Hi all,
Over the bank holiday weekend I had a go at a 60 bird sporting and had a great time. I shot well and really enjoyed it. However,I dropped a lot of targets on the duck stand and couldn't get to grips with the springing teal.
There were 3 pairs on report, first was a landing duck style target coming from above and behind and quickly dropping. I got the hang of this one and did ok. The next bird was a springing teal, the trap was about 12 yards out from the shooting cage and the targets were quickly rising and curling to the right slightly with the wind.
How do you guys approach a target like this? What's a good way to hit these consistently? I tried shooting it up the backside and on the right hand edge to account for the curl, but no joy. I tried swinging ahead and still couldn't get the hang of it. I know it's hard to say what I was doing wrong without having seen me shoot but any ideas would be great!
Cheers.
