Why Do We Miss Clay Targets? | Gun Talk Radio

This video demonstrates and discusses the 'collapsing lead' technique in clay pigeon shooting. The technique involves watching the target collapse into the barrel, requiring minimal gun movement and a quick trigger squeeze. While effective for certain target presentations, especially when time is limited, it's not universally applicable and requires practice to master. The instructors emphasize understanding when this technique is most beneficial versus traditional methods like swing-through or pull-away.

Brian Belinsky, known as 'Dr. Shotgun,' emphasizes key techniques for improving wing shooting. He highlights the critical importance of checking eye dominance, as many shooters are cross-dominant without realizing it, which directly impacts accuracy. Belinsky also stresses the necessity of proper gun fit and a consistent gun mount, explaining that 80% of misses stem from incomplete or poorly executed mounts. He advises focusing intently on the target rather than the gun barrel, explaining that the eye cannot focus on two planes simultaneously. Finally, he touches on the concept of 'speed is lead,' advocating for a smooth gun swing that overtakes the target rather than trying to precisely measure a static lead, which often leads to misses.

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, based on instruction from Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School, details how to improve target acquisition in shotgun sports. It emphasizes understanding ocular physiology and using focus techniques to react faster to clay targets or game birds. By focusing beyond the expected target path, shooters can leverage the eye's natural ability to snap back to the target, leading to more efficient and successful shots.
