[@dale5898]

Ten thousand thumbs up Russel!

[@sandyhodgson8814]

Hi Russell loved this video , I’ve been missing my left hand target on one and two and have always struggled with them so I have been playing round with my feet position the last couple shoots ,watching this has given me the confidence that I have now got it right ( I’m a LFH Shooter)

Glad it helped Sandy. The stance we advocate for both Trap and Skeet provides a good starting template to the basic fundamentals. Don't be afraid to tinker with it a little to provide the most effective outcome for your technique. Good luck with it.

You guys are great keep up the good work I have been shooting for a long time and I have learned a few things from you guys and shot 100 straight one week end and 99 the second weekend it feels great 👍

Fantastic explanation.

[@GoShooting]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chrishansen1126]

You guys do a good job of explaining things. So many videos on clay shooting miss so much information its not useful to me.

[@GoShooting]

Thanks Chris. Glad to hear you enjoyed them

[@timeverett7828]

Magnificent!

What are the open and the square stances? I guess "open" means your toes are pointing parallelly to the barrel and "square" means perpendicular to the barrel.

[@GoShooting]

Correct. Open means your body is shaped more front on and square means it is shaped more side on

[@xiaominsong]

@@GoShooting Thank you for the clarification!

[@randallkadish5663]

What about when shooting bunker trap?

[@GoShooting]

We have made two videos on this topic Randall

[@antsahysse3271]

Have you same step all the time if you shoot olympic trap because you have a 3 throwers in all places ? is the position at 1 o`clock all the time ?

[@GoShooting]

approx 1 and 2 o'clock on every station

[@timothybruggeman9332]

ATA Rules require that you have at least one foot on the center line of the station. It's technically against the rules to stand on one side or the other of the concrete pad. From the ATA rule book: "The contestant must stand with at least one foot on an imaginary line drawn through the center of the trap and continuing through the center of the post, or have one foot on each side of the line." Not sure about DTL.

[@GoShooting]

In DTL your feet (as per the video) must both be in the square. Where you stand inside your one metre square. This is also the rule in any ISSF event
