “look at the bird” all the way through the trigger pull. It absolutely helps to pre-condition your thoughts to focus on this only. Your body will instinctively know what to do with the gun to execute the shot. This is why I love wing shooting the most. I do all kinds of recreational shooting, but nothing is a challenging and fun every time you pull the trigger than wing shooting!!

@Bass1923 11 месяцев назад

Best explanation of this I've heard. Makes sense. Shooting rifle almost exclusively over the last several decades makes it difficult to break the habit of aiming. I'm thinking practice with this technique will develop the coordination to pull it off.

best explanation for pointing vs aiming that ive heard.

@attananightshadow 8 месяцев назад

Being left eye dominant (20/15 vs 20/20) and a right handed taught shooter keeping both eyes open has been an interesting endeavour. The one thing that did help for sure was just focusing on the target and not looking at the bead. This has improved greatly, but I’ll still do a quick glance at the bead and back to the bird for stretch shots (50+yards); no guarantee on if both eyes are open or not. All I know is birds do go down at 50-70 often… I try not to think about it. though my 100% preference is decoying them or flushing them and taking the shot at 20-30. This video is really good advice.

I’m pretty inexperienced with shotguns, and toward the end of a shoot I realized I was pointing rather than aiming, and hitting way faster and better. Lots of shooting definitely helped, and some guns definitely suited me better than others.

@GrAYvTrAnE 5 месяцев назад

I'm pretty green at shotgun sport shooting but I learned exactly this. I really don't even bother aiming. In fact I don't think about it at all. I figure the spread of the shot should cover my margin of error. No one's called me a bad shot. I find people on this side of shooting are extremely friendly and supportive. I've been told by several old timers who are good at it that I'm severely handicapped by using a pump and that I should buy an Over/Under.

Richard Alden Knight's book "Mastering the Shotgun" has a great concept that works very well; act as if the shotgun is a broom and you are sweeping the "bird" out of the sky. As always, don't sweep to it; sweep through it. Especially good technique for teaching newbees for live game.

@alexeybazhukhin1786 9 дней назад

I took one lesson in trap and then purchased a hundred of clays to practice on my own after. Obviously my experience is literally nonexistent, but I literally missed all the targets I was "pointing at" and reliably hit 8 out of 10 I was "aiming at" or I have no idea what R U talking about. Other than that - I have almost zero firing experience so having 8 out of 10 was pretty satisfying

@danielsullivan9865 11 месяцев назад

I agree with everything except only 10% of shooters actually point where they are looking. Eye dominance and cross dominance is a huge problem for shotgun shooters. Vision is also a huge problem, some shooters are seeing blurry flares or aspirins and the top shooters see saucer or plate sized defined targets. Vision also affects balance which is hand I coordination. Love this channel.👍

@rosshill2565 9 месяцев назад

I am great on upland game I usually shoot 80% or better. I played baseball and football so my quick twitch eye hand is good. But on Ducks and Geese I constantly have to battle between aiming and shooting natural like I do with upland game. I stems from quick reaction on jumping birds and the slow wait on decoying or pass shooting birds. I shoot a rifle very good and quite often, which mixes in shotgun shooting.

@erikwilson7622 11 месяцев назад

Another great pointer. I think one of the starting points for shooting both eyes open, has to be,,, gun fit. AND, patterning your shotgun. Patterning with both eyes open starts to give you confidence by knowing where your scatter gun shoots. Guys like Steve, don't seem to have that issue, as he can shoot any shotgun, however, 95% of us need to follow a path and steps to success.

@thomaspiscitello7330 11 месяцев назад

I have never "patterned" my gun. Don't do it. you don't need to "think" about what your pattern is doing. Just focus on the target. Don't look at lead either. Hard focus on the target.

@danielsullivan9865 11 месяцев назад

@@thomaspiscitello7330 Pointing at a spot on the pattern board is extremely important for a new shooter. Then teaching exact leads for fixtargets is also important for new shooters. Some shooters excel quicker with a sustained lead. Others excel quicker with a pass-through. Some excel quicker with a pull ahead or moified pull head which is an excellent technique for precise lead on long targets. Teaching lead to new shooters is one of the most important thing to keep them from wasting time trying to hunt and peck.

Born and raised outdoors does a lot of pattern testing. Check them out. Also buy a choke you think would be good for your needs after researching and then buy different shells you would practically use and go see what works better at different yardage, 20,30,40etc. That being said, stock chokes work awesome too. Just try different shell types and see what’s most dense and consistent.

@rmcgraw7943 17 дней назад

After 30 yrs shooting, I ONLY aim with rifles, and with shotguns when turkey hunting. Any other shooting, I dont aim. I no longer need to aim with a pistol under 30 yards (farther than I would bother shooting). Under 30 yards, I simply point like I point my finger and it’s done. I can’t remember when I missed a shot, but it was probably about 13 yrs ago. I generally dont shoot, however, unless I know my target is within range and I am attempting a feasible shot. For the most part, nowadays, the only challenge I have with guns is 1000+ yards with my .270 Weatherby Mag (and finding ammo for it. LOL).

@freecitizen7372 11 месяцев назад

I have never shot with both eyes open. I have never patterned my shotgun. Having a shotgun that fits correctly is important. Having a gun that is weighted and balanced properly is important. Knowing how to properly mount a gun is important. Using the clay as the sight is important. No matter what shooting ground you go to, the machines are calibrated to throw the clays the same trajectory and at the same speed. Once you learn the routine it becomes quite boring. To improve shooting have a friend use a clay wand and change up the throw with each clay. That way the trajectory and speed are different every time.

Not entirely an accurate comment. In a lot of styles, every target is different, especially in sporting type disciplines and skeet. Not sure what discipline you are shooting.

