BSMWilliams Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 I have been given an exercise from my instructor. Inside the house i mount the shotgun and aim at the corner of the wall ceiling joint and follow that around the room. At some point i pull the trigger but use the line to continue with the follow through. Its to help me produce a smoother follow through and to help with aiming lead. My question is this, when at home i cam freely use my shotgun. But as i work away from home i do not have the ability to practice in a hotel room. Can the same practise resualts be gained from a broom or prop shotgun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgsontour Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 I would say you could use a broom or prop shotgun, the exercise will be to stop you stopping and be fluid when you pull the trigger, hitting a bird is a totally different exercise and would need a bird, gun and bullets. I know several people who can hit clays for fun but are only fair shorts on live game and more people who are vice versa ( point and case; me ). There are lot's of very clever experienced people on PW and will answer any question you may have. If you have a gun then buy some 'snap caps' to practise more like real life, if you don't have a gun. . . . . I would kindly suggest your going to need to buy at least one! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK421 Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 just ask housekeeping for a broom or similar, don't be taking the Corby trouser press apart, nothing in there will help mate practice gun mount and gun movement for muscle memory is a great thing to do. keep up the good work.

Agriv8 Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Add you should try and twist at the waist not the shoulders. a further take on this is pick a point 2/3 Rds along your line and swing the gun through it and say bang when you are past it by 6 inch then repeat 12 inches. Repeat the other way you should be able to get to the point where your see the imaginary 2/3 point but the gun moves to the kill point and you are pulling the trigger. This is your lead picture and we all see it differently in our shooting brain ! you are training you eyes and brain to see clay and move gun in front and not rifle shoot ( trying to see sight and clay clearly) its brain and eye training as much as muscle memory.

WalkedUp Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I’m sure a good fitter could be sought to apply the appropriate amount of cast 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
