Were is this held at
It moves around to a different club every year.
It’s still a light recoil gun even though it doesn’t have the kick off option?
I totally agree with you! The A400 is by far my favorite auto.
Covey Rise is a true Gem. Great facilities, great targets and awesome people.
Atlas makes great traps.
Thanks, Dean. I appreciate the time you put into these videos.
You’re welcome
Is that the Briley bolt release?
The bolt release is from Coles. Very similar to Briley. It’s really nice to use.
nice!
Hello Dean. Hayden Brown here from New Zealand. Great to see your videos. Google knows I need your help.
It was great meeting you.
...thanks great video. I've always struggled with dropping birds as I start to measure the lead with the gun and not enough focus on the bird, so I slow down....
Would like to see a right to left crosser.
I will see what I can do
Excellent! The attitude should be I know why I missed and I can't wait to shoot that next target. Steph Curry, Luka Doncic, etc are paid millions of dollars and miss, but their attitude is positive, not negative and they are great shooters.
I agree
Hiiii...in Olympic trap what is the number choke better in first and second shoot.and better to put the gun high or low
???
For some reason UA-cam keeps taking down my answer. 20 or 30 or tighter Up
@@DeanBlanchard in Olympic trap first shoot what choke is better to use
Modified or improved modified then for the second shot I would go with full
This approach you shared with me during my session with you has helped a lot with my game. Being able to move to the next pair with the necessary correction to make the break in mind rather than the why I missed and associated frustration makes a huge difference. Thank you!!
That’s great!
Two keys to six doubles - keep barrel low enough to visually pick up low house then move quickly to the break point. Next MAKE SURE you stay in the gun to break the high house as it appears, moving toward the low house. If you lift your head or pull it off the stock, you probably will miss. Do this and you will break station six consistently.
Thanks for your input
Could you please do one for dove and duck hunting. Love your educational videos .
I will look into it
Great video. Well explained.
Thanks
A year later, you still enjoying the Z-Sport? I'm trying to decide between the Z-Sport and a CG Invictus 1 right now. Also, I see you're in Colorado (or, at least, UA-cam thinks you are) - do you know of a decent shop with a broad selection of O/U shotguns at this price point in the state? Everyone says how crucial fit is, but it seems like there's nowhere around to actually try and compare.
I am located in Colorado. However when I went to buy a gun like this I went to Nationals in San Antonio TX. That way I could try just about every gun under 10k. Yes I enjoy my Z-Sport.
Thank you for this video because I have nationals tomorrow and I accidentally got signed up for bunker trap and I never have seen it before so thank you so much
Looking good.For perfection you need that first bird by 2/3rds to the center stake.Both shots need to be sustained lead shots.
Thanks for your input
On station 4 doubles I feel like I’m “chasing” the second bird. In other words it’s not smooth and comfortable. Seems like im not looking for the second bird fast enough. Any eye drills you can suggest to get to that Bird quicker? I’m older, so…reactions time isn’t as good but I’m hitting them 75% and I feel like I should still be able to raise that break rate to be more competitive. Thank you.
As for eye exercises. I do eye pushups. Focus on something close then something farther away. I do these to the left, straight and right. Another way to get on the second target faster is to work on shooting just the first target to see if you could learn to shoot it faster. Being older I would suggest sustained lead. Best of luck.
Is that golden gun club?
Yes
What size do you wear
I wear a XL for a snug fit. XXL when I want a loose fit.
what choke
IC
I shoot 1/2 and 3/4 chokes from 16 yard line using 1150 fps cartridges. Would you reccomend tightening up the chokes to 3/4 and full and a faster fps ammo to shoot off higher handicaps?
Past 25 yards I recommend full choke. As far as speed. 1150 will break the targets as long as you are confident. Most shooters I know shoot a faster shell.
@@DeanBlanchard thank you Dean
Station 1 high house is very easy to take for granted and miss. Awful way to start a roubd
Missing High 1 sucks.
This is either a parody video or what not to do. You haven’t shot a registered target, not a certified instructor and obviously have no idea how to actual shoot skeet. Nor could you ever shoot doubles worth a damn.
Nice, just need to save up my pennies for this one.
If you break low house at center stake, will be tough to hit high bird for doubles.
The art of shooting Springing Teal!
Nice guns
Well done, good insight
Thank you!!!!
Can’t imagine why anyone who owns a shooting vest for 6 months washes it 15 times. I be had my same vest for 15yrs use it 3 times plus per week and because I wear it over a shirt I’ve yet to wash it and it still looks like new. To each their own.
what choke bro
I hunt with modified
Does anyone know the actual angle relative to the shooter of hard- and quarter-angle targets from posts 1 and 5? Thanks.
I am sure someone might have figured it out. However not all trap fields are set to regulation. From station 3 I believe the targets can go 44 degrees total from the hard right or left. That would make more of an angle on station 1 and 5. Another factor is wind. Wind can push the target creating more or less of an angle depending on the wind. You are overthinking it.
@@DeanBlanchard Jeff Meloy told me that NORMAL hard-angle targets from posts 1 and 5 fly at an angle of 38.5 degrees, assuming that - the way we are measuring - a straightaway is 0 degrees.
Good theory. Thanks for the info.
Your the best guy to explain it so easy .I'm a new shooter but I'm finding it hard to kill the clays .
I have a problem with my DT11. The top lever is getting harder and harder.
My go to beretta gunsmith is Coles in Florida.
Then you'll get that low, hard right and your going to be chasing that target to hell and back because it was blocked from view by your barrell. This may work better on sporting clays where you have a set target line. That all changes with a trap setup with the wobble turned on. Just my 2 cents worth.
The main concept is to set up to see the target early and to minimize gun movement. You would have a lot more movement shooting wobble trap. Thanks for the comment.
@DeanBlanchard I completely understand the concept of minimizing gun movement. Some people take everything they see on the net to heart, and all of the sudden your the bad guy because your tip didn't work in the scenario they were shooting in. Just an observation. Thanks for the video.
Excellent lesson and analysis of how to approach practice. Thank you.
Thanks!
Really like your understanding that not all peoples eyes work the same and the visual point is specific to the individual. My eyes focus slower than most, so having a soft focus a little further from the window helps me see the target more clearly before it gets past my hold point.
Thanks
My question is why are the magnetic barrel weights for the DT11 so expensive as there is nothing High Tech with them. They should be priced at least half of what they are at today. Nice Gun
In my experience in my personal case, it was definitely pitch . Custom gun fit fixed it.
your whole premise assumes a specific methodology .. maybe ok for a beginner lesson ...
… keep your eyes open😆
😄
Great explanation of eye dominance and why it’s important. Dean I am going to introduce my 15 yo grandson to trapshooting. He up to this point has only shot air rifles. He is right handed, left eye dominant. He is very athletic so I am wondering if I should start him shooting left handed? My only concern with doing this is he lives out of state and will only get to shoot when he visits so he won’t get to practice very often. I’m hoping he likes it because he has a gun club only a couple of miles from his house where he could shoot more. Your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Terry
Totally makes sense. Thanks Dean.
You’re welcome
Excellent! Minimal gun movement. Another example is a long tower-based crosser staring way out of gun range and gradually getting closer. Or a shot at an incoming target from a bridge where the target is 25 yards below the shooter.
Great examples!
Nicely done!
Thanks
Dean, a really informative video, thank you. I’m now going to watch all the skeet videos you have posted. Keep up the good work! ATB! JC from across the water.
Thanks! I hope they help you improve
Thanks, Dean!
Great job explaining this Dean. Thanks.
