In this episode Gebben and Karen show us subtle but very important details on similar targets. The trajectory of the targets are similar, but the speeds are different. Notice how the faster the target is the further away from the machine the hard focus point is. The better plan you have the better product you’re gonna produce!

In this episode, Gebben and Karen reiterate the importance of marking our set up and help us remember that we never outgrow the need for basic fundamentals!

Set up, land marks, break point, hard focus, hold, under the line, match the speed

Gebben and Karen teach us how to approach a very unique target presentation! They shoot a target that is diving downhill below their feet. They are standing on a platform and are shooting a target off of a tower that is at the same eye level as they are. Since the break point of the target is below the hard focus notice how they both slide straight across from right to left.

“What’s the target doing at our breakpoint?!” This is a crucial question in understanding what technique to use while planning for success. This week Karen and Gebben continue the laser series shooting targets below their feet, specifically a quartering clay that is quite deceiving! They talk about common mistakes made by shooters, how target setters purposely confuse us visually with what seems like a crossing targets, and how we actually read, plan, and execute a quarter pounding plan!

Gebben and Karen demonstrate shooting an incoming target below their feet in this episode. This is a commonly missed target due to the required move of precision in order to successfully break this clay. The edgey presentation gives visual challenges and stance adjustments, which are discussed with resolution specifically created when shooting angles below foot level. Draw length, timing, and attention to target line are extremely important and highlighted easily with the laser in this episode.

In this episode, Gebben and Karen take us through shooting a trap-like target under our feet. When shooting targets under your feet, remember it’s important to the narrow your stance and hinge more at the hips to create a counter balance. Both Gebben and Karen share with us some valuable information that will help you break any target under your feet.

In this episode, Gebben and Karen go in to depth about the importance of using your eyes correctly transitioning from one target to the next! Your peripheral vision is so powerful and so important in executing the 2nd shot in a pair.

They start with shoot a true pair with a fast quartering target and a slow incoming 70mm. This transition is from low to high, fast to slow and wide from left to right.

They also shoot this pair as a report pair with the 70mm first. This is slow to to fast, high to low, and from far right to far left.

In this episode Gebben and Karen teach us how to use our eyes to successfully break targets! They help us understand hard focus, soft focus, transitioning between the 1st shot and the 2nd shot and much more!

In this week’s episode, Gebben and Karen take us through a challenging transition shooting a long teal, true paired with a good looping crosser. As they shoot the teal going up, they will transition lower for the second target.

In this episode, Gavin and Karen walk us through what it looks like to have the proper amount of patience on a true pair. This presentation is a left to right crossing target paired with the right to left incomer. The descriptions they use to help us understand how to approach this pair of targets are wonderful and very detailed!
