HDAV Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 It works as long as you call Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll for the target! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenelmh Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Ha, that was helpful! Sounds like normal shooting, starting with gun down, call the bird, see the bird, follow it via swinging yourself and gun as one, mount and shoot it. And don't forget to swing through. Anyone else?

Gordon R Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Pioneered by John Bidwell. There are a number of techniques for shooting:- Maintained lead - you are never behind the target - in theory. Swing through - catching up to the target and pulling ahead. Pulling away - follow the target and then pull in front of it. Bidwell developed his own system quite successfully. There are a number of DVDs which he issued, which explain it far better than me.

EdSolomons Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 A version of maintained lead. Good on a few presentations but not a good base technique. Best off learning the various applications of maintained, pull away and swing through before worrying too much about mms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salopian Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Being serious now, MMS is promoted by John Bidwell in the UK and John Woolley in the USA. Simply explained it is, have a look at a target, decide where you can see it clearly and where you believe that you can comfortably break it. Then from a gun down position you will call for the target whilst focussing between the visual pickup point and the kill point, as the target flies you will see it, move the gun up to the lead edge of the clay and shoot as the gun comes to your shoulder and face which places an emphasis on good gun mounting technique. It is not really a useful technique for very distant crossers, because you will have difficulty reading the correct amount of lead to apply. Because MMS is an instinctive method of shooting.

southrop Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Take a look at http://www.ospschool.com/ Great method in my opinion, basically hard focus on front edge of clay and mount into the lead window. Gun hold about 70% along flight path. Basically only 3 leads zone 1 right at front of clay to 2.5 feet out. Zone 2 3 feet to 8 feet and zone 3 more than 8 feet. Similar to mms but not same as you hold much further out so minimising gun movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
