    Thank all of you for watching and I hope you learn something from my 40+ years of shooting experience that I felt compelled to give back to the sport. As for the comments relating to Anthony interrupting me please understand the correct context of his "interruptions". I felt Anthony was the best person for the job to help me get all of my most important information into words for viewers. I do not view this as rude or interrupting, but trying to be clear with the question at hand. Until this roundtable previous interviews have not highlighted as many important topics related to my technical and mental game as Anthony helped me bring to you. While I agree a few of the interruptions could have been avoided, they were done with the intention of bringing the correct understanding to shooters of all experience levels and in a way that shooters from all over the world could listen and understand. Anthony's 25 years of time on the range teaching helped me answer the questions that many shooters often have. I am happy with how the roundtable interview turned out and I hope that you can learn something from the information that I was now ready to share with you. The Mental Game and Technique comparison video course that is now for sale offers more specific details about my technical and mental game and the shooting footage includes: patented laser tracking technology, shotKam, night shooting, flash targets, over the shoulder footage and live competition footage. I will also be releasing two video courses that I did alone without Anthony that you will not want to miss. This roundtable and videos will likely be my last so I wanted to 100% to you all and I think we accomplished my goal.
    Thanks George

      You are a role model, not only in shooting but in your example of how a role model should handle, in this case not criticism of yourself but your fellow competitor. My comment was in jest . Thank you and Anthony.

      I love to hear from you all the time and we are so grateful that these videos are available to us through social media and UA-cam. I'm an average shooter I shoot only on game birds but since I have started to listen to you and adopted your way of shooting I have improved massively. in my country, there are no grounds for practice so i love to apply your techniques on game shooting pigeons, ducks, partridge and other that we have in our country (pakistan)
      I love you not only because you are the best shot in the world without a shadow of a doubt but you are a great ambassador of the sport and you are giving back a piece of yourself to this sport. please keep sharing your videos I love them!

    Favourite part of the video for me was George’s formula for winning.
    “Hit all of the targets you should be hitting and as many of the hard targets as you can”
    So true this is how you build a score can’t afford to miss the easy ones.
    Thank you both for taking the time to make this video. ❤

I can’t wait to see the other videos. Great work Chris.

  • @grahamlong6870
    @grahamlong6870 Рік тому +2

    The way George was taught re the safety aspect was EXACTLY the way I was introduced to shooting.
    I used to help a water keeper on a private syndicate where the fishermen fly fished for trout on an extensive system of rivers just on the North of Winchester, UK. and he (Joe) was keen for me to learn to shoot. I did carry a gun, that being a 12 gauge, for about a whole year, and again, like George, having to religiously observe the safety rules without the gun EVER being loaded! Good training!

    Great insight and discussion from two of the best. For those being critical of Anthony's interview style, the unique dynamic you are seeing here may have to do with George and Anthony's very different geographical and cultural backgrounds. Folks from the East Coast of the States (NJ/NY/Eastern PA) tend to speak quickly, anticipate the next point and jump ahead in conversations. From what I know of those from the UK, they tend to be more measured and listen more. No right or wrong here, just a very interesting mix.

    You as an accomplished World level competitor being humble enough to invite and interview another World level accomplished competitor, speaks volumes of your high level of integrity and professional demeanor.
    A very Grand Congratulations is deserved here to be extended to you by the Sporting Clays Community, especially from all here in the US.!!!
    We are all Blessed to have you in our Lives.

    Amazing interview hearing the best in the world laying out his past and his journey to present time. It is very frustrating wanting to hear the interview with Anthony constantly interrupting him before he can answer the question that takes him 5 minutes of talking about himself to ask. Maybe someone from Texas with a little more courtesy and respect should have performed the interview. With all that being said, Anthony touched a lot of good points to get technical answers from George. Well done Gents!!!

    Hi anthony, two things , you are a better shot than intervieuwer , the amount of time you spend on this video answering the question you just asked George yourself was cringeworthy to see, because of this you talked at least one third of the intervieuw about yourself, a missed change to get more out of this intervieuw with the geat master. Second thing i would have loved to hear from George his opinion about the other shooting techniek , which applies for the less talented amoungst us ( read 75 % ) how to hit game or clay targets with some sort of barrel awareness instead of purely shooting instinctively wise . If you shoot instinctively ( seeing no lead pictures due to the absence of where the barrel is when you pull the trigger ) like the majorety of us the tuition that people like George and so many other top shots give do not make sence to the averaged shot. As we all know we cannot transfer, buy , or rent talent from super talented sportsman like George, or tennisplayers like Federer . In this contest you should have a look at the very best video on this sublect so far ever made by TGS instinctive shooting 101! With former world champion fitasc 2014 Ed Solomons , anyway you have at least one very import question for George the next time you intervieuw hem, and do not try to answer this question before he does 😉 bye for now, Marcus de Koff from the Netherlands

      I’ve only watched about 10-15 minutes of the whole video (but what I’ve gathered so far) Anthony at the beginning basically said he was gonna butt in and ask him questions so it was gonna be interactive and we could follow the timeline of his early years. And that’s a pretty lengthy comment so his interruptions must of really got to you, all I can say is set up your own production team with Chris Claxton himself, bring George in for however many weeks and let’s see your interview with him sir.
