Hi Roger, i was listening to your tutorial and my mind went back to the late 70's/early 80's when i was a member of my county team for DTL. I concur with everything you say, it's spot on in my book. This video will serve a youngster (or not so youngster) who wants to get the basics correct first time. Well done mate. all the best from the UK. Neil.
I shoot with a muzzleloader sxs 12 bore. I sorted out how much lead to give by picking up the bird on the center bead and move over to the end of either barrel (left or right depending on the flight) in front of the bird and fire. The width of the barrel gives me the right amount of lead. Works every time.
Roger, I learn a lot from your videos . Great advise in all. The cross shots really give me trouble but am bound and determined to improve. Keep the videos coming!
i m a french shooter who leave in reunion island (indian ocean near madagascar the french hawai:)) and i folow your advise (see bird shoot bird) i was a hunter 16 years old to 21 years old now i'm 43 . my first serie on DTL (after more 20 years with out shoot and after 3 serie of 15 targets ) was 21/25 59 pts because of your videos thanks so much roger
Hello Roger, I shared with you that I got my first 25 clean last weekend at the Michigan State Shoot. I am anxious to go back out on our home course this coming Thursday and see if I can progress some more. I have been watching as many of your videos as I can fit in. My wife thinks you are my new hero, which may be true. Your videos are the common man‘s viewpoint that I find easy to relate to and disgest into to my limited knowledge. The video I just watched “Lead” and it was about as frank as it gets. I have viewed countless videos regarding the mythical “Lead” and I really could not connect the dots. Your diagram settled that and I took a picture of it and I put in my wallet. I will let you know how I do this week. They will be shooting my hat because at our club here in the States, that is what they do when you get your first 25 clean. So I am going to lose my prize hat but I have entered into new air and looking forward to busting 50 clean. Thank you again for your time and wonderful basic down to earth segments. See the bird, Shoot the bird. If it flies, it dies. Sincerely Rick Mansberger Durand Michigan Sportsman Club. USA
I’m pretty spot on with any left right, straight up, but I can seem to shoot a bird coming straight for me. Somehow my brain doesn’t know how to lead that way. The good part is when I miss a straight on shot, the bird move left or right, and my second shot is good.
Michael... I wish I could be of more help...sounds to me like you can shoot...so it's what I say in the videos..."see bird shoot bird" do not think just go with it and shoot...thanks for watching ...much appreciated...stay well and happy shooting !!!
Thanks for video.when I need more lead on a down the line target do I look at where I’m going to shoot the clay or keep my eyes on the clay?Thanks Ernie
Gun clubs closed down for a few months earlier in the year...we have very few cases of the virus so things are pretty good ...but i hear that there are lots of cases in Europe...hopefully the vaccine will help.
hi Roger I'm new to shooting clays about 7 months now the problem I'm having is with my second clay first 1 usually not a problem secondly I usually miss any suggestions would be appreciated thank you Paul
Paul...generally the cause of missing with the second shot is that we lift our head off the stock...we need to "stay in the gun" until the second shot is fired......the clay is continually dropping and so we need to shoot a little lower than the first shot...sometimes we lift our head off the stock to see if we've broken the clay....a good practice method is to fire at a broken piece of the target to ensure that we "stay in the gun"...hope this helps...stay well...Roger
you should not be black and blue...mount the gun in the hollow that forms when you have your elbow parallel with the ground...stay well and happy shooting!!!
@@rogerpace9322 I found the problem it was my glasses the rim on my glasses was getting in my line of sight so I had to hold the gun a lil bit on my arm I got new ones no more bruising

Always keep your eyes on the clay and only the clay...good luck and happy shooting!!!
How is the situation at your country ? Here in Germany most shooting areas are closed because of corona ....
Gun clubs closed down for a few months earlier in the year...we have very few cases of the virus so things are pretty good ...but i hear that there are lots of cases in Europe...hopefully the vaccine will help.
