One learns in every driving school, that you drive where you look. So if you look to avoid an accident and stare on the bumpers of the car you want to avoid, you surely will hit it. So if there is lead then I can not understand how one can look at the target and hit. I wish I would understand how that really works.
+FDominicus When you are looking at the clay, the gun barrel is in your peripheral vision, it is possible to see the clay and the gun at the same time. When you look at the clay, your hands automatically move at the same speed as the bird. Heres an example: looking straight ahead, it is possible to point to an object in your peripheral vision.
Do you look at the bat when you hit a baseball? The club when you hit a golf ball? You must focus both eyes on the target. You will perceive the lead. But if you look at the bead, you will not hit the target.
Something here does not make any sense and I have heard this description may places: "If the gun is mounted right it is shooting where you are looking. So if you eyes on the target, then the shot will hit the target". That is most certainly not possible. If you look & shoot directly at the target then you will miss behind in most cases, because you will not have any lead on the target. In fact the very act of applying lead separates these things. In order to apply lead you will have to be looking at the target and you will have to point the gun in front of the target, which by definition means you are not looking where the gun is shooting.
Head on Gun, Eye on Target, Proper Lead-doesn't necessarily insure a break. I have had clays wind after I've shot. So, weather plays a key. I use skeet to become a better hunter. This guy is a good instructor, but I like to see how he do on ducks, geese, pheasants, grouse, and quail. Birds change direction. You have to be able to swing your gun. Also, you don't always have the luxury of a perfect stance to shoot. However, Skeet and Sporting Clays will make you a better shot.
He's a pretty good wing shooter. Actually, this is an incredible understatement. He seldom misses. He's a master class wingshooter, if there is such a thing.
Clay shooters do well in the field. Rarely have I seen hunters do well on the skeet field. Its all about rounds fired(practice). Most hunters shoot less than 50 rounds a year at waterfowl and upland game combined. A committed clay shooter will shoot 5,000 rds a year easily.
Great speaker and great instructor. So very simply said. Thanks Todd. 😀👍👍
Never ever seen such a short but most beneficial training quote, best whishes.
No body is better than Bender at explaining the nuances of shooting skeet.
Short and sweet . Great vid.
Excellent!!! would love to see more of your videos.
Thank you so much
Love that low recoil.......damn
Great vid just a question what do you think about one eye open or tonight thanks
Well explains even in correspondence training you can learn everything.

Never seen a hunter shoot more than 50% on clays for their first time.
