Gil Ash of OSP Shooting Schools demonstrates why shotgun shooters shouldn't look down the barrel, nor at the bead. By focusing on the target you might see fewer targets but you'll surely break more. (NSSF Video)

"Keep your eye on the target, mount the gun where the target is going, and never look down the gun." -- Great advice from the pro.

I have been doing research and will continue to do so , already finding other Christians who experience the same tall tales , sadly to learn that - one can be a Christian their whole life and never hear one thing from THE HOLY TRINITY .... on FB a sick pervert ( with an affinity for boys , I suspect ) challenged me to prove what I say is true .... he was fighting madder than a Wet Hen .... sin comes from Satan and old man Lucifer seems to have that guy already bound with chains .... I can prove it to some on FB .... they know that very few people will read this comment on this site and I would not normally take the time to say this much , unless I had more viewers , but this is where I was when GOD wanted me to reach out to someone in particular .... nah , I would not normally have written about a 4 letter word .... lol ! .... it is Great to be a Messenger for the Holy Spirit ....

I’m a cancer survivor that was unable to shoot shotguns for two due to where they implanted my port-a-cath. I got back into duck hunting this season and my shooting was horrendous. Compared to how I shot pre cancer it killed my confidence. After watching this video I realize I was doing what you say not to do. Thank you for making this video and I will try to watch everyone I can find on KZfaq.

I agree with this. This summer was my first year ever doing trap and joined a league right away. I struggled at first trying to find a comfortable position and refining my technique. This shooter's tip on not looking down the barrel is 100% correct...especially when you're shooting from stations 1 and 5. Still something I'm working through myself...

@cgreeneblue 8 жыл бұрын

Hitting targets moving toward or away from you creates more reliance on convergence and divergence of both eyes. It's a scenario like hitting a baseball coming toward you. That requires strong binocular coordination. 'Crossers' from left to right and vise versa on the other hand are more dependent on the 'smooth pursuit' function of the eyes; this can be done with just one eye, which is why a lot of people do just fine shotgunning with closing an eye and actually using the bead as a reference point. I think the issue of closing an eye, dimming an eye, tape on the glasses etc is very interesting as many people have different levels of success. I would really like an optometry professional to weigh in on this as I strongly think that the differences are caused by more factors than eye dominance. I concede that if you have the hours in (10, 000 + I'm sure) that Gil Ash does and your mounts are consistent and nearly perfect you can remove the bead from the shotgun. You have to put in the hours to be able to shoot essentially by the "feel" of your mounting position like he's describing. I'll contend that I think he is still aiming the gun. He is aiming by the 'Feel' of the mount. He is still referencing something on his body from his intended target except it is not the bead or even the barrel. He doesn't need to. I find it extremely impressive but unlikely to work for a lot of beginners. If you're a crossed eye / hand dominance beginner I think you'll have a rough time with these techniques. If you're a fairly -experienced right eyed, right handed shooter I suspect it is likely going to advance your shooting and feel like a more natural progression.

I took OSP shooting class a number of years ago and my shooting improved dramatically. Both Gil and Ms. Vicki are excellent coaches. Their focus on the basics--consistently mounting the shotgun 100's of times over the course of two days--will ensure shooting consistency over the long term. Likely will take their same class again just to brush up on the basics.

Good advice. I've always gone with "You don't aim a shotgun, you point a shotgun". For me it's been especially tough as I'm right handed but left eye dominant. Rifles, no problem. Taught myself before i even knew what eye dominance is. Pistols, I use my left eye. Shotguns have been the hardest. But I always do pretty well.

@johnwilson6707 2 жыл бұрын

point and aim is that not the same thats my point

@tyb525 2 жыл бұрын

They say "point don't aim" but I guarantee they can't shoot from the hip if they've never practiced. They need the barrel in their vision. They're still aiming, they're just using a different method that requires hundreds of hours of practice to form muscle memory. Idk about you, but I can look down the barrel like a rifle and still see the moving target and lead it. There's no way a guaranteed straight line down the barrel is less accurate than the imperfect human eyes and brain.

Well, this hardly applies to anyone these days but, it's helpful to understand where your "overlap zone" is when you shoot a Side-by-side, still a bad idea to overconcentrate on the bead though. My 486 has an English straight stock, which for me has improved the fundamentals of my shooting incredibly. Without the ergonomics and "laziness" you can treat pistol-grips with; you will either develop your form and shoot better, or miss a lot and blame the gun for your deficiencies. Only been shooting for a year now, and started out on sporting clays in a "trial by fire" approach to the hobby; which only sunk in when shooting fixed launcher trap halfway through summer. I'm blessed for the things that Beretta has taught me, and glad I followed my heart getting it, because it certainly wasn't cheap, and it's fun to go from total rookie to only man shooting doubles on the local course(amongst my friends who got me into clays) in one year without shooting every weekend/week.

