Catapult Skeet Shoot

This video details the process of transitioning from one-eyed to two-eyed shooting in clay pigeon disciplines. The instructor guides a shooter through practicing with both eyes open, emphasizing the importance of visual information and consistent gun mount. While initial adjustments may feel foreign, the goal is to improve overall control and target engagement, with the understanding that some specific target presentations might still benefit from a squinted eye.

This video, featuring instruction from TGS Outdoors at Orvis Sandona, delves into the critical technique of gun mount height for clay target shooting. It emphasizes that the choice between a 'gun up' (mounted) and 'gun down' (dismounted) position is situational, not a binary choice. The instructors explain concepts like 'draw length,' 'sporting mount,' and 'hold point,' demonstrating how to adapt mount height based on target speed and flight time to optimize performance and efficiency. The importance of a properly fitted shotgun for effective low-gun shooting is also highlighted.

This video provides expert-level instruction on retro police shotgun training, emphasizing the importance of dedicated shotgun practice. A police training instructor details the ballistics and advantages of 12-gauge shotguns, covering ammunition types like 00 buckshot and rifled slugs, and explaining their effectiveness in various scenarios. The instruction highlights the shotgun's power and the benefit of multiple projectiles for less precise aiming needs.

This YouTube Shorts video provides beginner-friendly tips for clay shooting, focusing on targeting techniques with a pausing crow target. It's designed for new shooters getting into the sport or trying out a shotgun. The video encourages viewers to subscribe to their Shotgun Channel and Air Gun Centre Channel for more content and provides links to their social media and contact information.

This video from OSP Shooting School, featuring Gil Ash, offers a clever tactic for improving clay target tracking. The core advice is to match your gun's movement speed to that of the fast-moving clay targets, which helps create the illusion of the targets slowing down, thereby providing more time for accurate aiming and shooting. The description encourages viewers to check the full video on the NSSF YouTube channel for additional shotgun tips and links to various NSSF-related resources and social media channels.

This guide details how to conduct skeet shooting with a SilencerCo Salvo 12 suppressor attached to a shotgun. It emphasizes proper mounting, engaging targets, and managing the handling characteristics of the suppressed firearm. The instruction comes from a video featuring industry insiders and influencers, showcasing practical application of specialized gear.

This video from DemolitionRanch, hosted by Matt Carriker, explores the capabilities of high-powered, regulated air rifles like the AirForce Texan SS and Sam Yang Dragon Claw. Carriker demonstrates their impressive power, accuracy, and surprisingly quiet operation due to integrated suppressors, highlighting a legal loophole where these airguns and their suppressors are not subject to NFA regulations. The content showcases ballistics testing and comparisons, emphasizing the expert knowledge of the host in firearms and related legalities.

This video features Nicholas Irving, a former Special Operations sniper, demonstrating and discussing various high-powered firearms. Irving, author of 'Way of the Reaper,' shares insights on sniper rifles like the Barrett M107A1 and SR-25, discusses the recoil of the S&W 500 Magnum, and tests the penetration capabilities of different calibers against an engine block.

This video demonstrates the dangerous consequences of firing incorrect ammunition calibers in firearms. Experienced instructor Matt Carriker shows how .380 ACP in a 9mm firearm and 9mm in a .40 S&W firearm can lead to cycling failures and severe brass deformation due to improper headspacing. The experiment highlights the critical importance of using the correct ammunition for each firearm to ensure safe operation and prevent damage.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring firearms expert Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape when used as improvised body armor. The experiment involves layering Flex Tape onto cardboard and testing its effectiveness against .22 LR, 5.7x28mm (FN PS90), and 9mm (CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1) rounds. The results demonstrate that even extensive layering of Flex Tape is insufficient to stop common firearm calibers, highlighting the importance of proper ballistic materials.
