- Clay pigeon shooting lessons, after seeing many students fail with their eye placements after lockdown I decided to shoot a round and find the consequences
Ben, it’s good to hear that you have tried to take yourself back to be able to see what a lot of your students are probably experiencing, sometimes when a trainer is as accomplished as you are - they forget what the student is experiencing and struggling with because the skill is so engrained and second nature to you. Well done.
Great content Ben! “Leaving early” is a problem I suffer with from time to time. I’ve come to realize anxiety is usually the problem.
Always a pleasure watching you. I'm in Maryland across the pond we say thank you I'm
picking up at breaking more clays it's very addicting watching them blo up in dust .
I love the rabbits and high birds all because of your videos so thank you Ben
I have been missing these.....alot. Glad your back. Hope all is well.
Great videos on shooting live in California were we are locked down with curfews 6pm to 6am nice got to love that I'm a club trap shorter just getting hooked on sporting clays thanks keep them coming 👍👍👍
Thanks Ben . Interesting.
Great tip
The first bad habit I quickly broke was to call for the bird with the gun mounted. It just doesn't work for me. I don't want the bead anywhere near my focal point until I'm (nearly) locked on to the target. Sometimes I fall into a trap, due to lazy thought patterns, of mounting on my call and if the pull is the least bit delayed I;m back to my original focal problems, I dismount in between shots unless it's a true pair.
I tend to rationalize the missed clays by telling myself they looked politically conservative
Will give this a go tomorrow, 👍.Great as always !
You need to give you gun a clean 😂
I was shooting yesterday and had an interesting WTF. Eyesight related... probably...
Target is a sort of a teal.
First shot - eyes to the clay. Miss. Second shot - same. Third shot - whatever reason my eyes go in the sky... If you take a lead, rotate it 90 degrees up and place one end at the center of the real lead - the other end will be where I was looking. And Hit. Three times in a row.
Then I took a pause to shoot other targets and came back to this one. Same!!! Eyes to the target = miss. Eyes to the sky = hit.
But this never ever worked with other targets.
So, WTF?
The only thing I noticed - this clay seemed to be a lot brighter than others. But they all are the same standard orange clays.
