When you shoot a clay what do you see? What do you focus on? Have we addressed that yet?

Salopian,
I guess that with these two last questions you posed we can go on for other 85+85=170 pages! :lol: :lol:

my understanding is that your eye breaks the target not the gun.

+1, I always use my eyes to break the clays since I have destructive laser beams that shoot out from them kinda like cyclops from
X-men! Lol jk your correct, look at the bird and your barrel follows it

As much of this post has been blah blah blah I have been trying to use my eyes more as David suggested as I cannot yet do it on all types of targets I am happy to find I can on some presentations with better results.
What helped me the most was watching gebbins short video when the eye cam shows his eyes from the barrel as he watches the bird into the gun and pulls the trigger. I also shoot loose on the gun as i have not taped myself i would bet i am in the way earlier with the same breakpoint.
I needed the most help on slow developing birds because i was on the gun to long so now its eyes eyes eyes bang.
Thats for me and terrys other post on hanging incomers you might give this a whirl.
Just to add on my longer shots i stiil balance more and see some gap but trying to do it with more focus on the bird.
Just my 2 cents

Well Terry this post got me thinking about my own shooting without all the details it made me look for answers that i didnt find on this post mostly because everyone wants to be right instead of absorb information and use what worked for our own personal form.

That being said it helped me because i thought is there a lesson for me in this I just took the next step and researched it more, I wish we could do this more on here but it will never happen because of the bashing and bull.

One thing i have found funny is if shooter x says something he gets beat on then comes a pro or the so called he knows alot shotgunworld guy and they say almost the same thing as shooter x, and everyone says oh ya he is right.

Hey it is the internet and i will give you the yes it has helped, wont promise the scores will go up but it has addressed a hole in my game.

So glad to hear that!

The best part about this post is the fact that it got a lot of people thinking more about how they see the target!

I feel it has made me look at the targets in a different way and it is making me shoot better. I think! LOL

The thread turned into trench warfare - and we all know where that gets you. {F*

It's been a very informative and entertaining thread, but given its lenght (and memory lapses) many posts are looping and repeating concepts already discussed and processed.
Anyway, I think that every open minded person may take some good food for thoughts from it. If each of us remains in its own position without examining and evaluating the others points he goes nowhere: the times of trench warfare are surpassed from WWI. 8)

Can we go back to this post so we don't have to ask about chokes, gun oil, shells, which O/U is best at $300, and how do I clean a gun?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Terry-

Did you not see the "Italian Lead Shot" thread? Very informative.
