You are not alone...lol

Hey here is a good video on how to judge lead by a world camp kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erulia-qrdfMc2w.html

How I emphasise....I am ok with full bore [ex Army] but with clays I have more chance throwing rocks.

@@brendanukveteran2360 we are taught to aim, apparently it took me close to 30 years to realize that’s not the case 😅

Thank you ogstopper for watching it and commenting. If there are any target types you'd like to see or if you have any video requests, please let us know and we'll shoot/film them. Thanks again for commenting.

@@Shotkam What would be very helpful would be a ShotKam view of a round of English Skeet. It's a great product - I'm saving a bit of my pension each month to buy one! Don't tell the Mrs!

Thank you Steve, really appreciate the kind words and comment. - Emily

That's amazing to get 71/100 for a first time! Keep it up as you must be a natural to get a score like that 👌

Thanks so much for your feedback Terry :)

Best comment of the month!

Thank you for this feedback Theren; it is so great to hear. Do you have a ShotKam yourself? Or do you mean simply watching the videos helped me? Either way, thank you for watching and sharing this review. - Emily

Theren Aldrich, unlike other firearms disciplines, shotgunning requires 100% hard focus on the target. If for a millisecond you attempt to aim, visually measure lead, look at the shotgun bead, or otherwise take away visual focus from the target, you likely will miss. Begin shooting this way and your skills will improve as you learn to see the target but feel the lead. Trust your natural hand-eye coordination, your eyes will guide your hands. There's much more technique involved that can be quickly learned by seeking out a qualified instructor.

It’s I think my third or fourth week and I’m hitting about 62% for last week out of a hundred shots so definitely improved, I’m just 11 and love hunting, had been probably two months since I’ve shot so was a little rusty at first

Especially on those arching and dropping clays. It's no wonder I always miss those shots. Can't wait to shoot those now.

I lined up the barrel exactly where the clay pigeon was, not in front of it

@@landonbagg5361 yea I come from air rifles so never had to shoot infront of a target before … takes some getting use to lol

Very “good” shooting - forgot the good!

@@jimsutton8244 Thank you Jim, really appreciate the comment. Those videos were a mix of shots from David Radulovich (World Champion) and David Stewart (Masterclass & ShotKam Owner), so I'll pass on your high praise. Thanks again for your comment.

Hi Fred, thank you for your comment. The ShotKam has an internal rechargeable battery that will need replaced every 2-4 years. The battery replacement is typically done at our facility in Florida ($40), but if you live internationally and prefer to do it yourself, then you can simply purchase a battery replacement kit ($59) which comes with all the necessary tools. You should get many many years of learning with the ShotKam. Should you have any questions, please feel free to visit us at shotkam.com or schedule a phone consultation with one of our ShotKam experts: calendly.com/shotkam-consultation/1 Thanks again and we hope to hear from you. - Emily

1.5X is closer to actual speed

@@backatya9468 I looked up a bit more and the shotkam actually slows to 1/3 speed. That's because when you watch the video, it feels the same as doing it in real life.

Great question! On the day, the shooter used modified chokes for both barrels. If shooting sporting clays, here's generally what we recommend: New shooter: Improved cylinder If you shoot in the 70's: Light modified If you shoot in the 80's: Modified I hope this helps!

Hi Tom, I always love your comments. Here's some fun facts about this video: 1. The first and last pair are shot by David Radulovich (World Champion) 2. The rest of the videos are by David Stewart (ShotKam owner...and my lovely Scottish father 💪) 3. At 1:39 in this video, the Chandelle was 45 yards away and took *12* feet of lead. 4. At 2:10 there was an edge-on battue. 5. Thanks as always for watching.

And what chokes and ammo was being used? I'm guessing No. 8 shot at 1200fps?

months

Months would prob take like 6 depending on how often you shoot

The ShotKam slows all videos down into 1/3 speed because that is how your brain perceives a moving target. In other words, this is exactly what the targets looked like while shooting them. You will notice faster targets do get more lead and slower targets less, because every video is in 1/3 speed. If you film a shot with your iPhone for example, then the target will look very fast and small. The ShotKam Camera's field-of-view and playback speed are engineered to replicate the sharp focus of your retina (what the target actually looked like). I hope this helps, thanks for your comment.

Distance to the target, trajectory of the target, fps of your ammo. The lead will vary

Hi Fotis, thanks for your comment. These shots were filmed with the ShotKam mounted to a 12-Gauge over-and-under, was that your question please? Thanks again for watching. - Emily

@@Shotkam He means how much did the birdshot weigh in grams?

Depends on the range but either voice activated or someone presses a button. Did you go?

Some push button machines can be set with a 3 second delay for diy

What state do you live in? If you're in California I can give you the names of a few places that have delays that can be set.

@@joshmcbride9485 no I live in Texas in San antonio

It’s not about it being good, it’s showing the concept of how you shoot, when, and where.

Hi Colin, thank you for your comment. The ShotKam's default playback speed is 1/3 speed, as this is how your brain actually perceives a moving target. There is a "Playback Speed" option for "Full Speed" though, if needed :).

@@Shotkam I'm a clay shooting beginner - for my brain the clays are at least twice as fast than they get thrown...

@@ralfbuschner6925 Hi Ralf, thanks for your comment. Are you saying that when you shoot, the clays look 2x faster than in this video? If that is the case, then that is fairly normal for newer shooters. A good tip is to practice your "Look Points" meaning where you hold your eyes as you call for the clay. We typically recommend not looking at the trap thrower as you call for the bird because the clay will come out extremely quickly and make your brain think that it needs to give a lot of lead, but it reality it slows down quickly. If you establish your "Break Point" (where you want to break the clay), then your "Hold Point" (where you hold your gun), then your "Look Point" should be about half way between the trap thrower and the Hold Point. You'll pick up motion of the clay in your peripheral vision, then once the clay crosses your Look Point you can focus on it and move with it to the break point. I think these two videos may be helpful for you: 1. How to Shoot Skeet: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mM9im5eL1bPNmGw.html . This video uses effects to illustrate what I mentioned above. 2. The 4 Shooting Techniques: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNWjgNh719XLoqM.html - This video may help as you begin to learn all the different techniques that shooters use. I hope this helps, thanks again for watching. - Emily

@@Shotkam Nay, what I mean is: clays on the range are looking twice as fast than they really are. After the first couple hundred shots they start to slow down, i hope. ;-)

@@ralfbuschner6925 because you are starting to focus better by that point.

@@joecostner1246 Even after spending big bucks to bend my stock to left shoulder I still sucked at Sporting clays ....LOL

So what??? Why not add something constructive??

Tom Lagatol to be the first is constructive....

No it’s not...It’s childish, immature and no more.

Damnit, now you went and triggered poor Tom...

Back under the bridge troll.......
