That it does. Too funny.

Glad to share. Indiana has a lot of really nice sporting clays courses. Unfortunately, none of them are really close to me. I have to travel at least 2 hours to get to all of them.

@@MartShoots yep.

@@eworks9828 yeah. I’m looking to fix the trigger or replace the gun.

@@dangson1183 don’t we all sometimes

Thank you. It was my first time visiting Indian Creek. It was a great course. Just a long way for me to shoot at often. It was a good 4 1/2 hour drive from my house. Really nice facilities and a huge property.

Ha. I learned a long, long time ago that it was better to use two to break one than to use two to break none. Since Northbrook is the closest place to me that shoots registered targets, I know that they are bad for the ego. They did actually outdo themselves on this one though. Some of the distances on the FITASC shots were absolutely insane.

These are crazy targets. I had just heard about them…these are not C/D cCass level targets. Not really sure about A/B Class either…

@@vandavidson3049 those targets absolutely hurt

Cool. It is definitely a lot of fun.

It is a fun course

It is a fun course

Thanks. I'll look into keeping on line better. I usually focus on lead but I'll check the stance.

@@Physics94 World class shooters recommend not focusing on how much lead because you end up shooting behind. Where are you focusing on the clay?

@@Physics94 Every video I've seen so far from your channel has misses due to coming off line.

@@icebear4849 thanks. I’ll try to figure out how to correct that.

@@Physics94 where is your focus?

Same to you. I think we focus on lead because it's easier to perceive in real time. The line is harder to picture.

That’s the biggest thing I focus on when I do show pairs. The leading edges and the line.

Those looked like some tasty targets…and by tasty I mean difficult. But, it was a regional, so…yeah.

@@vandavidson3049 check out the US Open video. Those were insane compared to the regional.

@@Physics94 I’m scheduled to be at the 2025 US Open - not sure I wanna see those 🤣

No. Just bad shooting. Picked it back up over the weekend. That was good. Finished 3rd in Class in FITASC and 10th in Class in the Main. Picked up 1 punch. Not a bad tournament at all.

Pretty sure that was ammo.

@@Physics94Anything happen to the gun or just the ammo fired weird?

I think it is the style of this specific course. You go to Northbrook and you won't find that.

No there’s courses with plenty of birds not going away.

It was an interesting day with the wind. I think it was Station 10 on the main course in the afternoon that was totally crazy. I was pretty lucky but I saw the wind lift clays right as people were shooting. They had no chance.

It is a great facility. Wish it was easier for me to get to.

A scope with a really big lens so you can see the 76 yard targets. I like the red course up there. It is challenging

Thanks

Northbrook has some of the most interesting targets that you'll run into. It''s just a little too far for me for membership.

Yep. They had demonstrated reprocessing.

Thanks. Good advice. Have to get the gun lower on the start on those. I was way too high.

Thanks

@kylereckart9989 this rule is only for FITASC. It has been clarified many times this year. Rule Clarified on Use of Camera Devices The Executive Council has addressed and clarified the allowability of camera devices, such as ShotKams, on shotguns during competition. It is not against the rules for these camera devices to be used in sporting clays. However, you have 20 seconds to call for the target after entering the shooting stand and between shots, whether or not you are using a camera. Also, use of camera devices is NOT allowed in FITASC competition.

Started on 7.

Thanks. I’m working on moving to a more pull away style. The collapsing lead just doesn’t work all that well. But incomers kill me. I need to try to capture more info on the shots, because it would help when I review them to know if it was std or 70 mm, etc. The regional was my last scheduled shoot of the year, so I’ll be working hard on the switch practicing for the next couple months. I’ll probably try to pick up another registered shoot late on Oct or Nov.

Northbrook is the closest place to me that throws registered birds. I end up shooting there a lot. They are always good for some crazy targets.

Yeah, I do that on occasion. I will sometimes decide to shoot one pair differently than others to take two shots at the easier target. In this case, on Station 1, somewhere in the middle of the video there were two black targets off a tower. I shot the left most target first because I thought it was the slower of the two. I figured I could take two shots at it. Didn't really make much difference.

Shot a 61 on the red course and a 60 on the prelim. Both of those videos are up, too. I was pretty happy with both of those scores. Had the green been a 60, I’d have had a really great week. On the green 1, 4, and 6 really hurt me. I can’t hit a rabbit to save my life anymore.

@@Physics94 I got 63on red and 50 on green. I was struggling with pinched nerve.

Ouch. That wasn't a good course to have a pinched nerve on. I went 61 and 54. Actually, it is pretty hard to shoot Northbrook under the best of conditions.

Thanks

My advice is whatever you do, do NOT shoot collapsing lead. I am trying to break myself of that with the help of a really good coach. I got to that point because I feel rushed when I'm behind the target. I still feel rushed behind the target. I'm about to post an example of two broken targets that I shot pull away and then one I missed because I fell back to my old methods.

Thank you

11/8 ounce #8 Federal High Over All (HOA) shells at 1250 ft/sec. I really like the federal shells. Briley Improved Cylinder in both barrels. Targets were close.

I got farther ahead every shot. That was ugly.

I haven't changed the zoom setting. I should look at what it is set up to but I'm pretty happy with it.

Oui, je veux

It was the default settings. I do think it is less zoomed in that the Gen3 that I traded in to get this one. The older videos in the playlist are with the Gen3 camera and the same gun.

It is

Thank you

Thanks

Thanks

During competition. You can video sporting clays. Can't video FITASC.

Thanks. I usually shoot sustained lead. I'm more comfortable staying out in front of the bird.

Northbrook is nuts. They throw crazy targets. US Open is going to be there next year.

Cool. Keep an eye out for me at shoots as I do travel.

I don't think that's my biggest problem. Lot of issues.

@@Physics94 Kill point, hold point, pick up point to name three. Gun fit appears to be an issue as well. All good fun though.

​@@Physics94... hold point is the most obvious one, too close to the trap so you're chasing them or too far ahead and waiting for them to get to barrels. Fix that and get better kills...

@@littledaddynesbit4193 that’s good advice, too

@@Physics94you shoot fine when they're against sky background (ie. consistent contrast) which tells me your hold point, lead, etc. are all good. but your shots are off when the clay is against variable contrast background (ie. grass, trees, etc.) which suggests you're losing sight of the clay or the contrast screws up your tracking. you could consider colored glasses, which is suppose to improve clay visibility while reducing background contrast. i personally don't use but some ppl swear by them.

Tied for 7 but lost tiebreaker so P9 in D.
