- It's the stand that reduces champions to also-rans. However, the rat-in-a-pipe is not a 'lucky' target, says Ben Husthwaite. In the latest of his clay pigeon shooting masterclass series, champion shot Ben talks a shooter, Dave, through the process of shooting rats as they emerge.

This intro is the best for any hunting channel imo. I also really like the camera view you guys used to show how we should be shooting the trap.
Brilliant video and instruction Ben , nice one
Super tips! Thank you.
Great the way Ben breaks down the shot , excellent instruction from start to finish
Would this style of shooting be the same for shooting a teal at the peak ... rifle it? Good videos 👍
Ben, I fully agree that you say that rabbits can make or break a score. We have just shot the NZ Sporting Open in New Zealand and the variation on the rabbits probably cost me five targets out of 200. Usually I enjoy rabbits and would shoot 80% of them but the variation I saw was impossible to prepare for. Saying that though,it was a good shoot and my overall average improved on some very hard targets. I have watched your videos and enjoy them throughly and believe that they have seen my average increase 8-10 targets. Some stands I have cleared but have much more confidence in my approach to the targets now, judging the method of lead interpretation being important. I believe its improved scoring. I have entered the 2019 UK Master and FITASC Worlds so six months of practise will give me more confidence in the sport.Thanks.
Great instruction on rabbit IMHO 👍👍
So much truth on this tutorial BH will get you spot on. just start taking in his knowledge
you will break more clays ...
when he said “only” getting 70s I thought “I should be so lucky!”
Thank you, Ben! When you say to place the gun on the rabbit's back edge, are you aiming the bead of the gun at the rabbit's back legs when you shoot (behind the rabbit)? The video looks like your student is shooting in front of the rabbit when he shoots (the rabbits front legs).
This is what makes me not want to comp shoot. I love inconsistent targets! That's what makes it fun and exciting.
Hey guys love the channel. ..getting a bit tired of Ben H and Andy. ...cheers for all you do ...thanks terry
I like Ben, I like him a lot. I've been saying what he said about rabbit targets being unfair for years & years. In saying that though, I have seen a couple of very consistent rabbit layouts over the years but, most rabbit layouts are just shite. In competition, we all know that there will be slight differences within each presentation due to wind & etc however, the rabbit presentation can & usually does bring far too much chance when competition is serious.
Good vid
Does anyone know what type of mechanism is used to throw this gravity fed rabbit?
Cant mount before target is seen in Fitasc.
Did anyone notice, but at 6.30. ...he missed.....the whole clay rolled right on. when the gun went off , the crosshairs were about 10-12 inches in front. Glad to see someone advocating ...rifleing... rabbits. Best way with really slow clays. Amazing how many people find this very alien to do.
You are correct the rabbit rolls on, but It has a piece missing so it counts. The clay doesn't need to shatter to count.
Shoot behind the target to hit it!!!!
What kind of magic is this?
I love this range of vids. Thanks.
I agree; simple physics tells us we cannot hit a moving target by shooting behind it. The camera shows the shooter breaking the rabbit by shooting IN FRONT, so I don't know where the "shoot behind" advice gets its source. Also, at 6:30, what Ben calls a 'beautiful shot' shows me an unbroken target..
Larry Fry I saw exactly the same as you on both
@@G31mR , Yes Larry it may have a chip but I agree with you idid play this ove and over it did wobble a bit
@@G31mR He's talking relative to what that particular person sees
Larry Fry t
Can you tell us what kind of gun mounted camera your using please?
Shotkam
Thanks, keep up the nice video's!
Ever watch someone and think "I think I've found a new best friend!" how cool is Ben! The dude shoots in Flip flops! 👌 Would love a couple of hours shooting with him 👍
Just found out I only live a couple of miles from Ben! So come on Ben, how do you fancy a 100 birds over at kibby? Casual, no tuition expected!
