This week, Gebben and Karen take us through a left to right looping crosser with some speed. Karen has some wonderful insight in regards to letting the target connect differently than she planned. Being able to adjust when we don’t make a perfect move is one of the things that the top shooters do best.

Gebben and Karen take us through a long incoming target. Some people call the a “crow”. The show us a couple different spots you can break the target. They also put it together in a pair and show how “singles” practice helps you for shooting the target in a pair.

Gebben and Karen walk us through a true pair of a rabbue and a tower target. The rabbue is a trap style target and very tricky. The tower is a nice crossing and diving shot from right to left. In order to break this pair you have to have the right mindset but also need to have some tangible skills and be able to execute. Make your plan, be confident l, clear your mind, let your eyes settle, call for the target, watch the first target break, shift your visual focus to the second target, feel it connect with your gun and watch it break as well! These are the ins and out of what is covered in this video.

Gebben and Karen shoot a pair off of a tower. The explain how to put a big gap on the first target and then transition correctly to the second target. Karen shares a concept that she recently realized from Gebben’s teaching about reading the 2nd target of a true pair. Some very good concepts here!

Gebben and Karen show us how to shoot a 70 MM teal target. The break it down and describe it thoroughly.

Gebben and Karen give us a in depth explanation of anticipation of the target. They cover what it is, how to use it, and help us apply it.

Anticipation is definitely in the movement of lower body and the speed at which we mount the gun.

They describe the subtle differences from feeling anticipation between sporting and F.I.T.A.S.C.

Gebben and Karen take us through 2 different true pairs and share some great ways to approach these types of shots.

Notice the deliberate cut across move on the second target of each pair!

Gebben and Karen take us through a report pair that is a high R-L Chondel on report a lower L-R Crosser. Watch the way they shoot this pair but also pay special attention to Karen’s mental game advice! She talks about not just being ok with breaking the targets, but perfecting the breaks. Don’t just hope you’ll break the next pair. Know that you’re going to break it and let’s see how hard we can break it!
