Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School explains the optical illusion that makes rabbit targets appear faster than they are. He clarifies that speed is a relative concept, using a car analogy to illustrate how perception of speed changes based on the observer's frame of reference. Understanding this illusion is key to effectively engaging rabbit targets in shotgun sports.
The rabbit target creates an optical illusion, appearing 35-40% faster than its actual speed. Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School explains that speed is a relationship between objects, and understanding this illusion is crucial for accurate shotgun engagement.
This guide, presented by expert firearms instructor Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School, breaks down the common challenges of shooting rabbit targets. It explains the optical illusion that makes them appear faster than they are and provides two key solutions: slowing down your gun and focusing on the center of the target. The advice is tailored for shotgun enthusiasts looking to improve their clay shooting accuracy.
This video features Gil Ash from OSP Shooting School providing essential tips on selecting the correct lens color for shooting glasses. The focus is on how different lens colors can significantly improve a shooter's ability to break clays more consistently, offering practical advice for shotgun enthusiasts.
This video details the 'Three Bullet Drill,' a training exercise developed by Gil and Vicki Ash of OSP Shooting School. The drill uses shotgun shells as visual cues to train shooters to maintain focus on the target while correctly mounting their shotgun in their peripheral vision. It emphasizes proper gun mount and eye discipline for both right- and left-handed shooters engaging crossing targets.
This video explains how visual perception can create an illusion of speed, particularly with moving targets like clay pigeons. Instructor Gil Ash advises shooters to slow down their perception by focusing on the center of the target, rather than the front, to achieve a more accurate read on its speed and trajectory.
This guide, presented by firearms instructor Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School, focuses on optimizing eye movement for quicker target acquisition in shotgun sports. It explains the mechanics of eye focus, detailing how to train your eyes to 'trap' a moving target by focusing beyond its path and allowing for a single, efficient re-acquisition of focus when the target appears. This technique is crucial for improving shooting efficiency.
This drill, demonstrated by Adam Painchaud from SIG SAUER Academy, focuses on improving pistol accuracy by isolating trigger anticipation. By firing a single live round and immediately following with a dry fire reset, shooters can identify and correct muzzle movement caused by flinching or anticipating recoil. Practicing this at distance, like 40 yards, provides clear feedback on accuracy and trigger control.
This guide, presented by former sniper Ryan Cleckner, breaks down the critical concept of Minute of Angle (MOA) for long-range rifle shooting. It explains how MOA is an angular measurement that increases in linear value with distance, crucial for understanding bullet drop and making accurate scope adjustments. The instruction emphasizes calculating MOA at specific ranges and converting these to scope clicks for precise zeroing.
This guide synthesizes expert instruction from Ryan Cleckner on fundamental long-range rifle shooting techniques. Key areas covered include achieving stability in the prone position, proper scope alignment to avoid 'scope shadow,' focusing on the reticle for sight picture, and executing precise trigger control with follow-through. Cleckner, a recognized industry expert and former Army Ranger sniper, emphasizes these core principles for accurate long-range engagement.
Ryan Cleckner, a former Sniper Team Leader, provides expert instruction on mounting a rifle scope. This guide covers essential steps from safety checks to final adjustments, emphasizing personalized fit for optimal performance. Key takeaways include proper ring placement, achieving correct eye relief and cheek weld, leveling the scope, and focusing the reticle for individual vision.
