Trap shooting practice techniques

[Clay_Bigs_WFP]

Hopefully going shooting soon and want to learn what you guys do to practice trap shooting (other than just the typical "pull and shoot"). I don't know if there really is much more you can do, but thought I'd ask the insightful people of CG if y'all have any suggestions??

Shootingusa has a few good videos showing different techniques. Much easier for you to watch a few 5 minute videos than me trying to type on this phone . You may have to search their website though, as I don't think it is on their homepage anymore. I'll try to dig them up when I get home if you can't find it.

Also, the videos I'm referring to cover aiming, form, etc. There is a video regarding speedloads which isn't what I'm referring to. I just checked their site and the links are on the homepage.

Practice mounting your shotgun buy bringing the stock to you cheek...and not your cheek to the stock


********** Make sure your firearm is empty....do not have any live ammo on or near you. Use snap cap if you have them *************

Pratice swinging and pulling the trigger and continue the swing after the shot.

For trap pratice ....starting at 6 o'clock
swing to 10 o'clock, 6 to 12, from 6 swing to 2 o'clock

For skeet.... Face the center of the clock....rotate you torso to 9 o'clock and swing to 2 o'clock, do the same from 3 to 10'o'clock.....dry fire in mid swing and continue you swing.
