Mr Rizzini Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) enjoy A spread from Sporting Shooter magazine. Printed out at 100% (46cm wide), this shows how different quarry appear at various ranges, and the actual amount of lead needed to hit the target.

KevinClarke Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I wish i had seen something like this sooner,i don't think i will be able to miss a clay again now as long as i take a speed camara with me to check the speed,and practice pointing at the paper for a while.Can't wait till weekend now.

Mr Rizzini Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Advice - practise on clays. what technique would you use ? if i were to be doing something wrong then shooting clays would do nothing for me, also should I shoot the clays with 1/4 and 1/2 as thats what I'd be using in the field? also do cartrdige affect the amount of lead i.e 28g slower than a 32g?

Shooting plenty of clays enables us to build up enough 'sight pictures' to be stored in the memory bank. Seeing what lead to give a bird then becomes second nature in the field. I've always said that if someone can consistently shoot around 22/25 on the skeet range, then they should be able to shoot decoying pigeons. There shouldn't be any noticeable difference between 28gm or 32 gm cartridges, only in recoil. I prefer to use 28gm for most of my pigeon shooting.

ditchman Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 many years ago when John Bidwell was getting ready for competitions, he used to go down to Billy Bells in yarmouth he used to get billy to press the button and john would shoot 50 clays one after the other on each stand, then you will find out the lead you need and if you need to adjust your stance.........

matone Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) You have to learn to rely on your hand/eye co-ordination,any other method such as calculating lead is going to fail you with some targets ! It is just a case of experience and practicing. Edited November 25, 2012 by matone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
