Good Time Shooting at Our Home Base
Last weekend we had a clinic in Houston. And man, what a time everyone had. Again, the concept of moving the same speed as the target was huge. Once accepted, it proved to be lethal for all concerned. I gave my shooting pouch away to John Poe, aka “Cheeseburger” as he won...
A Shooter’s Story
Just had to share this email from Doug Mellen. This stuff is really amazing. *** Gil, Just thought I would drop you a line to relate a story that is too true to pass up. You spent a couple of days here last month and had several good sessions....
Teaching in South Carolina
We're on our way back from Live Oaks Sportsman's Club in South Carolina. During our last visit, we shot with the manager Steve Bolt, who listened to the introduction of the sight pictures and watched our animations and ShotKam shots on birds and clays. Steve was a one-eyed...
Teaching Preload in Oregon
Knowledge Vault Updates Well, it's about time for us to be able to add more material to the Knowledge Vault. We do apologize for not adding video material, but the web designer we recently fired did not want us to add anything for some unknown reason....
Shooting a Moving Target
I shot today in Grants Pass, Oregon, and was amazed again at how lethal it is to move the same speed as the bird. It's not so much the shooter's ability to get the gun in front on long crossers, but the ability of the shooter to see the bird farther...
Teaching in Beaumont: How Quickly the Brain Can Respond
Last week I shot in both Beaumont and Houston with several different shooters, and most of them were confused and trying not to see the barrel. It's becoming more and more evident to me that trying not to see the barrel on the surface seems like something you can...
Establishing the Rhythm
“You won’t win a golf tournament on Thursdays. But you can lose it on Thursdays. Therefore, the first three holes are not about score. They are about establishing the rhythm of your routine with a conservative strategy.” This quote is from "Golf Flow" and was sent...
Iowa Training Session
Well, we are leaving the Iowa training session. And what a great session it was. We had 12 shooters and 12 observers. The first afternoon was in the classroom. We went over the basic toolbox animations, as we always do. We got the usual strange looks about seeing the bird...
Lehigh Valley
Lessons from Lehigh Valley Over the four days in Lehigh Valley, I never stopped being amazed at how many shooters, despite how many times we write about not looking down the barrel, are still doing it. Even though it does not make any logical sense when we propose...
Fixing the Slash at the End of the Shot
I had a shooter with a new Krieghoff that was fit by the factory. It was 1 and 5/8″ too short with cast on for a right-handed shooter. He had a violent slash at the end of his shots and did not realize it. I had to shoot a video of...
