I started skeet shoot a year and a half ago, getting a coach from day one was huge, cause they showed me what gun to buy and why I should buy one with an adjustable comb and then helped me set it up perfectly, I’m a pretty good shooter now and recently beat my coach in an nssa comp for doubles and regular skeet, we are in different classes obviously but it did feel good to win the match and I’m getting better every competition

I just recently got into clay shooting have been doing fairly decent at it aswell. Though I see allot of areas I can improve upon after watching this video. Very well spoken and easily understood thank you!

Happened on this video while searching for something else. Shot around Gebben a bit down at the Ben Avery facility in Phoenix AZ. He was already in Master Class when I first met him. He is the real deal, and is a true gentleman! Great representative for the shooting sports industry.

Great video Gebben. That helps me a lot. I have the exact same stance as your student. White knuckles, and very restricted. This is going to change my shooting style tremendously. Hopefully breaking more targets. Thank you very very much.

Well paced with great information! Calm instructions

0:43 Proper Stance 1:44 Target Acquisition 2:46 Gunspeed = target speed 3:44 Soft hold of gun 4:20 Sustained Lead Method 5:47 Swing Thru Method 9:45 What are the most difficult clays? 12:12 Correcting a bad stance

excellent video. well spoken, to the point, and good examples. thanks for posting this

Great video! Several things I need to work on.

Really good video. I enjoy watching you shoot at the completions too! You show up on a few!

Thanks for this! A friend of mine is going to be shooting clay's with us for the first time this weekend and I have been searching for a decent video she can watch before we take her out there so she can be somewhat prepared. I wish your shots were clearer but otherwise great video!

Thank you I'm from South Africa and these videos helped my sister greatly

Thanks for the time taken dude

Great tips! Very interesting video!

watched this like 10 times, so many great tips..

As a newcomer, this video has pointed out MANY things I was curious about .. Gonna go & look for some B&P Ammo..

Due to cervical neck injury, my competive shotgun days ended many years ago. My instructor was a guy by the name of Dempsey Davis. He was a world skeet shooting champion, world class live pigeon champion and exibition shooter. If I'm not mistaken, he was also the first person to brake Herb Parsons record for most hand thrown clays broken in the air, shot individually with pump shotgun. He started me out with a pigpong ball in the grass about 10 yards away and a daisy Red Ryder BB gun with sights taken off. The site taken off was so I could learn to focus on the target and never the gun. Once I could hit it continuously, he moved me on over to the skeet range. While he insisted that all outgoing, incoming, quartering and close targets should be swung through and blotted out (the swing through method) he preferred to teach sustain lead on most standard crossing targets. After he had me consistently running clays on the skeet range, he started working with me on the sporting clays course. Sporting clays had just started to appear at that time and I fell Immediately in love. It was here that he really helped me polish my long range shotgunning with a method called pull away. It was primarily used on extreme long crossing shots. He had perfected this method during his many years of live pigeon shooting across the Globe. You basically got on the target, rode it for just a second so that your angle would be on same flight path as the target and then pulled/accelerated ahead of it rapidly until your brain told your finger to pull the trigger. His theory was this acceleration gave you the benefit of stretching the shot string more than what you could using sustain lead and it kept you focusing on the target instead of trying to check the end of your gun barrel to see if you had the proper distance. I used this method on crossing doves and ducks.....and if I told you some of the distances I've connected on them you would probably call me a liar, so I'll just say they we're extreme. So extreme, you see the target impacted 2 or 3 seconds after your hear the gun go off. That man knew more about wing and clay shooting than a lot of pros could learn in 10 lifetimes. I remember talking to John Kruger one time at a sporting clays event and he told me if Dempsey would have accepted high level sponsorships in his day, he would have been just as famous as Bob Bristor and the rest of the old timers....but he always refused, he said he was in it for the fun and not the money. Ole Dempsey finally passed away a few years back and he has truly been missed. He taught me a lot about shotgunning, but the most important thing he ever taught me was that basic shotgunning is not that hard once you learn it. It's mostly hand eye coordination and timing. His most famous saying was " Just imagine your gun as a paint brush, focus on your target and let your arm reach out there and brush through it and then your brain will enjoy watching it fall from the sky......"

A awesome video thank you for the tips I’m gonna try them

"So, you have a movie for me?" "Yes sir, I do" Your title card sound is used in screenrant's pitch meeting series

Novice shooter, just getting to the stage where I realise what I'm doing, hitting more stuff. Gun grip part of video is good advice, that's where I need to improve. Thanks

Great instruction by Gebben!

