Just a quick thank you for all your hard work. Your advice does not fall on deaf ears! 💥
Thanks for that!
Excellent advice 👍🏻 I believe most underestimate the mental component to shooting consistently well.
Absolutely
In the Southeastern US [commonly referred to as "the South"], we call that a 'shotgun' lesson. Boom, Spread, Covered. Bravo!
You have just revealed all my poor shooting excuses, have to try improving my shooting skills, Good video as usual
Don't stress Dan, there are plenty of more excuses out there.
Great Tips, appreciate your knowledge and video's. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
Definitely agree that the location of the break doesn't tell you anything at all about the pattern itself, but surely it can tell you something about where the gun is pointing and/or relatedly, the proper amount of lead?
I have seen slow many slow motion videos where a straight target has clearly been shot out down the left side of a target, but the clay breaks apart on the right side due to the spinning motion of the target. sadly it is not a good guide.
Fabulous video , absolutely spot on 👏👏👍
Many thanks!
I encourage my competition to pursue believing all these myths. I'll invest on what actually matters.
Wise choice
Another knowledgeable vid. Keep up the good work 👍
Much appreciated
Wow!! So much, so fast!! My favorite: I will go with clear (natural?) glasses on overcast days! Thanks.
Enjoy!
First of all, i liked this video very much. Second a dull question but why you talk in yards? Doesn’t Australia use the metric system ?
The country that views our videos the most is the USA followed by the UK. They use yards
I work with Holly. 5VG (seat 1)
I feel sorry for you :)
good advice . always good to hear from you
I appreciate that!
Russell,
As I get older I do experience a little fatigue late in a match of 100 targets. My gun weighs 9lbs 4oz (with tubes) and it is beautifully balanced. My apprehension of lightening the gun is for the same reason mentioned in your video, increased recoil. Any suggestions other than it’s time to get in the gym.
It’s a tough one. Sadly you can’t wind back age.
Have you tried slightly lower velocity ammunition? Without reducing the amount of shot reducing velocity is the only answer without brushing off your he dust of your dumbbells 💪
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
100% agree with all 5 - excellent
Thank you
Thank you, Mark. I'm going to share that with the club loudmouth, Yewuz Beyindit.
Please do
Good advice 👍
How to choose a shotgun when its difficult to get hands on different models? Im interested in something like a entry level k80 (new) and dt11, ive shot a blaser f3 and shot it well and felt recoil was low. K80 interests me as its potentially my last ever gun (20-30 years) where as f3 i potentially could change in 10 years, therefore k80 would be cheaper in the long run. Dt11 low recoil interest's me i haven't shot one.
All 3 are fine guns. The K80 and DT11 probably have better resale value, but if it’s your “last shotgun” that’s not an issue. Sadly there is never “one last shotgun” 😂
Great video!
Thanks!
Regarding barrel lenght, a long barrel does increase the "effective distance " of shooting? Or is another mith. I shoot olympic trap with an Browning b25 Sp Trap 28" , very consistently. I feel confortable but many people said I must use longer barrels due the "effective distance". In my opinion longer barrels gives only better inertia for swing movement.
No barrel length has nothing to do with the actual physical distance you can use your shotgun at. The advantage with longer barrels is simply shots taken at large distances the extra sighting plane of the longer barrels will, in theory, help accuracy. At shorter distances the longer barrels may be a burden (station 2 in Skeet for example)
@@GoShooting Thanks a lot for the clarification. Now is time to start a "fight" with my partners haha. Greetings
Top class information
Glad you enjoyed it
re. the lightweight shotgun. How light is lightweight? The current Silver Pigeon 12 bore is 2.9kg, according to Beretta's catalogue. Is that too light for trap/skeet etc? What is a reasonable guideline for how light is too light for those disciplines?
Ralph with a shotgun under 3kg you will need to be a little selective on the ammunition you use. Steer clear of any high velocity rounds otherwise it will hurt both ends!!
Thanks a lot. What kind of sight do you have on that Beretta high rib?
Good Job!💪
That’s a “crossfire eliminator” sight
@@GoShooting thank a lot 🙏.
I have some problem with eye dominance.
Hahaha # 1 we all know that guy 😂😂
Sir , my question is regarding lead- if i always meant to be looking at the target and gun will (hopefully) shoot where i am looking , where do i look for a target that requires significant lead? Do I maintain focus on the target and push the gun away at the last split second to establish the lead, or do I focus ahead of the target by lead amount just before l pull the trigger?
It depends what type of lead you are trying to use. What you describe is the "pull away" technique that is very common in sporting clays. Have a look at the videos we have done on the topic of "lead" and it will be explained in greater detail.
Excellent! I have shot 8 to 8.5 lb shotgun to me it feels like a telephone poles. I shoot about 150 clay with 6lbs guns and don't feel recoil. If I had a heavy gun and shooting more clay say 300 I would find the 8 or 9lb gun very heavy. So I think if recoil bothers anybody find another hobby. Thanks for the great advice.
It is all relative to the ammunition you decide to throw down the barrel
Is that 6lb a semi auto? I know of precious few 6 lb 12 gauge overunders with the barrel length I would want for shooting trap.
Its a Rizzini BR110 28 gauge over under runs between 5.75lbs to 6lbs. Nice gun reasonably priced. Not high end about $2000.
@@avocado9763 ok hold up saying you arent recoil shy with a 6 lb gun but its a 28 is a whole different story.
I load and shoot 28s but thats just not the story. I get it on skeet shoot a subgun catagory but you grab a 6 lb 12 gauge and come shoot 4 rounds of trap when everyone else is loading an ounce and an eighth and tell me how that gun feels after 100 shots.
I have a 28 side by side at 4.5 lbs and it is unpleasant to shoot. So call a spade a spade 6 is a heavy 28 gauge. it is a light 20. it is extremely light for a 12.
No bonus points on trap.
Wow, this is all the same stuff I’ve been saying for years, but it seems more meaningful coming from an Olympian
I used to say the same thing when my father told me stuff that at a later date someone else
told me :)
I could not agree with you anymore mate ,
👍🏽
