Instruction from Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School, presented by NSSF, addresses a common issue in shotgun sports where targets seem to speed up. Ash explains that this is due to the shooter's gun moving faster than the target. The technique taught involves focusing on the front of the target and matching its speed with the gun barrel to create the perception of a slower target, making it easier to hit.
To make shotgun targets appear slower, focus on the front of the target and match its speed with your gun barrel. This technique, taught by Gil Ash, counteracts the perception of acceleration caused by your gun moving faster than the target.
This YouTube video clip from the NSSF channel features Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School providing essential shotgun tips. The focus is on improving target acquisition speed by emphasizing a specific eye focus technique. Viewers are instructed to direct their attention beyond the target's trajectory to quickly re-focus for subsequent shots, aiming for greater precision and efficiency in shotgun shooting. The full episode is available on the NSSF YouTube Channel.
Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School explains the importance of using proper shooting glasses in shotgun sports to improve clay breaking consistency. The video, promoted by NSSF and its associated campaigns like Let's Go Shooting, emphasizes how correct eyewear can positively impact performance for shotgun enthusiasts. It also highlights resources for finding shooting locations and engaging with firearm owner advocacy.
This drill focuses on improving pistol accuracy by isolating trigger anticipation. By firing a single live round and immediately following with a dry fire, shooters can identify muzzle movement caused by flinching or anticipating recoil. Practicing this at distance, like 40 yards, provides clear feedback on trigger control and sight alignment.
Understanding Minute of Angle (MOA) is crucial for accurate long-range shooting. MOA is an angular measurement, approximately 1 inch at 100 yards, that increases linearly with distance. This concept simplifies scope adjustments for bullet drop and windage, allowing shooters to precisely compensate for gravity's effect on trajectory. Proper zeroing and understanding scope click values are key to achieving consistent accuracy.
Ryan Cleckner highlights stability as paramount for long-range shooting, recommending shooting bags for a consistent platform. He stresses focusing on the reticle for sight picture and maintaining steady trigger pressure through the shot with follow-through. Proper scope setup is crucial to avoid 'scope shadow' and ensure accurate point of impact.
Proper rifle scope mounting is crucial for accuracy and shooter comfort. This guide emphasizes fitting the scope to the individual shooter, ensuring a natural cheek weld and eye alignment. Key steps include secure ring installation, achieving correct eye relief, leveling the reticle, and focusing the ocular lens for a clear sight picture.