Great bit of tuition - thank you! :-)

super helpful video!

dude, you are the god of shotgunning. great tips.

Gebben, viewed your video and appreciate both your critique on stance, soft hands less body tension. Blue skies, Jg

Great Video!

Very good video. B&P really need to work on their slow motion camera as that would actually show the clays being hit and Gebben's sustained lead and swing through methods, neither of which show very well here. When the slow motion is used later in the video, the mind can process what Gebben is talking about. Great information on set up, hands, foot position, focus - things even, or especially, those who shoot a lot often forget to review in their set up. With some tweaking, this could be a first rate teaching video. Well done Gebben.

Thankyou I Learnt some.

Nice work thank you.

Thanks For Sharing!

Love this video I've only started first session as a fifty year old.

Over and Under shotguns are awesome, great video.

Nice video. What are your thoughts on choke tube selection, do you change your tubes during a round for a particular target? Thanks

Great vid ty pretty much all the same lessons my instructor showed me but that was only once and cost $50. This is repeating that bit so my brain can really soak it up.

Finally a company that makes cartridge that are slower than the norm, more people need to be aware that speed only increased recoil, makes patterns wider/worse and make very little if any perceived difference in lead

Great Video Gebben, have picked up lots of tips already, can i ask, do you aim with both eyes open? Thankyou

I'm assuming that is a Kreighoff Gebben is using? I've shot skeet, 5-stand, and sporting clays for years. I've never had a lesson, and I guess you could say I'm a pretty typical weekend shooter. Some times I do pretty well, but most of the time I perform on the mean. I've used O/U's and I've used SA's. I settled on buying a SA because the perceived recoil with a 1 oz shell is negligible for me. One thing that I think makes a difference in all wing shooting, and something that he touched on, is actually SEEING the target. It took me a long time to understand what that actually meant. You can look at the clay screaming across the sky without seeing it. Locking onto, and really focusing on the clay, has made a huge difference in my hit ratio. Thanks for posting this video. Look forward to more. I've not heard of your brand of shells, but I'll certainly take a look at them if they are available at the major retailers. NOT Dick's of course..

really interesting

Excellent video, Thank you for that. Both of us being long neck shooters, are you still shooting the Pro Sporter because against my better judgment I’m seriously considering trying another high rib, and the K-80 Pro Sporter

This is really great footage for my son what would be excellent is using shotkam footage on the shots

watching videos like this are very helpful! as much as everyone will laugh... I recently got my SGC and went shooting for my very first time.... Purchased a box of 200 cartridges.... and.. urgh... I missed every single clay..... :( I made sure i was in a good stance, A stance that i felt very comfortable in... I have great upper body movement, and that felt very natural to me.. My main issue was leading ahead of the clay, to give the lead time to reach the target.... How much lead, Is something ive still got to figure out... I have wanted my SGC for a very long time.. Most of my life infact... (im 33 now)... and only recently got accepted for it..... As much as i love the sport..... I must say.. My very time going on a day shoot.. Ended in massive disappointment :(

Nice tips.

Very good video thank you very much

Amazing and clear. btw....which gun u have there?

Woow this is the best video I've seen in Long time !😎😎

I've been shooting for years and have achieved good results in some matches. However I'm self taught and didn't find out till recently that I'm left eye dominant. As a right handed shooter this is problematic. I'm going to learn to shoot left handed as spotting the second clay is letting me down. Any advice on how to adapt to shooting left handed as it feels so unnatural. Also checking eye dominance should be #1 tip. If I had learned to shoot left handed as a 10 year old kid (when i started shooting) I could in theory have been shooting at a high competitive level.

When shooting the clay target, is it correct to have the barrel rest downwards before pull then start aiming when released? or is it okay to pre-aim before pull released?

I cant stop staring at that gun long enough to hear what he is saying, that thing is beautiful and EXPENSIVE

Does anybody know's if the new video of Gebben (Basics) is the same as the previous one (Quiet Dust)?

I always was told and always try to have my foot pointing at the kill zone

😮😮😮 this video is fantastic!

what about chokes? what choke are you using in this video?

Are the Baschieri & Pellagri F2 Mach Target Loads CA7T02MAC011, 12 Gauge, 2-3/4", 1 oz, 1300 fps, #7.5 Shot, RELOADABLE? Great video. Thanks

Hi Which O/U shotgun will you recommend for beginners on sporting clays?