Anytime
When will there be another james marchington video
James is hard at it making The Schools' Challenge series. / Charlie
Great Tips now to Shoot Some Real Rabbits 😀😎😊👍🏼
Good v good🌎
Cant agree more about rabbits either all on the ground or all jumping keepit fair for everyone
TOP DOG Real Wabbits jump when they please!
I agree though.. In competition they should have a consistent surface..
@@JETJOOBOY Thats my point. ..?.
Rabbits are inconsistent, deal with it. No different than the wind moving targets. I’ve seen targets move up, down, left, or right because of the wind.
The only way to make a rabbit throw the same for every shooter is to NOT throw a rabbit.
I dont understand why he sucks the earwax off of Ear pro
Can you tell me what chokes you would use for clays please Ben????
You'd use different chokes for different distance shots.
plenty of decent shots shoot with the same chokes for every target....
On his Instagram live he said 3/8 and 3/8
Modified for medium to far skeet for close like rabbits
@@orion7873 Why would you use different chokes for sporting...? Both should really be the same....
How much are lessons with this guy?
$$$$$$$$$$$
£75 an hour
Did he lick his ear plug 1:03? Lol
I cringed, haha
Ben does this all the time
All Formula-1 pilots do this to their earphones which also are their earplugs. Standard practice.
Pesky wabbits
Rabbits shouldn't jump.... WHAT????
At 6.56 the rabbit breaks before the shot is taken.
Rabbits can strike a rock and break without being hit by a shot. It happens.
@@G31mR Yea and better still when it gets marked as a hit
@@manofkentcatapultsgunsando5069 Yep, Iam sure I've picked up a couple of hits this way.
Why is he licking his ear pro?
This is objectively bad information regarding pattern size--even with a full choke, at 20m you are going to get a ~40cm pattern. It's not a "bullet"
Oh so a multiple world champ dont know what he's talking about.
compared to a full size pattern the lead spread at that range with the cartridge he is using is "like" shooting a bullet, he over emphasizing a point so as we realize how precise you have to be with the shot
You are a genius.
Absolute nonsense regarding consistency of targets , sporting shooting competitions are supposed to replicate hunting outdoors where weather, wild animals etc. are not predictable. The real skill in shooting is compensating for wind , differing movement of prey/ targets . maybe the chap coaching would like sporting clay shooting moved indoors and his rabbits running on tread mills.
I agree. Everyone gets the same unpredictability on rabbits. If someone wants 'predictability' in targets, play a video game instead. Targets that jump: that's why they call them "RABBITS"!! I suppose he wants to only shoot on calm days, so the wind doesn't affect his targets in "unpredictable" ways........
Guys, look at 6.56 the rabbits broken before the shot is taken, ive seen many a rabbit running away and jumping when ive been on point just about to shoot it, ive never had a real rabbit break up into bits on me before ive pulled the trigger though. now look at the video where he is interviewed about being called a cheat,now if your comment is to be taken seriously about this guy then you are not against what Ben is saying but every other person that says he bent the rules on one of the competitions he won, he even says in this video that if the rabbit is to jump it would be better if they have a jump for everyone to make competition fair play, hes talking about sports shooting guys, not the real thing, so as for replicating hunting that is a stretch of a comment too, in competition you would have 10 choices of where the clay was going to release from if this were hunting condition type shooting, you know so it was unpredictable like the real thing, its sports shooting, championship sports shooting and he is a multiple world champion
@@-UrbanSurvivor Couldent have said it better myself mate.
I totally agree, and the funny thing is when I shoot on a still day and there's consistency in and no variables in targets I miss!
First person out on the range has a clean rabbit. Last person out on the range has 1000 chipped clays and bullet holes to bounce over, for the entire run of the rabbit. How is that fair? Ben is right.
This guy is a great shot, just a shame he's a CHEATER and should be banned from ALL shotgun sports
You are very wrong!!! Did not cheat and it was proven. You should not put down on someone. Hook up with him and shoot against him.