Well Gil, I have to say your system works. I'm a brand new shooter and I put 1000 rounds through my shotgun at the trap range aiming it like a rifle, one eye and looking down the barrel. Well I got to a point where my scores were static. I was frustrated and I watched this video for maybe the 4th time and next time I went out to the trap range and it took concentration I now keep both eyes open and as you said your gun will follow your eyes. When I do exactly what you tell me to do I not only hit the clay but I powder it. But when I fall back to over thinking the shot I'll miss every time. If I just trust my eye hand work your method works every time. Now I have to say it's not easy but a few thousand clays and this should be second nature. Thank you for all your great video's. I so would like to be able to break 20 out of 25 kind of consistently. So I'm practicing and having a good time doing it. Thank you!

You have to shoot a lead for a moving target. If you look straight down the barrel, you miss behind the target. you can not look down the barrel and focus on the target at the same time. You look down the barrel to aim your rifle/pistol BUT you point your shot gun. Mr Ash is right on.He is truely a pro at what he does. Anything with a shot gun.

I'm in a youth trap shooting team and I hit pretty constant mid to high 20s and my coaches were very impressed because my gun is a Remington 870 wing master and after a practice I hit 48 out of 50 and he asked if it was an improved choke. I have only been in the team for one year and when I started I was hitting 15 to 17 at most. but at one practice something just clicked and it was the best feeling I had ever gotten for a while. and I continued holding the 20s range for a long time. this was 4 months back though. but about a week ago I went to practice and hit a 18 and 19 for about 3 or 4 practices and I was getting annoyed because I have a broken collarbone and it was hitting on one of the practices and the coach kept telling me to do this do that and he was messing me up even more because he was always dogging me and correcting me even when I was hitting them. but I hit my edge back I was at practice and the first round I hit an eighteen and I just clicked and the second I hit a twenty-four.

@Quentin217 Жыл бұрын

I am sure that Gil Ash's technique must work very well for him, but I can hardly imagine myself even trying to train in it. Just imagining him doing it is difficult for me. I am an old man, perhaps even older than he is, and I do what works for me just as I read of how to do it back in 1971. I line up the rib with the bead, point it at the near side of the trap house and close my left eye. When the target comes up, I follow it with the bead and pull the trigger as the bead passes the target. On rising straight-aways, I move it fast and squeeze as just as the bead fully catches up. The follow-through accounts for the required lead. On sharp angles, I give the target a foot and a half of lead before squeezing. On those, the gun seems to be swinging slightly slower as the target seems farther away when I squeeze. On slighter angles, I give less lead. The speed of the swing seems to be the more difficult thing to decide upon and execute. If I bollix a straight-away on my swing and cancel the squeeze to re-do the swing, the target is already falling when I actually fire on the second swing. In that case, i will pull up on my second attempt and stop about a foot and a half below the target and fire. For me that actually works sometimes, but it is needed seldom. With the birds that have feathers, I tend to do likewise but allow for them usually being a bit slower.

Pretty sure when I was shooting a lot of trap though, when I mounted my gun and hollered pull, I was looking at the trap house, not the bead on the gun.

I'm sure this works for some people. For me you should be seeing a very slight top of the rib, so you can see your mid bead just under your main bead making a figure of eight. You need to know exactly where your muzzle point is by looking down to the bead. Cant see how this can be more accurate?

I still don't understand. I have always aimed where i want my shot to go with shotgun. (trap, skeet and sporting clays) I am not a pro but shoot better than most especially when shooting skeet and clays. I aim at my judged lead position depending on target speed and angle both eyes open. I always use the bead to aim where my shot will be going. It may not be right but has always worked for me.

You still use the bead, and have it lined up with your shooting eye. The difference is where your eyes focus. It's a limitation of our binocular vision.

Maybe would have been a good idea to also show WHAT to do - not just what NOT to do? I 'discovered' the Kentucky Carry method last year and have been practicing it. It's much easier to handle a 3" mag with 00 buck for home tactical, and in tight quarters it makes perfect sense.

Thanks for this vital tip I am new to the sport and look forward to releasing many clay targets back into the wild whilst wrapping my head around this and start using two eyes.
