- Do you struggle to know how much lead to give a crow? Or maybe just curious to know how I shoot crows?
Then hopefully you will enjoy this video!
I talk a bit about what targets I see over the decoys and how I go about shooting them. The video includes real life examples of my techniques and leads given on different targets.
It's a bit different from the normal videos I post but hopefully you will enjoy this and maybe it will help some of you get more crows in the bag.
Please Like and Comment, I'd like to know if the video was useful and whether you'd like to see some more content like this 👍
Hot Barrels,
Rob.
Great video mate! For me, I know when I first got into Crows, I was coming from Clay shooting. It took me a good day or so to understand that I was actually over leading the birds, and I think this is a common mistake for Clay shooters who get a permission to shoot crows. Ive told mates since, if you're missing, just shorten the lead. For anything closer than 25 yards and slow, put it on the beak and keep the gun moving.... Great videos budd, I love catching up with what your up to!
Thank you bud! I know exactly what you mean, I’ve shot a lot of clays in the past and find that I shoot crows best with swing through. Helps me not to over lead them 👍 Glad your enjoying the channel bud
Some great pointers. Thanks Rob. Keep them coming. I was rooting for you at the rally clays.
Thanks Dan! I’ll do my best 👍 oh good man! I was pretty happy with runner up! Josh Brown is an incredible shot and a great guy so I wasn’t unhappy 😁😁
keep up the great work mate , its allways nice to learn about crows lead, cheers
Thanks Tony! Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate the feed back 👍
Enjoyed your video on lead. Old retired hunter from central United States. 😊😊😊
Great stuff Rob.I've learned alot from watching your videos.Keep them coming
Great to see another variation Rob! The calculation of size of gap vs size of bird is a really good analogy and you're absolutely right that there is more time than we often think. Thanks for posting👍👍
Thanks Mark!!! 😁👍👍
Always nice to see videos that are a little bit more in-depth and certainly very helpful to the new shooters good job speedy 😊
Thanks buddy! That’s what I was hoping, if one new or inexperienced shooter can learn a couple of things I’m happy 😃 👍

Great tutorial.When I used to shoot I had no problems with birds, useless at bunnies. Never did crack it!
Thanks Nick! I know what you mean about the ‘pesky rabbits’!
Very Great ! Nice how you explain your misses on semi Autos

Interesting video!
Yes,make more matey,very informative.
Good man! Thank you. I’ll try and do more 😁
Very interesting , you never stop learning. Keep it up
Thank you Jon, glad you liked it 👍
It’s not easy to describe lead, I think you did it well without waffling, I always struggle switching from crows to pigeons or vice versa
It was harder than I thought to explain haha but thank you, I tried my best to explain it. I know the feeling, they are a hard transition 👍
Awesome video Rob! Very clear and relevant info that has made me realise I am giving them waaaaay too much lead. I have only been shooting for 6 months so this will hopefully change the way I'm shooting and stop a bad habit being formed. Thanks so much for passing on your knowledge and please do more of these if you find the time. Oh and more hushy videos as they are brilliant 😜😂 Cheers, Jamie
This is so good to hear Jamie! Really glad it was of use to you 👌 I’ll be sure to do more and I’ll try and get out with the hushy again soon 😁😁
Very interesting, experience is the best thing to learn from👍
Thank you! Really appreciate the nice comment 👍
Only found your channel a week or so ago. Took me 10 minutes to work out where I knew the face from😅. Absolutely loving the content. Please keep it coming. Ash
🤣🤣 Thanks Ash! I’ve got a face for radio most people tell me 😄 I’ll do my best bud!
Great 👍🏻
👍👍
Good video and easy to follow advice
Great news! Glad to hear this thank you
A great vidio very helpfull cheers
I've been shooting better this season than I ever have. Part of it is I have gone hunting a lot. But the other part is I've really tried to figure out how I missed when I miss. I have found that most of my misses are because I wasn't on line. I use almost identical methods as you just described. You explained it very well. Good video.
Thanks very good information 😢✅
Love the videos all the time. I'd like to hear more regarding Choke Selction and Shot Size.
