In this episode Gebben and Karen talk us through a great pair of targets at a tournament station. This was the station from a monthly shoot at Pine Ridge Farm. There’s a big right to left battue that requires a cut across technique on report a really fast quartering target. On the quartering target, notice how both shooters actually stay in front of the quartering bird just because it’s so fast.

Gebben and Karen talk through three different target types; outgoing, incoming, and crossing, based on their set up and approach to breaking basic targets. They integrate the basic concepts they covered last week and give us further insight to what they do and why they’re doing it. One important thing to note, they do the exact same thing on all of the basic shots as they do every other shot. We never outgrow the need for perfecting basics.

Gebben and Karen go back to the basics of shooting and handling a shotgun. From head to toe every component of the gun mount and move is crucial to executing a good shot. Learn how to start with a balanced stance optimizing your body’s movement, how to mount the gun properly, and how to move your body in rhythm with itself all to effectively move and shoot targets.

Gebben and Karen shoot a chondel target in 3 different places. The 3 break points require similar game plans but different angles of attack. This means that all 3 break points are higher than the hard focus. We create a diagonal line between the hard focus and break points, and that line is our angle of attack.
