@@bartram33 Thanks for sharing another viable option

@mharvey7788 You're very welcome, I'm just trying to put information out there, that other channels don't tend to cover.

@@AdamsClayPigeonGuide That's a great idea! I noticed you're wearing Pillas and was thinking of getting a set. I think a video on how you chose your glasses would be great also!

​@@mharvey7788I'll add it to the list of ones to do

@AdamsClayPigeonGuide That's great! Thanks Adam!

​@mharvey7788 Anything else I can help with or any other suggestions, just ask.

@nickbennett7278 Glad it helped. Barbury is a nice ground. A few of us did the Pro One this year.

@@Flintruper Glad I can help. That's exactly why I'm doing these videos. Thanks for watching and the comment.

@JifeLacket Thank you. Next video within a couple of days and it's a biggie.

@abrampl Yes about 3m of lead was how I saw it when taking the shot.

@the45er I hear what you're saying Rob but I wanted to include that example, to show that stopping your gun, doesn't have any affect either. I have often seen comments regarding this connotation of "stopping the gun" too.

@stevenlord782 Totally agree but unfortunately, it's out there and some take it in.

​@@AdamsClayPigeonGuide yup. Flat earthers Adam. Here's one to watch on u tube. Surviving Duck season. The shot pattern in slowmo. Absolutely fascinating. Also Bob Brister called out this myth in the 70's with his excellent book. Shotguns the Art and Science.

I don't think people fully understand how fast the shot is leaving the barrel. I know it slows down pretty quickly but its speed at muzzle is about 900 mph or in other words, a mile in under 4 seconds.​@stevenlord782

@@billbo7630 No nor me but plenty do, especially with skeet it seems.

@lukedealberdi3713 No, there are two meanings to stopping the gun but yes, the other meaning is when trying to measure lead but not doing it properly. By concentrating on the target, then looking back to the barrel/bead, instead of learning how to incorporate both at the same time. In this instance however, I mean exactly how I have demonstrated, essentially not following through after taking the shot. So stopping the gun at the point of taking the shot, which some believe alters the pattern.

No, there are people out there who think gun speed can turn a round pattern into an oval. I've been told this by a few at my club. I wouldn't trust some of these guys to flip my hamburger let alone articulate a ballistic theory that would allow this to happen.

Thank you very much!

@knighty254 Glad you liked it.

@@mitchell_9709 Some guns accept barrel weights that are often available from the manufacturer. If it's only marginally stock heavy, I'd be tempted to keep it that way. It's generally more controllable than barrel heavy and will aid recoil.

@jerseyrock1969 full for most, 3/4 on others. My son hit it with 1/4 and 1/2 but not so consistently. All shots in this video are mine with full choke.

@MSJOnline1 Agreed mate. Gamebore are still an option and I use velocities a lot for practising but my local stockists just don't have the right selection of Gamebore for competition use for me. That's why I swapped to B&P, I have far more options available locally in a few shops and grounds, all within close proximity. For me to get my choice of Gamebore, it's an hour each way.. Only ones available locally White Gold 7.5 and they are overkill for most targets, I prefer 8s for most shots.

Good effort! Does this mean that shit size doesn’t really matter!?

It depends on the type of target and the conditions. I have been to a shoot before, where the wind speed dictated a 7.5 on a clay 20 yards away. Also I would be using 7.5s on anything over 40 yards and if it was a standard clay edge on such as a teal or a rabbit over about 30 yards.

@@BobbysGunChannel it matters, and there's no simple answer really depends on choke etc too but for me though people put too much consideration into distance and not enough on presentation and energy. A fast clay showing belly even at distance will require less 'punch' than something closer moving slow and edge on / dome in my experience.

What choke contriction?

@buckshotaaa Maybe so but we always hold the gun between our hands when shooting so as long as it only alters the balance a fraction, most probably wouldn't tell the difference.

Any good fishing tackle shop should have them. I've now adapted it further and used a long thin self tapping screw place through a thin flat bracket, that is secured by the butt pad. Make sure the weights are lead as they are easy to drill or shave to size. Check the diameter of your bolt hole before buying the weights. Different guns vary, even by the same manufacturer.

Thank you and yes it was a MK38

Happy to help, video on eye dominance will be out in a few days too.

Pattern plates are very subjective. They don't necessarily give you the information that you want. You don't shoot a pattern plate how you shoot moving targets. They definitely won't prove your eye dominance. Cross dominance works in varying degrees and affects people in different ways. I've toyed with doing a video on the subject and your comment has made the decision easier. I'm off work next week so will make it then. Whereabouts do you live?

I'm right handed and left eye dominant, I found that I only had 2 solutions, either shoot left handed or blur the vision of my left eye with a piece of white cello tape so it couldn't focus which meant might right eye took over. It's easier to blur an eye rather than shut an eye, it lets more light into your vision with both eyes open and you also have x amount of peripheral vision

I'm the same (right handed but left eye dominant) The only way I can shoot (if I want to hit anything) is by taping over the left lens of my shooting glasses, meaning my right eye takes over.

Yes

No, there is more to a proper gun fit but this is the view you should have, when looking down the rib. A proper gun fit will also look at length of pull etc, which includes the angle of your arm in relation to the stock. I'd recommend looking at Ben Husthwaite's videos on it. Nobody does it better.

This is for the vast majority and is considered normal for all disciplines. Some people choose to have it set slightly differently though. A minority like to see even more rib.

Absolutely, if the gun is low in the comb, then you can have an adjustable comb fitted. If it's too high, it will need a gunsmith to take some wood off, not really an ideal option and you'd be better looking for an alternative that is nearer your dimensions. As a general rule but not completely, you get guns that are either a Beretta or a Browning type fit. Berettas and indeed a lot of Italian guns are generally lower.
