Lifting the head

[balltrap]

Do not worry, "There's none so blind as those who just can not see"!  (and I for one can vouch for that  ?)

Knipan,

 Interesting comment in your last post,  " I belive that it happens more often on the second clay in a pair. Could the fact that I'm not consistant in my pick up point be a factor?"

Many people do not realise that you must remount your gun for the second shot , believe it or not but the effect of the recoiling first shot moves the head considerably, so we have to consciously have to resettle the head/cheek to obtain the correct sight picture for a subsequent shot. Also head lifting (peeking) to look for the target acquisition point can lead to bad habits forming of never actually having a correct gunmount.

Awareness of your faults and corrective training will cure your issues, if you cannot afford a lesson with a GOOD COACH, perhaps you could get a friend to film you whilst shooting, concentrating the film footage on your gunmount and face/stock relationship through the shooting process.

If you live in the Midlands I would be happy to give you some time.

Really??

Don't take this the wrong way  If superfasts are giving you a flinch and your not of very slight build of on the frail side I'd be looking at gun fit or gunmount issues.

Superfasts aren't  36g Fitasc loads and prople shot loads of them with little issues when they could.. Painful on the wallet though. 

Along with Salopian's comment above I think Paul's gunfit/mount suggestion has a lot of merit.  Sounds like maybe excessive downpitch could be involved as well.

What's the point if he has forgotten most of it :angel:

Many good points to keep in mind. Many thanks!

Appriciate evertbodys time in helping me going forward.

I wish I could take you up on that offer, but as I'm located i Sweden, it's a bit of a travel 

What bugs me, is the chanses I have to do some focused training around where I live. Some shooting grunds, but not usable in a way where you can shoot your own pace and the specific targest you need.

I will conclude all tips, and make a plan out of these.

Also booking a coach, to help me on the right way.
