As a novice I have no preconceptions about this is better than that, which is quite good for me Poontang has taught me an awfull lot ( cheers fella), but I have to say that move mount shoot worked real good for me today...AS SOON as I think about lead I miss...If I spot the clay forget the barrel I dust them...Comments welcome

Hi Slug...

I had my 1st day yesterday...I borrowed a Browning Medlist...I couldn't hit a barn door :D:yes::D a couple of the lads were saying too high..too low........ anyway !!!! This guy called Dave ( my new god) took me to one side , made me fire of a shot..looked at me and said "you fire riffles don't you " :yes:

 

He passed over his Winchester to me

 

after having about 10 dry shots (used cartridge) and learning not to stop the gun when firing...I began to smoke the clays :good::good::good::good:

 

what a difference a bit of tuition makes

Move mount shoot is the only way of shooting clays that makes any sense to me. You need to be in front of the clay to hit it so why not start in front of it in the first place?

It also helps with picking the bird up and if the bird deviates at all then you naturally move with it. If you come from behind and rely on speed of swing then 9 times out of 10 you will not be able to adjust especially for something like a bouncing rabbit.

jasper3, glad it is starting to come together, seems your roughly the same age as me, and it may be fair to say our reactions are not what they used to be.. :good: , that said I am sure it's a numbers game, so I try not to miss a week at the ground, the problem I need to overcome is looking at a lead ie seeing a gap or space between end of barrel and clay, if I do that my focal point is drawn to the end of the gun..and I miss.. :yes: Poontang showed me the move mount technique where your body and gun mount are done simultaneously so you already have a maintained lead and as long as your moving at the same speed as the clay it's hard to miss, I have now gone over to a "Gun down" mount as I find I can pick up on the clay a lot better, and stops me pointing the gun, other mistakes I made were mounting when calling for the bird..then swinging, and stopping the swing through when firing I am sure these are all elementary mistakes that the seasoned shooters have had to overcome..Keep practising.. :D

 

Thanks for the heads up MC.. :D

Because if you start out in front how can you follow the line of the clay :good:

'Tis a good watch.

 

If you send it up to Chard he'll even sign it for you :lol:

 

 

No loopers :lol:

 

He tells you how you can shoot everything with maintained lead, and conveniently skips loopers (and going away birds.....) :lol:

 

And teal :blush:

 

There's a discrepancy in something he says on it too, but I've forgotten. I'll watch it again :lol:

 

(a foo times :oops: )

Just a quick note from a fellow MMS shooter (which was forced to learn it from DVD/books :good:....):

 

Check out John Wooley material. _Much_ better than Biddy's. Honestly, I think the book is better than the DVD which -- IMHO -- is not that good.
