This is a phenomenal Video! As a Canadian National Olympic Trap Championships competitor I agree with everything you said. Extremely well presented!

Impressive video! KEEPS EVRTHNG SIMPLE! thanx champ

[@GoShooting]

Glad you liked it!

Very informative video . The weight of the shotguns mentioned in the video is 1.8 and 1.6 kg , while it should be 3.8 and 3.6 kg.

[@GoShooting]

1.8 to 1.6 kg refers to the barrel weight Akhlaq. Glad you liked the video

One of the problems in Canada is the scarcity of ranges featuring the Olympic style shooting.

[@ralphsmith242]

Canada isn't the only country with that problem!!

Hello Mark, You have excellent explanation skills. I love Olympic Trap but i have started a very basic error. After a few shots or mid game I start to make precision shots which mean even though unwantedly but barrel and barrel tip starts coming in sight and i start looking both at target and barrel position. I know its basic but how do you over come this issue and how do you keep you focus strictly on targets.

[@GoShooting]

Sounds like a topic for a future video

[@sohaibmajeed8591]

@@GoShooting looking forward to it

I have a question for the chokes. In Belgium we shoot with steel shot. Do you still recommend 3/4 and full then. I feel that it is a little ‘overkill’ for steel shot.

[@GoShooting]

Many manufacturers will not recommend anything more than half choke (modified) for steel unless their barrels are especially made for steel

[@ralphsmith242]

Question; is there any role for an extra-full choke in the top barrel in olympic trap with just 24 grams of shot per shell? And should the use of a 7/8 choke for the first barrel be considered? With such a small shot load and the targets disappearing so quickly I wonder if slightly tighter than 3.4 and full chokes would improve target breaking. Am I wrong?

[@GoShooting]

Yes you are wrong. Tighter chokes don’t make you a more accurate athlete. Standard full and number 7 shot with 5% antimony is fine

[@ralphsmith242]

Thanks.
So the change from 28grams to 24grams didn't change that?@@GoShooting
