DYSON?? Are you crazy?
Dyson, who sets targets for one of the best shoots of the year...
-
I've booked in to shoot on the Saturday at 9.00am, I reckon it will be a good but hard shoot, (as a World Championship should be..?? :blink: ).
One thing I can't get my mind around is the squadding.
Everyone's shooting in squads of 6, under the dreadful (and now discredited) CPSA method of "double squadding", i.e. 12 shooters do a shotgun start at every stand.
We're shooting the 100 bird layout over 15 stands, which takes quite a time, yet the next squads are due to start at 11.00, I just can't see how that will happen, there's no way we're gonna get around in anything like 2 hours..??
Cat.
As far as i know its single squadded, you will have probably seen 30 squads going out over 1 period of time, but this will be over the two courses as far as im aware, therefore 15 squads per 100 bird layout.

Also the distance measured is along the floor, not to the actual target, the higher the target the further away it is. (This is if the target is going dead vertical of course).

Lakenheath? Olympic training ground? Dont make me laugh...

gotta love some of the **** advice that flys around on here... (no pun intended)

find a decent coach, they'll have you sorted in < 5 mins

Don't rush anything, just a few shots now and again so he can get used to it, wouldn't want him being put off either by missing (as a 410 is hard enough for the best of shots) or due to recoil due to his age.

Looks like different targets that were used on the pool shoot to me ?
Don't think Tom would be so daft to use the pool shoot in the shoot off to be fair....

No Problem (Y) Just next time you go out don't try and think of the points we have provided otherwise you will most likely do them!
Try and be as natural as possible and let the gun do all the work 
An update on your progress would be nice so best of luck this weekend or next time you are out

You may be seeing the same lead but are you shooting it in the same place? You will more instinctively shoot your 1st bird and then for your 2nd and 3rd pair try making sure of it and trying to get your lead correct. This either causing you to shoot it in a different place where the bird may be doing something different, i.e dropping.
Or you may be looking at the bead trying to get the correct lead and therefore stopping your gun. Im sure after about 10 shots with a very good coach they will be able to put you right and tell you where you are going wrong.
These would be imo the most common reasons for your problem but as Ed say without watching you shoot it is very difficult to say.

Last August, as an experiment, (sad, I know) I placed a clay on my shed roof. It's been through rain, snow, hail & blistering sunshine in the past year.
And it's still as good as the day I put it up there!
May sound daft but maybe try crushing it into the ground, or just burying it 6" deep and see wt the effects are then ? If any.
-
Same with anything else, if your pointing the gun in the right place, wont make any difference. I'm sure there's bigger factors of quality/quantity of kills than what brand of choke you use.

depends who is giving the advice

At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

As others have said using hull comp x 21G you should not feel much if any recoil as they have got to be one of the best if not the best cartridge for clays.
Also gun mount has been mentioned, could be how you are holding the gun.
By the sound of it, are you using a Browning or Miruko gun as these have a solid but plate. Is the gun yours or a club / instructors gun? Have you tried a gun like a Beretta which has a rubber but pad on them to help obsorb the recoil?
The next posability is gun fit, in that it does not fit you and causing the gun to hit your shoulder causing the bruising.
Seriously, the best cartridges for clays? If they were "that good" Hull wouldn't be pumping them out at the price they are and maybe all the top Hull sponsors would be shooting them instead of the Sovereign or Pro One....

But yet you need at least 12 referees for english sporting, and only 4 maybe 5 for FITASC, why does that mean FITASC should be more expensive?