Great job every hint was on target. Thanks God bless

This is just Dustin Johnson going incognito with glasses and a hat. He's toying with us by talking about golf

Watch it break😂 Damn that gun is smooth😮 one thing I’m curious about is how to have the stock in my shoulder. If I tuck it in my shoulder I can’t get low enough to look down the barrel. If I bring it up high on my shoulder I can see down the barrel, but it’s like the stock is too high. Idk maybe I don’t need to see perfectly down the barrel/bead as I try to do

very useful thank u

Hi , on this video. which choke tube you used to shooting the clay : IC, M OR F . THANKS

Thanks for the tips. Anyone know what brand/model of shooting vest he’s wearing? Looks great!

Good skills. Wish you use a gun camera to show leads and slow motions.

Which gun model are u demonstrating in the video

Outstanding choice selecting Gebben Miles as a spokesperson. He speaks well but there are a number areas where the video can improve. I agree that the slow mo and frame bracketing could improve. From a marketing perspective the packing in the close ups should have been selected packages that were super clean and perfect as possible, Always put your best foot forward in promo videos. I have more thoughts if B&P would like to contact me. PS I had a chance to shoot a box of B&P last week at a tournament and they are impressive. I would recommend them highly.

I have a rubbed barrel should I hold under the clay?

Do you prefer using a 20 gauge or a 12 gauge for shooting trap. Would you kindly let me know which you prefer?

Great job , enjoyed the video, take care buddy. God bless

Great video, what length barrels on your kreigoff? That wood 👌

Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting stuff and if I shot that type of discipline it might be useful. But I shoot DTL here in France and have my left foot (I'm right handed) at twelve o'clock and have some spring in my knees. The again I shoot clays that are going away from me so aim right at them. I am fairly good being in the top ten percent here in SW France regions of Haute Vienne and Dordogne.

Hey Gebben you should have used some of these techniques last year at the One Box Pheasant hunt and Grant and I might not have beaten you so bad!!

Actually it was Sam Snead that used the Baby Bird metaphor on golf grip. Just saying. Great info on Sporting Clay shooting !

How many years of practice or training required to be pro and represent in olympics double trap shooting🙂??

How can you shoot sporting targets with a rifle type stance( side on ) It must limit your movement, I just dont get it.

great!

I guess when you only go twice a year it’s hard to get very good but it’s a lot of fun anyway. The place we go are mostly in a woods setting it’s more realistic like hunting rabbits and grouse

Thanks

Respect

What's the best choke

Difficult to see the pull away and sustained lead shots. I Would like to see you show us Robert Churchill’s instinctive method. I am unable to do it, but I can’t make it work for me.

This is a good video. It would’ve been even better with a barrel cam on a lot of the shots. He does not mention anything about chokes

Really needed to keep the camera behind you when talking about sustained lead and swing through. The editing kept switching to a view from the side which is pointless. So it was difficult to appreciate where you were picking up the target and where you were shooting.

Question. If you cut down a shotgun barrel to make it a truck gun, do you still have to get it reamed and set up for 3" magnum slugs or would the barrel still handle the pressure.

What length barrel are your shooting?

Why do all the pros use an Over / Under, when a Semi-Auto is much softer shooting ? Other than having 2 different chokes and a shorter barrel(s), what advantage is there to an Over / Under ? Seems to me like most people just like the "look" of an O/U or they like that it cost more and assume it's "better".

Totally not sponsored

If you want low recoil but high velocity, here in the uk I shoot gamebore evo 24g with a 1430fps rating.

Anyone else not see the target at 11:55?

Does anyone know what make and model he's using?

I've been shooting shotguns since 1985, and I still can't hit a clay target. Is that normal? By the time I finally see the fast-moving target; then try to calculate speed, angle, & distance; then try not to look at my barrel or bead; then try to keep both eyes open . . . the clay is long gone.

does a higher speed cartridge mean a smaller lead

What chokes are you using and for what yardage?

Gebben is grade dude

why do you use the 1oz as opposed to the 1 1/8oz?

you keep you eyes in the birds always? and can we close an eyes?

Ben Hogan never said that. It was Sam Snead. Nice video

It would be nice if you either did away with the music or at least turn it down so that the level of music would match the level of the man's speech. It is annoying to have to reach and lower the sound then turn it back up again.

Is trigger discipline a consideration?

If you shoot at a broken clay is that considered a miss?

Please stay in.

The best way to get better is to shoot more. The more birds you see broken the better you’ll break the birds.

A little hard to follow / understand. Not enough slow mo/stop visuals.
