    When I started shot gunning, I did mounting drill with my eyes closed in front of a mirror. Open the eye and viola! The eye should be right behind the bead(s). Footwork: Point your buckle at where you want to break the bird/ hit your target. Swinging: Grandpa told me to think about hosing down the dogs; get your string out in front, never look at he hose (bead)- watch the wet dog....you gotta get the hose (barrel) way out in front

    If you are cross eye dominant ( right handed and left eye dominant ) you can not keep your both eyes open. Or you can but almost everytime you miss the target. I use this technique= Keep your both eyes open track the target and mount the gun. Just before you are about the shoot close your left eye. This is pretty good technique. Of course if you have time and will you can always practice shoot your left side and then you can keep both eyes open.

      Well, I'm cross-eye dominant as well as functionally blind(can see but not clearly at range) in my right eye. This eye injury happened as a kid and I force learned to shoot left-handed. I still close my right eye shooting left-handed. Sometimes works sometimes not. I can shoot ambidextrously on either but not very consistently. I feel more comfortable shooting right-handed and sometimes with both eyes open. I'm all messed up. Haha. I don't shoot enough to make a consistent solution to my problem viable. Time to shoot more I think.

      @matti7045 Год назад +1

      @@ocavant i was right hand and right eye dominant but my right eye optical nerve inflamed and because of that i'm now cross eye dominant. I think best solution for you is shoot left both eyes open. Make sure your shotgun stock is made for left handed shooter. Other option is shoot straight stock but that won't be good as left hand stock for my opinion.

      @@matti7045 Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. Right there with ya on the eye issue, mine was "Coats disease" a retina issue that was thankfully monocular. All my guns are family hand-me-downs (Browning A5s, 2000 etc.) and I have no idea what type of stocks they have. Now is the time to sort it before next fall I guess. Thanks again.

    Excellent! 3 tips: 1) Keep BOTH eyes open, 2) Mount to the cheek, not to the shoulder, 3) Follow through.
    Same 3 tips work for precision rifle shooting. Keep both eyes open so you can see the scope level and scope reticle, use a consistent cheek weld for consistent shots, trigger follow through.
    Same 3 tips work for archery. Keep both eyes open, consistent anchor point, follow through.

    I do a lot of cold weather duck hunting. So I'm wearing bulky clothing. I have trained myself to raise the gun away from my body and then lock it into my shoulder. I found raising the gun straight up from the hip it gets caught in my clothing. These were excellent tips and a great video.

    So, if you shoot right handed but are left eye dominate, still shoot with both eyes open?

    • @matti7045
      @matti7045 Год назад +2

      Option 1. You can shoot left handed and keep your both eyes open... I know really hard to do. Option 2. Track your target both eyes open and mount the gun. Just before you are about to shoot close your left eye ( i use this technique and it is pretty good ). Answer to your question= i say no. If you are cross eye dominant you can not shoot both eye open becouse you miss your target allmost every time.

    • @Theshotgunreport
      @Theshotgunreport Год назад +1

      Depending on how comfortable you already are with the gun on the right side of the body I would try to shoot on my left. Another option is to occlude the non shooting eye meaning your (left) use a small piece of scotch tape to slightly block the left eye chap stick can work also. Try to position the occlusion out of your view you should only see the occlusion when you are in the gun. Hope that helps

    • @jcbabb2
      @jcbabb2 Год назад

      IMO it’s easier to learn to shoot left handed than it is to learn to shoot with cross dominance.

  • @arnarmar75
    @arnarmar75 3 года назад +5

    Good tips. Seems you need more practice with step 1 though, when you pointed the gun to the camera you closed one eye every time 😁

  • @tovo1949
    @tovo1949 3 года назад +2

    You never want to mount the gun and then "track" the target. The tip of the barrel should be tracking the target as you mount the gun firing as the barrel passes thru the target and the stock touches shoulder

    • @Thegeneralms1
      @Thegeneralms1 Год назад +5

      You should not be looking at the barrel at any point. If you are muzzle aware you will miss because you are not focused on the target

    @jpstanton3223 3 года назад +4

    and you said it but... shooting a lot (and doing it wrong) will not make you a better shot. The gun might not fit, your technique might be off but I used to think shooting more would fix it and it is exactly like a golf swing.. you are just swinging it wrong more often! I like liked a friends advice that said - if you hunt birds, do not start your clay shot with the gun mounted to your shoulder, you never walk through the field with your gun mounted so it is really not helping your hunting hit rate. I got much better by starting at the waist.
