Anni Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hello pigeonwatchers. Having been shooting clays for a couple of years now I decided that I better put abit more effort into it and have my first lesson to see if theres something that I may be doing wrong or any bad habits that i may have got myself into Having talked it over with Yellowbear (member on here) one saturday when we were at worsley having a brew, we both decided to tap Beretta up and have a day with him at catton. Well for me it was the best money I have spent on my clay shooting so far. I probably learnt more from that lesson than 20.000 carts would have taught me After checking gunfit and pointing out a few things that I could be doing better, (eg) holding the pistol grip stock thing in a better way, we got down to buisness after having a go at a few clays beretta had me repositioning myself diffrently and analizing the clays abit more, telling me to relax and not rush into it even though the clays looked very quick. After I had tried this the clays did strangely seem to slow down If you have ever watched a top shot on the clays in a competition and wondered what and why he does this and that exactly what he or she is thinking when walking upto a stand like I have, this was my chance to pick the brains of one, and ask all those questions about why they do this, how do they do that, how are you going to attack that certain clay. I suppose it was a master class Thanks Beretta Sorry for asking all them silly little questions but it really did help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
