berties Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Have taken a look at my bad habits and corrected my stance and gun hold,so i can get my shooting to move up the ladder but with doing this have hit a wall ,right to left crossers left to right no problem hit most of the time to which some say are harder,but am getting frustrated with right to left,i can hit them with my old bad habits but that is no use if i want to get onwards and upwards with a bad day on low house skeet and r-l crossers i dont want to get into the mental senario of here it comes i am going to miss it,i need some advice if any one has any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeainscow Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'm by no means experienced but find it infuriating if i can't hit a certain type. I check the basics first. Left foot pointing where i want to break the clay. Barrel at the clay path height and halfway between where you first see the clay and where you want to break it. Smooth motion and don't under any circumstances stop the gun moving. The best place to practice these is on a skeet range. Start at the left most post. And gradually work to the centre post. That seems to work for me. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berties Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 try shooting them from left to right with less lead left to right is suposed to be harder but hit them every time,as shooting across the body as i am right handed just right to left ,in coming no problem trap no problems ground shots no probs just r-l shooting properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magman Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I would guess that your shooting over the top of them Very difficult to tell over a keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berties Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I would guess that your shooting over the top of them Very difficult to tell over a keyboard yes i would say they are high as i have always had lead sorted out,any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 yes i would say they are high as i have always had lead sorted out,any suggestions Think you have answered your own question , if you have an idea where your going wrong don't keep shooting in the same place correct it . Stop and think if you have to, even on the stand and don't call for the bird until your ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I reckon your either lifting your head as the clay disappears out of view behind your barrels resulting in shooting over or your left eye is taking over (for the same reason clay disappears) resulting in shooting in front try the swing through method and squeeze as you blank (as you would an oncoming bird over head) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 If you are shooting off your right shoulder and you have a dominent right eye you will need to reduce your lead on right to left targets. The gap between your eyes is a tad magnified at 30 foot. Thats in the simplest terms possible without looking over your shoulder. Five minutes with a good coach should put you right. from Auntie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I see your from Salisbury, that's my part of the country. If you can get up to Mere (Wood Farm) just off the A303 on a Wednesday/Friday/Sunday I`ll have a look at the problem for you. Any other days I`m at other clubs, too far away for you. Give me a P.M if your interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
