How to lead a target when shotgun shooting

I dont really follow through too much doesnt do anything after youve already fired

Who stole the bottom of his glasses?

You guys are so lucky...

My sustained lead method is to just keep the barrel ahead of the target while mounting and as soon as the gun touches the shoulder and the cheek touches the stock(same time), shoot. and don't look at the barrel or sight but focus only on the leading edge of the target and let your peripheral vision handle the rest. I never calculate how many feet lead I need at any speed or angle. But that works for me.

Im 12 year old and i got my first duck yesterday.

I hate the word and concept of lead. If you have a gun that fits you, you cheek the gun, stay in the gun, you shoot where you look with with both eyes open and you hit what you look at with both eyes open. I also teach people that unless they have a serious eye problem, there is no such thing as eye dominance either, just use your God-given binocular vision.

I need help.. One week I hit 10 clays.. 6 another.. but this week 3.. I alternate my lead.. but nothing works.. I don't know what I'm doing wrong..

Like taking a photo of a person on a bike. Follow through ;)

Very short and clear video, thank you very much!
PS its cool when u showed from the shooter eye

So, since this was filmed in upside down world, do I do the opposite?

It takes me about three beers to get the right amount of lead.

Great vid!

Paul's shotgun is absolutely beautiful. Nice video.

Can’t wait for this Stupid Vic lockdown to be over 😡😡😡🤬🤬

Step one: get a English accent = automatic target hits

I am introducing my 6 grandsons to skeet. We're American so I tell them the follow-thru is like swinging a baseball bat, you don't stop the swing when batting. This is a great video!
For anyone who can please take the young ones out to the field and/or the range to keep our traditions alive.

But your not saying how much lead.

Well. I identified my problem immediately watching this video. It wasn't the lead. It was the drop ! I have been aiming high and in front, essentially shooting too high anticipating gravity to have more impact on the shot. Not so !

I am glad I had a look at this.

So a pull away is basically a flick shot.

Why do you need to follow through?

I've been practicing with my dog...he isn't very keen on this...

Absolutely the best presentation!

So that's why I can't hit the broad side of a barn with a shotgun. I never practiced. lol

Great stuff boys. I'll be thinking of this on the range tomorrow. Nice one!

Stupid question: should you look along the rib (just one bead seen) or should you tilt the gun so that beads are (about) on to of each other?

Zero trigger discipline

This was an awesome video!! Thank you so much for making this

They did not read Robert Churchill's classic work, you never measure lead. To do so means you are looking at the barrel. Focus on the target, feel the lead that is calculated by your computer. The brain cannot focus on two things at once, but it can focus on the target and "see" the barrel in the peripheral vision; then the lead is felt and shot is made at the right time.

Nice gun

Why is the follow through so important and what does it accomplish?

What is Paul shooting with?

Ill be lucky if i can hit at least one. Im terrible

Rod pasco was my sound teacher at film school many years ago, lovely bloke

Haha that dude looks exactly like Jimmy Car

A Texan here. Ive hunted all my life. This is a great video. I learned a lot. Cheers.

Idk why I’m watching this lol I hit 25/25 😂

Is there a reason why they use only the over under shotgun for shooting plates

Been doing everything except follow thru. Been missing too!

Damn I should be asleep rn

I can’t believe the gunshots didn’t scare away kangaroos...

Excellent video

What kind of camera was the shooter using?? Would like to buy one.

That was really helpful I shoot skeet always seem to get some but not others I think this will help a lot.thanks.

very helpful info

I just want one of those jackets.

Let's have a look at that...
Great instruction, thank you.

great video

Great instruction! Thanks!

Just put the bead on the target , and forget about leading. Lean to judge when the target is within 40 yards.