@Fehrman21114 11 месяцев назад

I am somewhat new to this kind of shooting, and I agree with what you said. But, my question is, what are you seeing when you pull the trigger? Is the bead/muzzle of the barrel covering the bird or is it leading? At the time you pull the trigger, I'm assuming you are now also aware of the end of the barrel in relation to the bird as part of the overall picture that your eyes are seeing, and not just the bird?

@MrJohneeutah 11 месяцев назад

There will always be a lead unless the target is stationary. It may only be a tiny amount on some targets but always a lead. What I see is the target and am just aware of where the gun is pointed. Much like driving a car: you don’t look at the hood of your car to keep it between the lines, you look down the road and your hand-eye coordination does that for you…your aware of where the car is but you’re not looking at it. As long as you know what your target is doing (where it’s going and how fast) your brain will do the math and put the shot where it needs to be as long as you focus on the target. As he said there are other factors in play such as stance and gun fit it will work every time. As your mental catalog of targets you’ve had success with grows the process becomes even easier. …and no I don’t break everything i shoot at but my issues are keeping my head on the stock and stopping the gun…and the targets that I don’t read correctly. Hope that helps some!! Have fun out there!!!

@filster1934 11 месяцев назад

I have said for a long time that one of the worst things manufacturers ever did was put ventilated ribs on shotguns. I know of so many casual shooters who think the rib is the sighting plain and you "aim" right down it, not focusing on the bird. The best wing shooters I have ever shot with had plain/non vent rib shotguns.

@crisnevin7934 3 месяца назад

Mine seems to change irregularly. I shoot both with rifle and pistol, and sometimes have to remind my brain which eye it's supposed to be focusing on. Like I'll be shooting right/right, and my brain will switch to left eye randomly. It screws me up for a moment, and when I realize what's going on I just close the eye I'm not supposed to be using for a second or two, then I'm good to go for a while again with both eyes open. A few years back when I was doing it every day, I didn't have to readjust which eye I was using. But now that I'm just doing it very occasionally, I've had to start doing it again.

@noneofyourbusiness4622 11 месяцев назад

Eyes OVER the barrel, both wide open, see the bird, swing it into the bird, as it passes through the bird pull the trigger. By the time your trigger finger pulls, your barrel is in front of the bird, right where you want it. DO not STOP THE GUN!!! Birds straight away must be covered. Buy a good shotgun for trap. I had all kinds, Win 101, Browning, the best by far was a Model 12 made in 1932 with a shorter barrel, solid rib and a cut down stock. It patterned 7 1/2 and 8 so well that you had to make it miss. The shot pattern is as long as it is wide, if you don't put it in front of the bird you'll miss a lot.

@TargetFocusedLife 11 месяцев назад

I wouldn’t recommend it. To see the red dot, you need to focus on the sight, not the target. We have some upcoming videos about mounting and gun fit. If you have a solid mount and the gun fits you moderately well, not even a front bead is needed. Shooting a shotgun is like pointing your finger l, just point where you are looking. We will also have upcoming videos about lead.

I agree with not aiming your shotgun (of course) but pointing your Shotgun…. that makes sense. But I think he should’ve started off initially saying that your Shotgun should fit you correctly and when it’s mounted properly your eyes are automatically looking down the rib of the gun. THEN you point the gun…. To shoot the clay. And you will get to the point where you never even see the beads of your shotgun. It’s a crazy concept for new clay shooters… but you have to trust the process

@ducklife5150 8 месяцев назад

I do. All of my shotguns are right handed. These were originally bought so my right handed son could use my shotguns as needed. It depends if the shotgun manufacturer gives you all casting shims to set up for left handed. That's why I love Beretta because they give you everything to shim your gun properly. Negative is that the chamber opens towards your face. In all the years I have shot a right handed gun left handed, only a few times have I had powder blown in the eyes from firing a shell. I now wear glasses regularly.

@MrSmiths 8 месяцев назад

Agree 100%. I have learned from a lifetime of shooting that with both eyes open my aim point has to have a right offset. My technique is to get a quick two eye acquisition, then roughly point with right offset, and then finally close my left eye to fine tune and pull the trigger. If I don't close my left eye to fine tune then my misses go up significantly. If I don't start with two eyes open then my shot is slower. Sounds more complicated than it actually is.

@mrsmartypants_1 6 месяцев назад

@@MrSmithsUnfortunately that’s what I also do. I’m right handed and extremely left eye dominant and for many years have been using your technique.

It’d be a big hump to conquer. I’m strictly a bird hunter and rarely have a chance to shoot clays.

What you have here is a definition problem. You fail to define what you believe aiming to be and what it is not. Ppl are shooting at a moving target so they have to see the target, move the gun and pull the trigger at the right time. This requires certain abilities and skills sight, movement and co-ordination. Just because the skills are different to rifle shooting does not mean aiming is absent. The opposite in fact. Seeing the target, moving the shotgun to the appropriate place etc is all part of aiming. The statement that moving a shotgun barrel is the same as hand-eye co-ordination is medically erroneous. Muscle memory tells you where your hands/arms are - it does not tell you where your barrel is in relation to the target. Your description of focal v peripheral vision was also in error. Its all to do with focal length. Seeing the target, the barrel and the firing point is called aiming. Focusing on the target and pointing the shotgun in the wrong direction aint gonna work.

Well, that was a waste of 5 min. I've been doing this since I was 10, and based on the shots I saw in this video, anybody could nail them (In 1 take, not however many it took!)

Stop "aiming" and just look down the barrel! Watch what happens? 😂 🎉

Really well explained. I assume you want to improve all aspects of your life, so work on using "versus" correctly. People say "verse" today but it's incorrect. Rock on.
