This is a prime example of inconsistencies between practice mounts and the mount while live shooting. When David dry mounts the gun, he lightly buries his cheek into the stock. On an actual shot, his cheek never touches the stock. Anybody new to shooting must make a conscious effort to make the practice mount and the mount during a live shot exactly the same, otherwise gun fit is a waste of time.

For some reason i shoot my best tournaments not over thinking it. I get into a groove and when i get on a streak i just go with the flow and let my body do its thing. When i start to think and pay too much attention to detail, i start to miss

Great video Dave! I would have loved to see as part of this video or a separate video, you talk about sight picture, and what you're supposed to see behind the gun, how much rib should you be seeing, should you use sight etc. A drawing/diagram on this would be great

Really helpful again. I did pick up an idea from another channel; in order to practice aligning the gun correctly, attach a drinking strawer to the top of the barrel at the stock end and look down the barrel and through the strawer when mounting the gun. If you can see straight through the strawer, the alignment is bang on ( pardon the pun!)

@welditmick Жыл бұрын

That is an extremely flat position. It used to be 1 or 2 coins (depending on the height of the front bead) placed were the breach ends (3 inches down?) When mounted you should just see the top of the front bead.

thats his natural mount because he's barrel chested. i'm curious if he's hitting his targets, but yes his cheek is off the comb. wondering if its because of cheek slap...

I have seen some very good shots over the years that have developed their own style of shooting which, works well for them uniquely. Head well down. Head up. Arms splayed out, or arms tucked in tight.

I shot a round of sporting clays before, borrowing a Beretta Silver Pigeon over/under. I was bruised in the cheek after around 30 shots. Now shooting trap with a side by side from '54, no cheek slap at all. Not sure what that "means" but I'm sold on tge side by sides

I find it hard to beleive half of what these guys say. I took a mirouku O/U in with me for a lesson, was told the comb height wasn't great for my body shape and I would be much better with a browning. I ended up taking the advice and buying one a few months later. About 8 months after this I went back into the shop and I got the usual hard sell that you get at TOGC. They asked me what i was shooting and I said a 525, without a second breath they took a mirouku off the shelf and told me that it would be a much better fit. I then proceeded to explain that I'd swapped away from the mirouku based on their advice....cue some back tracking and bluster. Every time I've been in there they are always trying to up sell. I find it quite off putting which is a shame as it's a great ground.

David, I find that when I’ve shot a few clays I get aching in my lower right back. I’m a right hand shot. Also I find that sometimes I am too far forward with my weight. What would you suggest to correct these issues?

It ia called glove grip. This is why good shooters has it. Or grip modified to your hand where is trigger finger. Same handle every time. This is reason why I will have it.

How much do you need to turn your upper body? Because If you stand broadside I think it is impossible to mount the gun to your cheek and shoulder and get a good sight picture. Because the distance between your shoulder and cheek is to much than. But how much is enough and how much is to much side movement of your upper body?

Hello TSC, I am not able to afford a skeat vest but I do have a vest that I can shot with, I shot about 55% to 60% on average but I do get a very small number of shots that are uncomfortable but that is where the clay has come out from somewhere of the line from where I was thinking it would.

Sorry, but surely not really practical advice to "ditch the coat" when game shooting! The odds are in the uk that it will be wet and the ground muddy, so unless you have a loader to hold your coat, it has to be placed on the muddy ground, not really a good idea!

All this is meaningless if the gun does not fit you. Few guns come with right LOP and offset for each individual. Usually to short and neutral for proper gun mount. One size fits all does not! Manufacturers need to offer more variety.
