Spara Dritto Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) For clays which are your preferred shooting Methods and why? (You can pick more than one). I always try and do sustained lead for most of my shooting although, if the clay beats my barrels on the odd occasion I'll come through the bird. Saying this, on distant crossers, "swing through" seems to work better for me with shorter barrels as it allows me to speed up the swing a little and make it more steady! What do you do?

bakerboy Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 BASC coaching list 3 styles of shooting. 1 Method 2 Smoke trail 3 Maintained lead I shoot 1 and 2, depending on the target offered. Gun up and gun down 1 eye open left handed both eyes open right handed I go to the gym twice a week to keep supple, and therefore do not get back ache picking up the clays I miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuta Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Feeling of de ja vu here.....I have learnt to use them all & apply them on different target presentations.....maintained lead on a fast target & pull away on a long slow crosser for example. The more systems you learn, the more options you give yourself. There is no one perfect method, especially for ESP where the target presentation is only limited by the course setters imagination!!

Nicky T Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I don't think that its as simple as picking a single method as (IMO) they all overlap to a certain extent.... For example a shot that is started with small maintained lead then the shooter pulls away at the very end if needs be It's all personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I use the 'Positive Shooting' method. It's a bit like Bidwells 'Move, Mount, Shoot' but you have to wear a big hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yickdaz Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 a mix of all 3 depending on what type of target is thrown. your gonna run out of polls to put on here at this rate if your not carefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beretta Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 on most of my shooting i use the away reverse lead method. its a simple technique to use on most clays you will come across and i perfected this method years ago on space invaders. when you see the clay, quickly judge its speed and trajectory. as the clay gets to the point you want to shoot it, jump behind the nearest wall and stick the gun out the side. as the clay gets to the killing point, hit the trigger and imediatly reverse back behind the wall. the speed with which you reverse back behind the wall is usually enough to get the correct amount of lead on a given target thus allowing for a clean kill. there are many other methods but this one works for me.

Gordon R Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I marvel at just how easily someone can rack up numerous postings about nothing. The flawed pole misses the glaring option of shooting straight at the clay. For instance - a clay coming straight at you or going straight away. I'm sure another thread will pop up with just as much deep meaning. can't wait. :lol: :no: :hmm: :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, it's like that is it....you've never told me about this new fangled way of shooting. Keep all the best tips for yourself is it.

Spara Dritto Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) All hail Gordon! He’s always right! How is it a post about nothing? I remember Michael doing something very similar, I seriously doubt you can shoot even 1/10 as well as he can and have about 1/10 of his knowledge! Muppet.

Gordon R Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Beretta Italy - you are clearly one slice short of a full loaf, but there is no need to get childish. Rest assured, I can shoot better than you ever will. :lol: :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spara Dritto Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) It's a discussion Gordon, are you too good to participate? It’s always all or nothing with you.

Gordon R Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Beretta Italy - We are still waiting for a response on your other thread. A cynic might think you were unable to answer. Me - I'm just waiting. :yes: :good: As you are bit of a know all, I thought you might have realised that my previous avatar was me on the front of the Shooting Weekly magazine from 1988. Put up or shut up. :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
