World Champion Ben Husthwaite gives a clay pigeon shooting lesson

[@beeeeee77]

The BEST training and explanaton that I have ever seen so far. Thanks for your classes and clear explanations Ben!!! 👍👍👍👌👌👌

[@stevo32201]

A lot of thought going into the lessons/videos, always something different to think about. Practising weaknesses is something we all forget. The slo/mo really gives us the chance to analyse the shot. Thank you for all the effort you put in, its much appreciated Ben.

[@darrenlowry7477]

To get to learn from Ben has to be a terrific honor for his students. The amount of knowledge he gives is outstanding.

[@barryhill6482]

Really like how Ben incorporates the different Methods into the same birds. Great detail!

[@savsav6106]

Excellent idea of having people perform on the field. It is surely educational and although it is a blessing to the eye to see you shoot, :) for us average shooters the feedback we get is productive. Hope to see more videos soon.

[@payres48]

Useful video, would love to see a Shotkam on Ben's gun just to give and idea of leads. When are you coming to Australia Ben? Haha!

[@stevencollins8141]

I was thinking that myself, think it would really help to understand the different lead distances when changing from pull away to swing through. Thanks Ben another great vid.

[@harlley01]

Love the video, I’ve been shooting clays a few months coming from long range discipline to clays. Learned a lot from your videos thank you

[@steveharutunian5440]

Great lesson Ben and thanks for helping to push past my comfort zone on the different target presentations. Wish I had a coach such as yourself to keep me pushing to the next level. Stay well

[@allandobbs7059]

Very watchable ,like your laid back style of instruction .As others have said, a gun cam would be good ,to follow the lead /sight picture etc?Thanks👍

[@blockchong]

Again very useful bits in this. Sound quality is better than previous video but still miss one or two comments made. Flash targets were big help to see, could actually relationship between hand speed and target. Keep it up, BENNO, LIKE THE STANDARD you're taking these lessons to. Johnny Wang.

[@1valg]

Brilliant video! From 27:01 and on, the guy flics (or whatever its called) his fingers 17-18 times on the foreend before taking the shot. Is there a good reason why?

[@neilw4881]

It’s great to hear about the different methods used for different targets, it’s something we talk about amongst our shooting mates on a weekly basis. I’ve watched quite a lot of your video’s now & as you mention, you don’t normally favour maintained lead. If you ever get chance it would be very interesting to see you demonstrate why not on the shot cam & why an alternative method is proffered. ML is still widely taught by instructors for beginners so it would be great to get a proper explanation. Cracking instruction & thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍

[@indyarrowhead1]

Ben, I have watched this video several times. This is a fantastic leason for me but even more important I can feel the energy you guys have is solving these complex shots. So cool. Students breaking dwn the shots is awesome.

[@peterparas9152]

Great Video. Love the detail! Would love to see you come to The States!

[@dustinshank3419]

Is it just me or does any one else feel that they need to pay for this. Great job again Ben

[@cfcbeanz1122]

Mr. Shank shut up you idiot 😂😂😂😂

[@andrewbrewer1743]

Credit to Ben for giving back so much to sport...as a new shooter....learning a lot

[@bavariasuhl]

the whole swing through a) run with it and b) power through it, but both are a constant speed .. is hard to understand

[@joaquimborba4763]

Hello again from Portugal Ben... I' ve been watching your vídeos over and over..., back and forth...🙂, and i in some occasions i've noticed that you, ( in some specific situations ), when you mount your gun, sometimes you pull the trigger without having the stock anchored in your cheek bone... You do it intentionally ? Or you lift your head up in order to see the clay more clearly ? Thank you for your constant concern and fantastic informations. Joaquim Borja

[@dr.phil-federalinspector6023]

Would Love to come to Europe and shoot...but it's not in my budget for awhile...cause it costs so much to fly over...pel...Wichita, Kansas...USA...

[@williamcastleberry7338]

Why does everyone use a double barrel. I have yet to see anyone use a pump or auto shotgun?

[@anonymous6694]

Hi Ben, awesome videos mate. Do you think you'd be able to attach the shotkam for all shots in future videos?

