Great video, I shoot this ground and the clays off the high tower are challenging, especially for an inexperienced shooter (like myself). Great advice and tips for hitting these clays. Thanks
Great video! What I would really like to see is a video of a lesson in the field. A fair shot looking to improve, with good camera angles to demonstrate both when and where the client is missing and also the hits. I think many mistakes we all make are mirrored by a lot of other people and I think this would be really beneficial in a video. it is something that I have never seen before on youtube and really think it would go down well. It's fantastic seeing people smashing clays and hitting birds every time but its harder to learn from in my eyes. H
Dave, brilliant video, and I agree with everything you say. But I must add an element into this “the brain”. A very complex computer that can do many calculations in nano seconds. Let me explain, on a clay trap you know when & where the bird will appear. In the field the bird can come from any height, angle, speed and direction. Your brain uses your eyes to interpret this information very quickly, Ie, where to place your feet, where you want to start your swing, the amount of lead, and most importantly when you pull that trigger. One last thing you need to have, what I call a natural eye. Agree we can all get better with practice, but only a few of us will ever reach the top.
Good insight to the ''holy grail''.Fibre/Wool wad cartridges I take it ? Not looking to start a debate on the why's and where fore's just a requirement on many shoots theses days.Not a personal preference but when needs must and all that.
on clays i try to get out at least once a week but no more than that really, game shooting will be at least once or twice a week throughout the game season, thanks for your nice comments Allan!!
Very nice videos, Dave. The blue vest you use to wear is very nice, do you remember where you got it or where I can get a similar? Thank you for all your videos and have a happy new year!
dave excellent video has usual .the problem i got is i just loose it on the peg i go to pieces any tips i seem to be more worried what every one else is thinking about my shooting .i that fed up i thinking of packing in .on the clay ground i fine
Thanks Dave, what chokes do you shoot in that gun, that plays a big part in that kind of distance? Also been a long time since I shot a high tower. Seems I remember the lead being close to a small school bus for a crosser. Those were some long shots. Excellent shooting!
its always a split second delivery at the very last moment, i think instinct kicks in and does the work, some people say i seem to have a little final flick on the gun, i think speed of gun and bird is a big thing as well, you have to be a good judge on distance as well as speed this ultimately determines lead put on, i have seen high birds that want very little lead, yet you get the same height and a bird screwing down wants loads Sorry about the delay in getting back!

i've no doubt you will hit most clays round the tower with that combination, but if you know Parklodge - then if you look over the field at the stack of bales near the Hedgerow - that is where i was shooting some of them from!!
Mike - apologies some one watching me shoot the tower gave me a side by side to have a feel and look but i didn't fancy shooting long crossers with it, i could not see over the barrels
You never fail to give free advice, thanks Dave
no problem more to come
Excellent tuition David thank-you ! Looking forward to more footage.
thanks

you are right of course - its something we are working on to help people in the field
Just got my first gun a silver pigeon and this video is really helpful
that is what it is all about Charlie - helping people like your self
Dave Carrie Shooting thanks enjoy the videos

everything has to run smoothly
Sound advice!

you cant beat plastic
Totally agree.Really comes home to roost when shooting better birds.
Ojalá en España tuviéramos esa Torres un saludo y a seguir difruntando
Gracias señor por tus buenos comentarios
I wish I could shoot as well with two eyes as you do with one!👍You do get plenty of practise though!😊
on clays i try to get out at least once a week but no more than that really, game shooting will be at least once or twice a week throughout the game season, thanks for your nice comments Allan!!
Very nice videos, Dave. The blue vest you use to wear is very nice, do you remember where you got it or where I can get a similar? Thank you for all your videos and have a happy new year!
i think it would be a schoffel gillet you are talking about- these are available online or most good gun shops, thanks for your kind words
Sound advice.
dave excellent video has usual .the problem i got is i just loose it on the peg i go to pieces any tips i seem to be more worried what every one else is thinking about my shooting .i that fed up i thinking of packing in .on the clay ground i fine
just focus on the bird, they will be all missing as well, it doesnt bother me, i miss just the same as anyone else - but not as much
Lovely video and great shooting, Dave. Is that a Miroku MK38 Trap G5 you're using?
thanks for the nice word, yes it is a MK38 grade 5 but with the MK60 barrels on
Thanks Dave, what chokes do you shoot in that gun, that plays a big part in that kind of distance? Also been a long time since I shot a high tower. Seems I remember the lead being close to a small school bus for a crosser. Those were some long shots. Excellent shooting!
3/4 3/4 or full and full
yes they are pretty rangy shots with massive leads
@@DaveCarrieShooting Thanks for the reply. Really your videos. It's a pleasure watching you shoot. A driven shoot is definitely on my bucket list!
Hi Dave thanks for all the great videos. What chokes are you using at these ranges or do you stick to the 1/4 and 1/2 ?
mine are usually fixed or teague 3/4 and full
How much lead do you place in front of the bird at those distances ? Thanks

Speed of gun and follow through
We shoot park lodge 1/4 1/2 choke does about everything, they say 24 gram cartridges will take everything there?..
i've no doubt you will hit most clays round the tower with that combination, but if you know Parklodge - then if you look over the field at the stack of bales near the Hedgerow - that is where i was shooting some of them from!!
Nice video, Dave how long are the Barrels?
32 inches
@@DaveCarrieShooting thank you
Dave, is that a custom stock or factory stock you are using?
custom
Dave did I see you shooting a side by side there one time?
never shot one but will give em a go soon
Mike - apologies some one watching me shoot the tower gave me a side by side to have a feel and look but i didn't fancy shooting long crossers with it, i could not see over the barrels
Mhmm and
Mmmmmmm
28 grammes ????
game loads
Nice video but your gun safety is not good enough. 4:55 for example. Gun should be broken!
