Duffryn Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 After some impressive shooting last week it all went down hill again this week. I seemed to be getting the long hard shots and missing the easier ones. Anyway still a great day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 An excellent video, as usual. I think you are hard on yourself regarding marksmanship, you shoot better than you think. A tip I was given many years ago, when shooting driven birds and standing well back from the cover (therefore being able to see the coming birds for a while), don't mount the gun too early. Treat it almost as a snap shot. Pick the bird, decide where you are going to shoot it, then mount and fire in almost one movement. It works for me.

Kes Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 D, Very enjoyable. I agree from looking carefully you are above the bird occasionally but on the early ones you were in front, not behind. Check your swing through on the high duck you shot for comparison. May I respectfully suggest you 'go through the motions' including checking the mounting of your gun (spot on the wall) to build a 'muscle memory' before your next day out. You are only a smidge out when you miss and thats not often. Where are we next week? Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to do better on the snap shooting so I will give that a go next week Great video What head cam do you use?

truckboy1 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Afternoon D, Another cracking video, keep them coming, Just out of interest what shells are you using for the Duck? i shoot a lot of steel and wondered what you used and what loads you use? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Great video as usual. Many thanks for taking the time to upload these. One man I shoot with (an experienced game shooter in his 60s) hates to see the birds coming at him from a long way off. He stares at his feet and then looks up, swings and shoots in one movement - an imitation snap shot! But please dont try it - your brilliant videos would be nowhere as good!