[@davidmclean8423]

I’m just starting shooting now (funnily enough it’ll be at Kibworth). Insightful vid... but way ahead of me! Looks like I’ll be trawling the archives! Thanks for the knowledge sharing Ben

[@dreves3]

Great videos Ben. You’re making us all re-think old habits and get better. Would really appreciate if you’d add a ShotKam to help us see even more. Cheers!

[@nocknload5287]

Excellent instruction on methods and I really like the "Fix it" action. Great instructor. Thx for sharing BH.

[@jethrojackson9226]

Honestly one of the best videos I’ve watched for someone new to the sport watching the different techniques and how they make the shoot easy or harder has really made me think 👍👍 But boy you guys can shoot !!

[@andreashajiyianni7425]

Very nice video very nice lesson.ben's professionalism can be seen here!!!

[@amessad]

Watching a lesson from Ben exhibits perfectly how difficult clay shooting really is... when most people who are NOT in the sport think that you just move the gun around and pull the trigger.... I have seen so many people having "strong opinions" until they found themsleves in the peg with a shotgun in their hands....

[@d-rayphelps1630]

Brother that was fantastic!!! I enjoyed every single second, and I definitely learned a lot. Especially the way that you did this one involving your students and explaining everything in such awesome depth/detail. There's a popular saying in the US, Those who CAN'T, TEACH. That's definitely NOT the case with Big Ben!!!! Thanks for sharing your time and sharing this lesson with us. So valuable. So thank you again and may God bless you!!!!

[@Basstandsforbasic]

Your content is solid gold for a minnow like me mate. Any chance you have some good ideas for drills to do on a skeet layout? sometimes the only thing available to shoot during the week is skeet and trap around these parts...

[@mattstubbington8805]

Your videos of instruction and advice are awesome, I've been watching many of the videos, put into practice many of things I've learnt... for a long time I just couldn't get past a low 35x100... now.... after watching your videos I'm atm at best of 73x100... working towards now first 100 straight..many thanks 👍👍

[@dankruger2890]

Ben's a good coach

[@tonymaltese202]

Awesome videos improve my sporting clays anywhere from 3 to 5 birds per outing

[@mikedupree832]

Great Lesson, and your comment to use your PC instead of a phone, magic. At full screen you can see most of the targets. Maybe a colored target would be easier for viewer to pickup. And some of your targets coming from left I caught on to them by watching your moves. Most likely they are blocked because camera operator is standing to your right. great lesson biggest problem as a viewer is spotting the clay. A speck on screen gets me confused. Any more lesson like this with lottery for method to shoot.

[@TheMoodyedge]

Great video 👍

[@tonymaltese202]

Awesome videos and explanations improved my sporting clays anywhere from 3 to 5 birds

[@martynf65uk]

What a great idea to force the wrong type of method, what a great lesson, learnt a lot. Slow mo's really helpful

[@temporaryaccount1039]

Dear ben really great to see one of the very best become one of the very best instructors i have heard 30yrs i could have slapped some . you a big lad would get a hug fantastic job . Have told my 14 and 12yr old that this is how to learn cos there old dad is . See you soon at kibworth will give you a call Andy.

[@lh8372]

Great video

[@khaleelazan8903]

Another super lesson. Instructions were more audible and the slow motion is a big plus. Watching it on a bigger screen makes a big difference. Also the target selection gave us a chance to see the different methods executed. Invaluable stuff.

[@orejamx]

No savia que tenia un canal. Desde que lo vi subiendo videos cortos me encanta este hombre. Aqui tienes otro seguidor 🥰

[@simonbennett223]

Another really good video. Your earlier stuff had good content but the footage and sound not always so good. The quality of picture and sound together with the slow motion now is good quality and together with the content makes for an excellent watch. Thanks very much Ben.

[@DAvidAugustine1]

Thanks Ben for great video lesson, I'm a first time clay shooter here in Florida. Next week I'm going for a one on one lesson but i will be watching your videos as well to get more insight of all the shooting techniques. I'm felling more in love with clay shooting also I'm a golfer as well Haha!!

[@julianclarke7178]

Great, enjoyable and informative Ben. Thanks for sharing, stay safe. Jules, Droitwich.

