Three "Bullet" Drill | Shotgun Tips with Gil Ash
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- One of the core concepts taught by Gil and Vicki Ash of OSP Shooting School is that shotgun shooters shouldn't look down the barrel, nor at the bead. This drill will help you maintain target acquisition when mounting the shotgun especially when you're looking across the barrel at the bird. Gil and Vicki like to use spent shotgun shell but feel free to use any three objects you prefer; clay targets work well, too. (NSSF Video)

I began making my transition from shooting with one eye to both eyes after purchasing a Rizzini BR110 Sporter. Needless to say I couldn't hit a garbage can flying through the air. This drill literally made me a good open eye shooter overnight. Thank you so much!
Great drill. Just after 3-4x at home I improved my shooting. Of course I also suffered from wanting to look down the barrel. This will help break you or that habit as well.
My favorite drill. Read about it in Sporting Clay magazine. It does help a righty look across the gun. I have watched all of Mr. Ash's videos. First one I've seen with Mrs. Ash. They can call that thing on the rack what they want as far as I am concerned. I'll take their word as gospel when it comes to clay shooting.
I know this is an old youtube however if you still view these occasionally questions would be: You are focused on the center shell but raising the gun so it will be pointing at the shell left or right of center, 1) during the process are you still mounting the gun as you normally would never taking your focus off the enter shell? 2) At anytime do you switch focus to the shell on the left or right to see if the gun is actually pointing at that shell?
I took a lesson with Mr. Ash's son Brian a few months ago and asked this same question. He said never look to see if your on target, trust that you are and you will be. One point of the exercise is to break the habit of looking down the barrel so checking to see if your on target would be counterproductive.
Very good video very smart drill, can't wait to try it. Thanks so much really appreciate ur time. Keep posting videos! :-)
Love and miss shooting with you, Gil and Vicki Ash!
Could you guys do a video on good guns on a budget for trap and skeet?
How far from the three shells do you stand? 20yrds? BTW, Love your video's! Would love to meet you in person.
As a waterfoul hunter long before shooting clays I developed a catch up, pass to lead and then shoot while continuing the swing method that I cannot break but works well for me. AKA as bum, beak, bang when the lead looks correct for the speed of the bird, only aware of the muzzle, never 'seeing' the rib, relative to the bird. I've tried a sustained lead and its relative, follow and jump ahead but my scores always suffered. Anyway a day at clays with the gang is always time well spent.
Great drill/idea! I feel like waterfowl hunter should practice this regularly!
Excellent drill!
Ok 8" to 10" apart, but how far to stand from the targets ( bullets etc)
Boa noite. Eu auto com um olho fechado!!! O meu olho diretor é o direito...!
A que distância dos cartuchos pratico este exercício?
Muito obrigado por todas as vossas explicações.
Yes, they are and should be called shells, however, we often call them bullets at our club. When on a sporting clay's course and someone misjudged the number of shells they bought and run low they often will ask to borrow some bullets until we get back to the clubhouse. We know what they are talking about so it never is a problem.
Shells are spent bullets are loaded
A hull is a spent shell. In my opinion.
When I mount my shotgun I am looking directly down the center of the rib. This method has served me quite well over the past 45 years.
Thanks. I guess this can also work for upward and downward targets if you have 3 objects vertically spaced apart.
How far back do you stand from the shells, 25yrds?
I've watched this video three times, but I can't make any sense of it. "Where the gun would insert" and "mount the gun on the left bullet" ... ???
No offense to Gil-he undoubtedly knows his stuff-but Vicki is a much better presenter for these videos in my opinion. Cool drill too!
Its the exact opposite in my opinion. Gil is a much better presenter and instructor. Vicki has learned and learns from Gil, not the other way around.
My handicap yard is 20, how far back should i stand from my "target" for this drill???
Gill is no doing what Vicki says to do. He stays mounted on the center bullet?? Excellent training video
I am a fast swinger, I start from in back of the bird and as soon as I see daylight in front of the birds beak I touch off the shot.
Did we ever figure out how far away we would place these targets???
Hey folks do some time in the Armed Forces of the USA and you would enjoy Gil's fine approach to training you IMO !!
are we talking here about shooting with both eyes oppen or one closed ?
Cartridge?
If you guys are that hung up on terminology then instruction probably won't be of much help to you.
Exactly!!
So true. Gil and Vicki have so much experience, they've likely missed more shots than anyone here will take in a lifetime.
These folks seem like very credible teachers as well as competitors. That being said, most firearms enthusiasts will "cringe" when someone describes a cartridge or shotshell as a "bullet." Seems picky I know but true credibility starts with proper knowledge as well as the ability to impart technique.
I’m so confused, period! 😞
They are called shells not bullets
@crunch9876 say whatever you want, but when you actually shoot a lot and know what you are talking about when it comes to firearms, then it will probably bother you too. It is like referring to an ar-15 as an ak or calling every polymer pistol a glock. When you hear someone talk like they know guns and then hear that, you learn to just nod your head and agree with whatever they say.
Calling shotshells "bullets" is like calling a collision a "crash", something the police do all the time.
Shells are spent bullets are loaded
When someone says "I need to put bullets in my gun", they mean ammo or cartridges. The bullet is the projectile that leaves the gun. But when someone calls a shotgun shell a bullet, I'm like "what?"
HEY, GUESS WHAT!!!!Words mean things! It doesn't matter who can shoot what. That's not an excuse for ANYONE to abandon correct terminology. The two subjects are unrelated.
Dude... it's slang... or humor... which you clearly are missing here
I can't take what she says seriously. As soon as she called the shotgun shells "bullets" my mind went from learning a new drill, to being too bothered to care.
I see your very close minded
They are not bullets they are shot shells. Very irritating.
Don't have a clue what your trying to convey to viewers in this one.
"Shotgun tips with Gil Ash", and it's his wife. I'm not one to knee jerk on the sexism argument, but clearly this is a partnership and she got slighted on this one
Go woke go broke... smh... please stop.
Sounds to me like that woman does not know what she is on about.
