Set up, land marks, break point, hard focus, hold, under the line, match the speed
Leaning tower of Miles
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.

This week Karen and Gebben continue the laser series shooting targets below their feet, specifically a quartering clay that is quite deceiving!

This is a commonly missed target due to the required move of precision in order to successfully break this clay.

Draw length, timing, and attention to target line are extremely important and highlighted easily with the laser in this episode.
