Really great information and presentation. In the very beginning you apologized for the length of this vid and truly wish your vids were longer like this as you’ve got a wealth of info. Thanks for the education!

Glad it was helpful!

I don't know about anyone else, but I like the longer videos. About routines, I was a competitive runner in my younger days, that little man in my head would always get in the way just before the race would start. It took a few years to get a routine down to warmup, line up and start a race the same every time.

The deep breath and slow exhale is also part of lamaze! I've used it for pain relief also. And the mentality is important to help performance - once a shooter stood outside our field and said he would shoot any low house skeet target I missed once it crossed out of our field boundary. Well, knowing that this expert smugly stood there waiting, caused me to grin inside and said to myself, "I'm not going to give him the satisfaction!" And I hit 25!

This is very helpful. Thank you

My wife and I shoot together, she can my biggest distraction. Never thought about it before but I’m so eager to see her shoot that if she is shooting right before me it throws off my routine. I start my routine when I’m about to be on deck but if she is before me my mind is not on the task at hand, then a freak out and rush when my turn is up. Also I think part of the routine is after the shot, I’ve got a little “celebration shuck” when I hit, and a “disappointment shuck” when I miss(I use a pump gun). It’s just something I do naturally and I have to make a conscious effort not to do it, but it’s part of the routine nonetheless. Just a nice end to the routine.

Great analysis, will keep it in mind, cheers

Very good and very usefull video Lauryn and Russell... keep on going like that!!!

This is gold!. I was working on the very same thing today and it's always been a struggle. I started doing the breathing and it was a major advantage. That little man in our head sure has a lot to say at times. It's getting him to shut up that's important...

Thanks for the great videos. As a 54yo beginner your videos are great ! I’m still trying to get a consistent gun mount on a borrowed gun. I might need to buy my own gun with adjustable comb and then just focus on preparing prior to each shot.

The more you practice at home the easy it will be at the range Ian. Good luck with it.

Hello from North East Pennsylvania,thanks for the advice I will give it a try ,I find It a little hard to concentrate sometimes with a group but want to improve my score so thanks for the advice,much appreciated. Janet

You can do it!

Thank you. I often practice by myself at tap, so I end up shooting through my games very quickly. A breathing routine will help slow my tempo as well as distract that inner voice. For me, the last thing I do before saying "pull" is opening my eyes as wide as possible. I walked around squinting for my entire adult life, so when I took up trap in retirement -- my eyes wouldn't open all the way!!! It took me months to get my eyes wide open. A lot more light -- and it seems to boost my concentration.

Howdy Russell'..Great informative vid mate. I noticed with interest the 3rd lady shooter closed her gun before the 2nd shooter had shot..I have always thought that you could only close the gun when it was your time to shoot !!

I live in the US, I have only been to a trap range once(they shut down the one close to my house). But we had to leave the gun open or keep the action open until it was our shot. I always assumed it was all trap ranges, but maybe it was just that one range.

Excellent

Over the years I have seen many shooters on the mark put their gun to their shoulder then reach up and adjust either their glasses or hat , they almost always miss the next bird , the same with a shooter who gets a broken "no target and " keeps their gun to their shoulder and calls again , without resetting themselves . I once saw a top skeet shooter shoot his 24th bird , station 8 low house , and get covered in wind blown clay fragments , I said to the guys I was with " watch this ,he will miss the next bird " . They said "he never misses " but he did , his mind , or maybe his automatic self preservation instinct, kicked in and he missed . Always take time to reset.

Another Great piece of advice Russell. We all Hate that little man.

Hello Mark, in the past weeks of confinement i reviewed almost all your videos and i have noticed that in the olimpic and world competitions of double trap you and your competitors used guns with very high ribs... My question is ; Was it a fashion of those times that you all followed or there is a solid reason to justify / prefer that kind of ribs ?? Thank you and your wife for your constant informations and help... Joaquim Beauvalet Borja

@@joaquimborba4763 those high 40mm ribs were only beneficial for Double Trap where the shotgun is started in a position way above the roof of the trap house. For Olympic Trap I always used a conventional 6mm rib.

@@GoShooting thank you, once more, for your constant disposal and quick responses and good informations...🙂 In Portugal, we have started the local competitions already, but still with a great deal of precaution and care... We have to use masks all the time, and we only take them away before entering the shooting ground...we must respect the 2 mts distance...and only move to the next box when the # 5 finishes his shot...and in a certain extent we all have our pre-shot routine altered due to this "slow motion" process. Now i'm going to watch your gun mount for dummies part 2 😀

Ha ha there's my distraction right there; "does a woman have a little girl in her head" That'll stick with me now for some time to come.😅

Someone said "you've got to be really smart or really dumb" That can be really disconcerting when you're going okay but you know you're not MENSA material...

If you want to visualize an outcome during a round of Olympic Trap (as the target can come from 1 of 3 traps (left, center or right)), any suggestions on how to visualize this before you mount the gun and call for the target? Thanks!

@GoShooting

3 жыл бұрын

It is a good question. When visualising in events of unknown target trajectories it is important to simply visualise the perfect pre shot routine such as gun mount, placing your eyes in the correct position, holding the gun correctly etc. Don't make the mistake of guessing which machine will fire

@@GoShooting As suggested during the interview with Dan Carlisle (as I did take an OT lesson from him), he mentioned that you could "count" targets on each station (as for example, count "center" targets (as there is only one center target on each station) and then, you can do a visualization of a left & right target and incorporate this into your pre-shot routine, as a thought). Thanks for the reply!!!

Being left-handed in Olympic trap can be an issue cuz movements people to my left make can cause distractions...

@GoShooting

Yes that is correct. Its the only advantage we can think of in being right handed

When you say distract you actually mean think more about target and make up mind yes i can actually hit it?

I know some women like that little man.
