      Don't focus on the lead or the bead....point nose/body at target, match the speed and break the target. For right handed shooters, you're naturally behind targets on the left of the barrel and ahead of targets on the right of the barrel

      That's all fine and dandy when you get to see the target for some time, but...let's move the target closer and increase the speed and shorten the window of opportunity - none of what you're shoveling will work for me in this scenario! Let's throw a few trees in the way too. Coach me on this one!

    Loved your video with Gil, my only question would be, how does your brain account for the differences in ammo velocity? If your matching the speed of your target and breaking it with 1200 fps target loads, wouldn’t you miss with 1300 fps sporting clays load? Better yet, if you apply the matching the speed of your targets, (ducks), and your shooting 1500 fps ammunition, wouldn’t your lead be different??
    Love your videos, keep up the great work!! God Bless

  • @woodruffwalker1868
    @woodruffwalker1868 6 днів тому

    i think if you come up behind and near the bird or on the bird and track for a few millisecs a lot of info,goes into the brain about line which is the difficulty with long distance driven birds and also info about speed ;if you then overtake the bird you can follow the all important line easier. The point about fine focus on the bird only at the point of firing is vital.

    Great video!!!! My big takeaway was sustained lead over pull away. I feel I do excessive movement and speed change with pull away. Is there ever a time to use pull away like on slow quarter shots where the gun would move to slow for sustained lead...that is what I need to find out shooting and practice both. Nice job again!

    5% likes on such an informative video! 2”. Establish lead at insertion. For RH RE dom shooter LtR target look at the bird and then mount. Match the bird speed eliminates any variance in bird speed. If bird is getting away try starting the gun moving when calling.

    Your game plan has to be thought out a bit before you call pull. Once the target is released, you can't be thinking about the shot process, but rather your arms reacting to what your eyes are telling them to do. There are quite a few things involved in the total shot process, but all of it becomes naught if your eyes don't get to the leading edge of the target right before the trigger is pulled.

    Well most great shooters eg Digweed , Hustlethwaite , Dave Carie and many others shoot overwhelmingly swing through or pull away. As far as wing shooting in UK you are shooting increasingly on driven birds whose flight path you don’t know beforehand flying beyond 40 yards at 40 to 60 miles an hour either staying at the same speed or accelerating and often curling. Maintained lead is not popular with the great game shooters because it’s difficult to adapt it wuickly to an unknown flight path.

      @pawpawcotee 10 днів тому +1

      @@bluesix2843 I shoot instinctively (which is what Gil Ash teaches) and that method of shooting is often mistaken for "sustained lead" or even "spot shooting". The biggest difference between Instinctive shooting and sustained lead is that, shooting instinctively allows a shooter to "never" have to remember how much lead was applied to a particular target. It doesn't matter how fast or what direction its flying, the process remains the same and "lead" is automatically calculated using the data from what the eye is seeing and transferring that data to the arms. I initially thought Instinctive Shooting was a crazy idea, but after learning it, I could never shoot any other way. It's just the most consistently accurate way I've found to shoot.

Generally hold point around 50% of when you see it best, meet/beat the barrel, match the speed and extend or swing through. I’m no expert and shoot best instinctively no doubt. The one thing that was drilled into me was hold point is No1.

    Here's the problem with the "pointing" analogy. When you point, you are constantly adjusting the position of your finger relative to the target as the eyes get more information as to the relative positions. You don't just "point right at it", you aim your finger...
    Now if you practice "pointing", you will improve the ability of the brain to more accurately "point" and less aiming will be required. This is what the experts do when they talk about pointing,, not aiming.
    This is also the difference between "calculating lead" (doing 4+4+4+4=16) and "feeling lead" ( knowing that 4x4=16). Experience and practice.
    This kind of language aimed at beginners has always struck me as counter-productive and confusing. Asking them to work on running while they have no grasp of walking.

    Gil Ash has some good information and I appreciate it, but I don’t believe he has ever coached anyone to become a world champion. His level of coaching is not at that level because he is not incorporating the other methods from what I’ve seen. The problem with his method is your guessing the line of the bird. That’s why George Digweed comes from behind the bird and then Ben Hustwith does a pull away. Anthony Mataresse does a hybrid of pull away and maintain as he goes for crossers which I think is a good compromise.

    • @MrCabimero

      I am not being critical of your comment but who has coached the world champions? I truly don't know because I have never heard them say who was their guru. I have taken lessons from Gil and others. I think that I learned different things from all of them and incorporate different techniques depending on the presentation- one size doesn't fit all birds I guess.

      @@MrCabimero that’s exactly what I mean. It is not one size fits all. Gil seems to concentrate on beginners to mid level and as a business that makes sense. He has been coaching so long you would think one of his students would have been world champion by now but there hasn’t been any because really at that level or even the top national level, it is not a complete way. A coach that is for the top levels would be Dan Carlisle. Of course Anthony Materese, Zach Kienbaum, Wendell Cherry would be ideal coaches at the top.