Really appreciate that thank you! 😁 I’ll explain more on chokes and cartridges for sure 👍
Fantastic 👍
👍👍
Yes carry on m8 brilliant video
Good man! Thank you! I’ll do my best 😁
YOU ARE RIGHT ON IN YOUR LINE ADVICE --SHOOTING SKEET WILL GIVE A SHOOTER THE CORRECT PROCESS IN DEFINING A LINE FOR LEED BEFORE HUNTING GAME--ALSO YOUR ADVICE RE USING A SHOTCAM OR AN EQUIVALENT DEVICE IS WOTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD IN HELPING A SHOOTER ADDRESS THEIR PROBLEMS.
I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS--THANKS --DON.
Glad you enjoyed it Don. Thank you for the comment 👍
That's a brilliant idea, to share your knowledge, because every day is a school day, which will help someone somewhere 🤓
Exactly that John!! 👌
That was very helpful
Glad to hear it! Thank you 👍
Another good one I shoot a loot of corvids / crows a very well explained video
Thanks bud! Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed it 😁
Very informative video. Thanks a lot!
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you! 🙏
very useful thank you
Thank you!! 🙏
Tutorial is class. No decoys here. But this video has definitely helped
I think I’ll start pushing my shots out with my .410 hush power, some of those shots were very impressive. Great video
They will certainly to the damage if we put the lead in the right place David. It amazed me 👍
Yes let's see more tutorials- especially lead shots
Thank you for the comment! I’ll show more 👍
good tips there, thanks
Thank you Graham! Glad you enjoyed it and that it was useful 👍
Really good video and very informative
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Just keep on doing what you're doing 😉👍
Cheers Nigel! Will do 😃👍
Keep the good work up
Thank you John!! 👍
Great vid. Gonna get out the weekend see if ive learnt anything. I really struggle going from shooting clays (where i hit 80%) to pigeons/crows (hitting1in3shots) have found shotcam a huge help tho as can see what im doing wrong.
Thank you! I hope you had a good trip out! The ShotKam has certainly helped me out a lot over the last few years. Great bit of kit 👍
Great video thanks
Thank you!
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👍👍
Great video I think you should do more maybe do a series turning someone who’s a novice into a confident shooter 🤷♂️👍
That’s a great idea! I’ll see what I can do 😃 thank you
Thanks so helpful and plain English
Thank you Alan! Much appreciated 👍👍
well done mate good video.
Thank you Nigel! Much appreciated 👍
Good vid 👍
Cheers bud!! 👍
Great content, Rob keep it up. Perhaps you should do one on pigeons and then pheasants.
Thank you Ian! 👍 I’m planning a pheasant one so hope you will enjoy it 😁
Well done Rob get back on the hushy.👍
Thanks bud! I’ll try and get out with it again soon 😁😁
So hard to explain lead, its a game of knowledge/ feeling... driven targets a "bit easier" , but crows are hard. You are spot on, letting them move so the line is straight. But its hard to comprihend, you need to shoot thousands of shots, before it really makes sence. Thankyou for taking the time to try to explain!!
It is really hard to explain Martin. Experience means a lot and hopefully this will help some people. Thank you for your comment 👍
Keep it up
Thank you!! 👍
As someone waiting for licence issue I enjoy watching the shot cam slow motion footage
Good vid! Thanks Speed!
Fantastic news! Thank you for watching 😁
After shooting sporting clays all summer.. I tend to overlead them on opening day.. takes a few shots to get zeroed back in.. 😬👍
It is very easily done! I have found the same 👍👍
👋 in new to this i level the army on Saturday and I’m going to live field to fork so witch best gun to get shotgun or rifles? I’ll be tacking rabbits birds deer’s and help will do thank u 🙏 best video I’ve seen.
I would say a rifle is best 👍 good luck with your future hunts
Like this type of video‼️
🤔How much lead, or crow lengths at different distances?
Thanks Duncan! Glad you liked it 👍 that’s not a bad idea! 👌
Like the video of the shotkam on lead missed a few today 😂. How about decoying pattern's for crow's. Used steel 4shot 32g Gamebore with quad seal 👍with muller decoy choke 40 yard's
Awesome bud! I can do a vid on decoy patterns sometime soon for sure 👍 steel has certainly got a lot better, very effective over decoys for sure 💥
@@fieldsportswithspeed tested Bioammo Blue 5shot 28g with Muller passing on pattern 👌 💙 put a hole through 1/4 inch chip board with the wad at 35yards going to do 1 at 45 yard's. Was going to use them around building, think 🤔 the wad could be a problem 🤔
Great info here. Be great if you slow the replay further, you can actually see the shot heading towards the target.
