NRA Annual Meetings; Lessons from Shooting Sporting Clays | Gun Talk LIVE

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.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, emphasizes the critical importance of 'follow-through' in shooting accuracy. He explains that many shooters ruin their shots by lifting their head or dropping their arms immediately after firing to see the impact. This fundamental technique involves maintaining sight alignment and keeping the pistol level after the shot breaks, preventing inconsistency and low impacts. Practicing drills like the 'pause drill' can help develop this essential skill.

This instructional content from TGS Outdoors emphasizes matching your shooting speed to the target's speed, rather than trying to lead it.
