If you can add coming from behind to your arsenal it will help tremendously with birds losing steam, slow informers, and going away birds. You don’t have to get beat by a ton, you can just insert somewhere near the back of the bird. Ben H. has an excellent video on it. I see from another comment that maintained or collapsing is your go-to, there are targets where that excels for sure. I had the same issue when I started shooting sporting, I wanted to stay in front all the time. Find a moderate crosser and insert behind and move through to kill it for practice, or shoot some trap. Thanks for the content, I love watching your videos to see what good targets look like. One suggestion I would add is including a short block of text that shows the distance of the bird, speed out of 10 (if applicable), and size/type of target. Thanks!
Thanks. I’m working on moving to a more pull away style. The collapsing lead just doesn’t work all that well. But incomers kill me. I need to try to capture more info on the shots, because it would help when I review them to know if it was std or 70 mm, etc. The regional was my last scheduled shoot of the year, so I’ll be working hard on the switch practicing for the next couple months. I’ll probably try to pick up another registered shoot late on Oct or Nov.
I have watched all of your ShotKam videos nice work ,I noticed you shot a collapsing lead ? Most of the time I’m only asking because I’m in the early stages of learning how to shot a shotgun ,thanks for the content
My advice is whatever you do, do NOT shoot collapsing lead. I am trying to break myself of that with the help of a really good coach. I got to that point because I feel rushed when I'm behind the target. I still feel rushed behind the target. I'm about to post an example of two broken targets that I shot pull away and then one I missed because I fell back to my old methods.
Shot a 61 on the red course and a 60 on the prelim. Both of those videos are up, too. I was pretty happy with both of those scores. Had the green been a 60, I’d have had a really great week. On the green 1, 4, and 6 really hurt me. I can’t hit a rabbit to save my life anymore.
Ouch. That wasn't a good course to have a pinched nerve on. I went 61 and 54. Actually, it is pretty hard to shoot Northbrook under the best of conditions.

what station did you start your rotation on?
Started on 7.
How did you do on the red course ?