Thank you! I’ll certainly give this a try 👍👍
Hi Rob, Marcus from holland again , very interesting video about how much lead on the crows. You state: line is the key , i agree with you , very important , but in my opinion the reason that most average talented gameshots miss game or vermin like black is that they do not see lead, ( read : no awareness of where the barrel is in relation to bird they shoot at )
I do not know if you shoot instictively ( read : shoot without aware of where the barrel is when you pull the trigger ) or that you see lead.
They say everybody sees lead different , i agree with that but the biggest problem with gameshooters is that they shoot instictevly ( sorry for my poor english ) although they do not have the talent to do so. I can make the reaction much longer but i leave with this as the matter is to complicated to make a complete story in a few words , as a gameshooter instructor in Holland i am about to laungh a video on TH-cam i made with a client about this subject, the problem for you will be that it is Dutch spoken so you will probably not know what i am talking about, but if you are still interested to see the video's in the future i can send you the link as soon it is available , bye for now
Hi Marcus, thank you for the nice comment. I agree with you. There are so many factors to consider and barrel awareness is so important. I shoot many different techniques depending on the target but always aware of my barrel because like I have said to many, ‘if you don’t know where the barrel is, how do you know the shot is going where you think’..
Would love to see the video, please send the link. 👍👍
Hi Rob, Marcus again , thank's for the quick reply, good to read that you agree with me that barrel awareness, in our opinion, is the key to good shooting. As soon as the video's i have made with my friend are posted on youtube i will send you the link.
A very interesting video about this matter: instinctive shooting versus shooting with barrel awareness has just been posted by TGS called :instinctive shooting 101! with Ed solomons, i am anxious to hear from you what you think of that video, although Ed completely agree's with us, if you look at the video's of him with clients he does not teach this methed to his clients very weird, i would love to ask him why, do you know personally ?
Bye for now, and we keep in touch
@@fieldsportswithspeed
Do you stay seated when shooting from the hide Rob?
I do some times but if I have time to stand I will as I prefer shooting stood up 👍
What gopro are u using
It is the GoPro 11 👍
Good video. But perceived lead depends on pull away (as in your video), maintained lead, or swing through.
The more videos the better - all most enjoyable.
Why not do one experimenting on clays with different methods?
Thank you! I will get a clay one planned for sure 👍👍
I assume you're using lead shot. Most of that has been banned in Canada.
I think 32g of lead should be sufficient for crows :D
Absolutely 32g and 34g absolutely rinse them! Recoil is the only issue when my back isn’t good
@@fieldsportswithspeed Use a semiauto then?
Another excellent video & my only point of difference would be the bit about being a visual learner. This is part of the Visual Auditory & Kinaesthetic (VAK) or Learning Styles theory, which sadly has 40 years of very serious research which shows it fails to meet the threshold as being an evidence-backed pedagogy (the method, and practice, of teaching & learning). While many people including teachers believe in VAK it's akin to homeopathy compared to evidence-based medicine. A good way to explain this would be that if a viewer was a 'visual learner' you wouldn't need to have any voice-over or explanation of lead, line and the other factors you cover. Equally if you were an 'auditory learner' you could just have the voice-over and nothing else and you'd learn as much (actually you wouldn't). That's not to say vision is not part of most learning, but teaching (which you are actually doing) is a complex mix of several things even in a video like this. To make it even more confusing BASC's Shotgun coaches course is based on the VAK model and their course when I did it was accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority. While the SQA did this several years, I seriously doubt it's something they would do now. In 2016 when I did the BASC course I asked a friend who is probably the foremost educationalist in Scotland (of his generation) and his reply was, "Learning styles as interpreted by your course manager do NOT play a core part of learning in Scotland, or anywhere else that values what really matters in the classroom". Sorry to be pedantic, but your videos are excellent as were your explanations about line, lead, the benefits of Shotkam, however using the VAK model to explain teaching and learning is as outdated as the use of smoke enemas to treat cholera (yes it really occurred and was used as an alternative to opium).
Thank you for the explanation Richard 👍 Hopefully it will help a few people. I’m certainly no tutor but tried my best to explain how I shoot 😁 Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the comment
