From a shooter with pistol competition, rifle/long range rifle with high school trap competitions, you guys offer a pretty (internet bias) free, in depth, legitimate questions and experiments and do your best to get the best results, I am definitely looking forward to watching more of your stuff!
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback! That’s exactly what we’re going for. Please keep the questions and comments coming. We’re always looking for ways to improve our methods. Also, if you have any subjects you’d like to see covered, let us know!

Good stuff Fellas. My son and I have taken up sporting clays this year. He had never used a shotgun before and I hadn’t for 40 years. It’s addictive. I use a Miroku M11 AC ; son uses an Akkar Churchill ( Turkish made Beretta knockoff). He shoots much better than me despite the much cheaper gun and won a nice Christmas ham on the weekend; I won a chook. I’m also dabbling in some social skeet to help train for sporting. We shoot gun down for sporting and skeet. Here in Oz we generally shoot gun down for sporting. Is this not the case in the US? Looking forward to some more vids.
Thanks for the comment! Glad to hear you guys are enjoying getting back into shotgun sports (and first time for him). I have heard those Mirokus shoot nicely. Will have to add those to my list for upcoming comparisons! We definitely have a lot of people who shoot from a low mount in the US, but still a fair number of people like me who like more of a pre-mounted style. In my case, it’s a byproduct of shooting a gun for a few years that didn’t fit me. I’m now trying to move towards low gun, as it has numerous advantages.
You are absolutely correct! We have a label pointing that at at one point (4:17), but it drives me crazy every time I watch, haha. The other big thing we were missing here was an elevated platform. Generally those first targets will come from beneath your feet. We only had the single #1 trap available for our first day of filming (you’ll see same problem in Episode 2). We’ll hopefully have that extra trap next time around.
That’s an interesting point that you bring up. Jereme “JP” is shooting a Krieghoff K-80 Pro Sporter which is intended for sporting clays and skeet. There are a few pros out there using it, most notably Gebben Miles. He did a recent podcast where he talks about the high rib, and can cover the topic better than I can. Blaser makes a similar model called the F3 Supersport. Big disadvantage is that they shoot a higher pattern (like 60/40 or even 70/30). Means that you have to “float the bird” in many cases, as I understand it. Last I heard, Jereme is switching to Parcours barrels with flat rib for that very reason. The other two guys using taller ribs (Scott and Jeremy) are shooting Blaser F3 Vantage guns. These are “mid-rib” guns which still shoot a flat 50/50 pattern but give you a bit of added visibility. A little bit easier to hit targets coming from beneath your barrels, but no problems with crossers or dropping targets like you might encounter with a true high rib gun. Caesar Guerini makes a similar shotgun called the Summit Ascent. Overall, both are functionally the same as a flat rib gun, just with a rib that is 3mm higher than a true flat rib. Just comes down to personal preference.

A refreshing new take on clay shooting👍 I started as well this year. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks! Hope to see you around!
Good to see the clays being broken, not just someone shooting a shotgun, good video, keep it up.
Glad you liked it! Those Orange Crusher targets from White Flyer are a ton of fun and make it so much easier to see the hits. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Glad Johnny pointed you our way! Their channel is excellent and we hope you’ll enjoy ours too
I am looking forward to watching your videos. This channel is a great idea.
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying it.
Great channel intro, and sciency backgrounds for all. Looking forward to watching you regularly!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!
Looks like a promising channel. I look forward to your content. I would love to see an all star shotgun tricks competition. 👌🏻
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Your all-start competition sounds really interesting! Will have to give that some thought
Looks fun. You guys should come across the pond and introduce it to the UK.
Thanks! Would love to shoot over there sometime!

And if you can't find any Miroku's locally, a Browning 525 is pretty much the same gun.
@@nigelmchugh5541Miroku manufactures Browning O/Us for the US market.
So your first face off was a Blaser F3 against another Blaser F3? Oh, the drama!
Haha, yeah! Jeremy has the nicer receiver, though, which is probably why he beat me
Make -a- break should have 2 separate #1 machines in which the shooter doesn’t know which machine the target will be thrown from.

So all of you went from D class to A or AA in a year?
Yep! We shot A LOT last year 😂
Wait. S O/U with a Trap High Rib. Used for sporting clays. Thats not right.

Great video put your gun on the 🐇 it's the slowest moving target on the course.
Thanks!