[@colinjohnston5465]

Really enjoying these films. One reason I like watching you shoot is with the economy of movement and studying form and consistency of approach for each shot. It is the consistency that hits home, Thanks.

[@TMFShooting]

Great Lesson 💯 Thank you Ben 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@tony7610]

Can someone tell me where I can order/buy prescription shooting glasses

[@keithhaynes8079]

A lot for me to learn @ 75 but I will try thank you again Ben look forward to next video take care.

[@simonwilson6386]

Brilliant…really enjoyed that, well explained👍🏻

[@delhogg5380]

Fantastic again Ben!!!i will definitely need to get some time with you once you can venture into Scotland again.

[@skeetman22]

Ben, who makes that vest you are wearing? Thanks

[@teaghanandgreggtayler722]

Some really great information! Brilliant to review the mistakes that happened and to see them get corrected in the next shot! Spot on!

[@jac2275]

You make It simple for us. Thanks

[@robertstorm6993]

Ben several things. Absolutely love your training methods. The way you explain the methodology has changed the way I shoot already. I've ordered the eye-D and can't wait to try it, eye dominance has changed as I'm in glasses now. Your training website, will there be a way to pay for that in US dollars?? I want to subscribe and would rather not pay the additional C/C fees to pay it in pounds.. Finally, thank you! Literally the little I've caught of your videos on fieldsports tv and now your channel has changed my shooting enjoyment immensely!!

[@benhusthwaite9884]

RObert STorm just pay the one off fee for the year sir

[@08stupot]

Great video , been watching alot on my phone but so much better on a big tv.

[@wayne59]

Could hear everything this time. Very enjoyable and very interesting. Slow motion great.

[@khaleelazan8903]

It is great for us viewers to see you explain and shoot the targets. Please continue that format.

[@chadnolte9134]

Very very good lesson as usual. Slow motion really helps to see the methods being applied. Question: If I heard it correctly, the visual lead changed when the method changes. If the target needs a certain amount of lead how does the lead change with different methods? Or is it perceived lead based on the shooter’s visual perspective with each method? Thanks Ben.

[@stevem4038]

If it is at the same kill point it is gun speed that affects the perceived lead needed. Different gun speed used for each method.

[@chadnolte9134]

Steve M, thank you for the reply. Your answer is to the point of my question. Gun speed changes the “perceived” lead picture. ST is one speed, PA is two speed, which includes speeding up gun speed to the correct lead. Faster gun speed and the trigger pull reaction time give a smaller perceived lead. Am I correct?

[@stevem4038]

Chad Nolte, if the gun speed matches the speed of the clay the lead needed (MT) is the forward allowance needed to compensate for the time it takes to pull the trigger and for the shot to leave the gun and connect with the clay. Ben's slo mo demonstrates the time this takes really well. With both ST and PA methods

[@stevem4038]

Sorry didn't finish... with the ST and PA methods the gun is travelling faster than the clay, all time opening the gap between gun and clay so the perceived lead needs to be less. Otherwise you will be shooting out in front.

[@chadnolte9134]

Steve: We are on the same page. I agree with your information. Thank you. So in the video when Ben asked, “did you visual lead change?” He is referring to their perceived lead as their methods change.

[@AHL77777]

Another brilliant watch Ben. Just wondering and maybe it’s exaggerated on the video but is Tony swinging the gun away from his face at the end of each move? The speeds and finish look very different to when you/Brent shoot the same bird?

[@teddylong6950]

Are Tony and Brent using eye dominance rail on there guns

[@dlapsch9105]

fek your good at teaching...

[@topintam]

Thanks to making channel big B ! Keep going

[@carlhazelton1077]

Great video -Thanks

[@grahamking2239]

[@lawrencekatz5804]

Ben, I was one of your students at Trail Glades Range/Sporting Clays decades ago. As you will recall they closed the facility and it has never re-opened in any form even though we had public funding. I have been watching your videos and really enjoy each one. Congratulations on all your wins and the method of instructing. All the best

[@kidyanot]

Thank you Ben, drills to practice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️video. Draw a card to force a change ✔️.

[@buckshotaaa]

Ben, was you shooting all the birds with #8 through a modified choke? Even the long crosser looked convincingly killed.
