Your ability to break clay targets is driven by eye and hand coordination. The eyes drive the hands and thus determine if you will break the target or not. Therefore, the more clearly you can see the target the more targets you will hit. This clip discusses how you can do just that.

Great advice. Unfortunately for me I have the wrong dominate eye so it's necessary for me to close my left eye to focus down the right side of the barrel.

[@markrichardson239]

Wow, that is so basic and overlooked.. Yes, even sitting here I agree my field of vision increases 30% as well as brightness. Amazing.

[@polomare2027]

Good advice!

[@assil110]

thank you Chris for your valuable advice. I have a problem to have a clear image when I aim both eyes open... does it improve with practice?

[@gundogsdirect]

great tip

[@tomblincoe]

your light gathering occurs only through the pupil in the centre of the iris so unless your lids are covering your iris this won't make any difference.

[@einfussganger]

Your absolutely right. Chris usually has great advice, but this nugget is pure hooey. Also, more light doesn't necessarily mean a better image. Imagine going from a dark room to bright sun and trying to take a shot while your pupils were still dilated.

Perfect

Hell, I'm still glad shotgun shells are still cheap enough and easily available enough to practice.

not anymore ...

Nearly every shooting video that I see on the net has the instructor showing the gun to the camera and saying "empty gun" they never bother to look to see if the gun is indeed empty themselves!

Ok Karens…

Hope to Christ he was using a tripod and no cameraman was looking down the end of both barrels.( @ 01:07 )...otherwise, so much for "always treat a gun as if it were loaded".
