clay shooting online vid

[ips]

There is a theory that if you focus solely on the clay, your brain will automatically calculate the correct lead. The problem is we think we know better, and try to make sure and miss. Sometimes l have no idea how l kill some birds, it's normally when l let "The force be with me!" As you say l can't do it very often wish l could.

that is exactly how I shoot trap. Maybe I am over analyzing esp and game !!!

I know for a fact that when I shoot over my dog I try to hard because I am anxious to give her a retrieve

if I shoot skeet by trying to measure lead I miss.  If I don't think and use the DTL portion of my very small brain I hit them.

I have a small dtl brain which works quite well ... If I let it out of the box.

this poses an interesting point, do we shoot better instinctively or with a more contrived technique ?

If you shoot DTL its better you have your brain removed, scores will improve  :angel:

I really don't think so not for the shooter at least he is trying to kill or break the target. The eye is focusing in the dove/clay not the back ground it would still work in a tree filled scene... that is what separates the greats from also ran's, the greats see only the target nothing else of consequence ... I would say anyway. Think about it you are trying to shoot a target you see the target not all the other junk in the background... if you are actually seeing all the background there is no way you can break the clay/kill the bird with any consistency . An outsider looking at the scene would possible see but the shooter should actually only see the bird all the background would be peripheral .

I don't see how your eye's can't take the information of the background in even if it's your peripheral vision. Isn't this how course setters try to fool is in to thinking the clay is doing on thing when it's actually doing something else?

 I remain in a constant struggle to settle on a method,

It's (Ips) a tool box mate...you have to choose the right one for the job.

"The Method", Pull Away, will see you right on most occasions.  So long as you get your hold and look points right, set up for your kill point...it's all good.  It helps you establish the correct line, matches gun with target speed etc.

The targets it doesn't work so well for, will soon become apparent, but if you establish a good grounding, with the majority of targets, you can worry about the others later.

I seem to recall we went through this with the EELL  just after you got it. If you have gone back to head dropping again, then you will no doubt require a gun with a stock of Trap gun proportions. If this "the stock is too low" theory has been arrived at without shooting the gun, you may just end up altering it back.

I am now at £1-50 ?

Westley I have shot it and it feels flat as a witches ?
