I missed you yesterday my hot water heater went up so I replaced it so I had a mess of water to clean up and install a new one then I was not watching this show .now I'm catching up thanks for all you do Ben
Thanks for the excellent explanation and chart on shooting methods. I have never thought about methods in a chart form. Thanks again. Be safe. Great videos, Ben.
Hi Ben, thank you for this excellent video. Question: do you choose between pull away and swing through based on the speed of the clay? I can imagine that you use swing through on high speed clays and for the rest you use pull away?
Very silly and novice question. On the pull away method, do you fire at the first movement of pull way or once you feel you have the correct lead? Same for swing though. Are you catching the bird, firing once covered up and continuing the follow through?
Cheers Ben that made perfect sense look forward to more information any chance of doing a vid on game shooting would be very interested to hear methods for that 👍
I'm an absolute beginner who is really struggling with ST and PA, but am hitting shots with ML. Your table confused me a little, can you explain why you don't get speed from ML? Surely by seeing that your lead is consistent across the swing, you have confirmation that your barrel matches the speed of the bird?
Hi Ben. I have a question regarding why PA or ST gives the line of shoot. Yes, in croosers or towers but in a curved clay I don't see it being 100% the time. Thank you very much
Best explanation I've ever had... and for free :) Concerning maintained lead, why it does not give a speed? If we see clay is not moving relatively to the gun, then the speed of clay is equal to the speed of the gun. I am not trying to say maintained lead is better... Reading the line IS a really hard...er than other things.
Yes. But I can add more lead to compensate that... Probably... Plus pattern size makes some room for error... But thing this error is almost mandatory, which again puts maintained lead to the bottom of the list.
I was saying this to myself again and again, already thought I was nut. I need to change the coach... change the coach... Now watching this I feel much better😊
As always a very good explanation from Ben, but regardless of that I disagree (shooting all three methods). If you shoot maintained correctly, it is the most unrushed method which slows the whole picture down. I don't see why the clay and the gun are not going the same speed, when you execute it right. When the line is easy on crossers, it is my method of choice. If the lines are more complicated, or a quartering clay requires a very small amount of lead, ST or PA are my choice. BTW: No skeet completion on international level will be won with ST or PA. I think it is an advantage if you can shoot ML correctly.
@@hb950322 it’s the reason no one at the top ever use it to a world championship level Skeet maintained is the best method but the the worst for sporting
OK, I'm not in a position to argue with a world champion and shooting instructor. A shooter I know recently scored 183 hits at Dornsberg, making him the best German shooter, while you scored three more with 186 hits. He shoots a lot with sustained lead, which probably cost him those 3 hits 😅
Brilliant, yet simply explained. I wish I could take a lesson with him in person.
Missed yesterday,this has now become part of my lockdown routine.....cup of tea and a morning watch
I have never heard it explained to me where it makes such perfect sense. I can’t believe this is free..
He dont cover it in bullshit, just says it as it is, and makes a complex subject easy for EVERYBODY to understand.
Simply & greatly well explained for beginners... Thanks for sharing your skills Ben 👍
enjoying the lessons, can't wait to put it all in action, stay safe everyone
Flawless logic and simply brilliant explanation. Thank you for making this vid. All the best Tim
Ben tell us about skeet, what methods you use there

Excellent and clear explanation my coach and mentor. I am really enjoying your sessions.

@@robertvaningen9519 all lead related swing through has the fastest gun but it’s the slowest method

Gaining a lot of knowledge from this Ben. Thanks again for sharing.
Excellent explanation
Very helpful. Makes absolutely sense. Totally logical.

Unfortunately not
Thanks.Quality insight once again for free.Hope might progress into game shooting at some stage or is its the same format.

Cheers Ben great vids. Could you please do some vids on fitness - warmups, strength training at all.
Hi Ben excellent videos any tips on reading the targets
🙏🙏🙏
