Sounds like you have trouble keeping a job.

In regards to the question, "does velocity effect spread?". Yes, ever wonder what causes spread, the atmospheric density rushing in between the shot cluster pushes outward. So to some degree more velocity can increase spread rate.

Barrel length only effects swing speed. Some say shorter barrels spread faster. I have been a projectile physicist 36+ years, spread doesn't start until it leaves the barrel. Regardless of how long it is. Spread is all regulated by choke.

Thank you!!!!!!

I see this all the time, people stopping the gun. They miss a lot. It's the mark of an inexperienced shooter or one that learned proper follow through but at some point stopped doing it. Many lost targets on station six doubles can be attributed to lack of follow through and premature gun dismount. Stay in the gun and follow through.

Don Snyder was a great guy and he was an excellent teacher. I miss him.

I´ll appreciate a comparison among 28, 20 and 12ga with the same load one ounce I think 28ga pattern will be closer at longer distances...

Good advice Paul having never been there myself I wondered how you cope with it. Thanks again. 👍

Great tip Paul. Thanks 🙏.

"............. because this game is ALL about confidence". I keep forgetting that. Thanks, Todd.

"nerves the chance to calm down a bit" I can relate in a BIG way. Doing the things suggested helps with that. Also it helps me to focus on being humble. And to stay grateful to be able to be involved with the sport.

I have found that barrel length also makes a difference. My lead on a crosser with a 28 inch barrel is longer than my new shotgun with a 32 inch barrel.

Here is a question I have how much càn weight loss or gain affect your point of impact

This is a great tip that we don't tend to think about

I've always thought of it like when you follow thru you're spreading that shot pattern and really sweeping the shot over the target, instead of one circular straight pattern. If that makes sense lol

Excellent response!!!!

Excellent! When I started in the 1980s 26 inch double barrels were most popular and that is what I shoot 38 years later.

If/when you miss, let it go. There's nothing you can do about it at that point. It's on the score sheet and in the record. The most important target is the very next one so focus on that. Beyond the very next target is too far in the future to think about.

Easy to say, hard to do. But that was the truth which I had to hear!

Wow! He's not looks for that age!

I found myself in this exact situation of leaving early the next round I was shooting with a guy that would legit slow pull every time and I thought instead of getting mad use it as a tool to stop leaving early and leave when you are supposed to I went straight the rest of that round and the next

2:02 "game of skeet best learned with one eye closed". That does not make sense to me as depth perception requires both eyes open. For example, I shoot free throws much better with both eyes open (distance is 10 feet). I shoot billards much better with both eyes open (distance is 4 feet). I shoot archery much better with both eyes open, distance is less than 30 yards. Hitting a fast ball, swinging a golf club are other examples where typically easier with both eyes open.

Absolutely the best advice I’ve ever gotten was from a Southern California skeet shooting champion, DON’T MISS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. I'm going to use this advice. :)

Great lesson thanks Todd!

Great advice all around

He is correct in saying, "you do everything the same". Outside of the scope of his video, there are two other things that affects 'scores' when using a sub-gauge: Skill Level, and gun weight. Most shooters will miss more birds with sub-gauges because they are not near-center-shooting them all. Nearly every bird that a shooter barely hits with a 12 gauge will probably be a miss with a 28, and definitely a miss with a .410. There is way less of an "effective" pattern in the sub-gauges, mostly due to less shot. As for the weight, you do have to get used to a lighter gun (easier swing). A person who is very used to a heavy 12 gauge benefits by the guns very stable/predictable swing. It's way easier to over-swing and/or over-correct with a lighter 28 or .410, causing missed birds. There are also differences in the length of shot strings, as opposed to flat patterns, but I have never really spent the time to figure out how much difference that really makes. I have heard so many different opinions about that, I have no idea what to think about it.

I shoot a Remington 3200 with 26 Inch Barrels and I love it

I had a lesson with John Shima this summer. He a great instructor. Very Patient and Thoughtful Coaching. 😎👍.

I've run 100s with and I grip it so hard I'm surprised I don't leave finger prints in the stock and fore end.

Super !

But, what if I don't have any pieces because I smoked it?

I thought this was going to be about what to wear

Important for life in general, especially for kids. Positive self-image develops early.

New to the sport ..Great advice Thank you ..

It’s been a while

I love your tone of voice in teaching because it's not intimidating at all !!!

My brother can shoot sparrows on the wing with a rifled barrel Crossman 760. In the mid 1980s Crossman riffled the barrels on the 760. To demonstrate how much better they were my brother could call out "That one!" and drop a sparrow on the wing with a .177 pellet or even a BB. Being a BB gun he led his target, and compensated for drop. I swing through my targets, but whichever way works the best for you, use it. We get down the .410 shooting clays.

This dude is absolutely correct text book 101 I’ve been shooting since I was 12 skeet and trap I always wanted to be an Olympic skeet shooter I shoot Low gun 28 gauge I used to shoot 12 gauge when I started when I was 12 now I’m 39 been shooting with 28 gauge last 15 years I’d say or so. Yep!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

Is it 1/3 on all stations.?

so overall the .410 is much less forgiving and more difficult to use in shooting clay pigeons than say compared to a 12 gauge? I don't know much about 410's, but I was considering getting one for my girlfriend to shoot trap with me because she really doesn't like recoil of even a 20 gauge. is it a good gauge to shout clay with?

Well, I'm not President of anything, but I've put a lot of shots down the skeet range with both 12 gauge and 28 gauge shotguns. I would say there is a very definite difference in the two gauges because typically the 28 gauge is a lighter firearm, generally speaking. This effects the swinging momentum of the gun and follow-through, both of which have a very substantial effect on hitting the target.

Execution, execution, execution! Don't even look to see if you broke it. Just execute your routine over and over!

.

By any chance, can you give me a tip where I can buy gas seals for 28 gauge? I am reloading slugs and gas seals cut from Gualandi wads are not strong enough. Thanks!

what kind of hear protection is that, and are you happy with it?

I work at a gun shop and the main steps that I go through when finding the best shotgun for a customer is 1. What are we using it for? Waterfowl, trap, skeet, what do we got goin? 2. Does it fit well?? Shoulder all the ones you have may have an interest in and get a feel for them. The one that you feel the most confident and comfortable in should be the main selling point. 3. If it's a wood stock, particularly, which of the choices we have nailed down looks nicer and prettier? (by personal experience, I know that beautiful wood stocks are a selling point in and of themselves!) Obviously there's a little more to it but once you get the essentials figures out, many times it boils down to personal preference. I've heard experiences of guys that go to these big gun shops and the guy tells em "Oh yeah! Buy this one! This is the one you should buy!" and the guy comes back unsatisfied and upset. I always feel so bad for the guy! I don't work on commission so I'm not tryin to upsell anything. I'm there to sell you the best shotgun that fits the job and your liking so you come back. Not promote the gun I THINK you should buy, but the one I KNOW you'll love.

I personally use my Weatherby Orion, 12 ga., 32" for trap, skeet and Annies. Fits almost perfectly. If I added a 1" butt extension or limb saver, it would be perfect. Absolutley love it.

Hi Becky, Nice to see you doing these videos. It has been a long time since Peoria (1974) , but just wanted to say hi. Keep it up young lady! Jeff
