Hold Points For Trap - Clay Target Shooting Techniques: #25 Go Shooting

[@SeattleGiantsBB]

Excellent video Russell. This is the first time I have ever heard anyone talk about their being different hold points for one eyed shooters vs two eyed. I’m 73 and have been shooting trap since I was 10. I am going to start practicing using your hold point information. Thanks again!! Terry

[@GoShooting]

Hope it helps Terry. Good luck

This is the single most useful video on trap shooting I have seen . After 45 years of shooting I have shot myself loose and had to have a titanium right shoulder fitted , this changed everything , I purchased a Beretta 400 xcel semi auto to reduce recoil and as my right shoulder had dropped I had to learn it all over again , I was averaging 20/25 . After watching this a few times I have changed my hold etc to follow Russell's advise and after 3 weeks I am now averaging 24/25 Thanks Russell

[@GoShooting]

Thanks Dunc we are glad it has helped

Now that’s a dedicated clay target shooter! Cheers from 🇨🇦

Amazing video! I find myself to keep going back over and over to watch the video to reinforce the hold points. Using this method, I've improved my score by two birds and more importantly, I shoot a lot more consistently!!! I used to break anywhere from 18-24 birds with an avg of 20-21 and now I'm consistently breaking 22-23, I think the rest of it is practice and in my head. THANK YOU!

shhhhhh, don't tell anyone.

My instructor recommended me to see your channel! Thank you for nice job! ;)

[@GoShooting]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@robertpeugh7479]

Really like your videos. Thanks for the coaching. Tried trap for first time today. 17 of 25 then tried skeet, didn't do as well, only 13 of 25.

[@GoShooting]

Nice work!

[@archieanderson2945]

great video now I know my mistakes.

[@vtv8man]

Love to your videos. Any chance you could do a video series on the skeet hold points for each station ?

[@GoShooting]

All done mate

[@thomasdestry5188]

🎉Thank you so much‼️

[@GoShooting]

You are so welcome

[@timothybruggeman9332]

Good stuff. You could have been an engineer. I can follow those hold points for my ATA shooting for stations 1, 2, and 3 (though at 3 I hold just a smidge right of center.) For stations 4 and 5 I find I must hold further right in order to catch up to the hard right-hand targets. Of course, that makes the hard left targets from those two stations more challenging.

[@jerrychiu7]

can you do a video on hold point for Olympic trap? Thanks!

[@rogeliooliva9951]

Another question do you think keep my eye away from the barrel to a x point or keep soft focus at the end of barrel,please let me know if you could.thanks again for your help and your channel

[@GoShooting]

If it’s trap your shooting your soft focus needs to be in the target acquisition area not at the end of your barrel

[@rogeliooliva9951]

@@GoShooting thanks I got it my eyes need to be away from the barrel, thanks again appreciate it

[@randallkadish5663]

Do you adjust your hold and look points when there is low lighting? thanks.

[@GoShooting]

It’s a good question. In low light you react slower so a slightly higher hold is beneficial

[@pravinsalunkhe3147]

Can you make a video on Double Trap Shooting ... ? Thankyou 😊

[@GoShooting]

It is hard to even find a club that throws Double Trap any more I am sorry

[@randallkadish5663]

New to trap. Shot a lot of skeet. I wear a narrow, 1/4 inch piece of translucent tape over my lens. The narrow width allows me to use peripheral vision. Therefore, do you think I might be able to hold above the house?

[@GoShooting]

Do you wear the tape over your lens because your master eye is opposite to the side you shoulder your shotgun to?

[@randallkadish5663]

@@GoShooting yes.

[@randallkadish5663]

@@GoShooting I meant, I am left eye dominant, So I shoot left handed, though a natural righty

[@GoShooting]

@@randallkadish5663 so why do you have anything taped over your right lens?

[@randallkadish5663]

@@GoShooting for skeet john Shima put a wide piece of tape. It didn't work, so I put a narrow piece of tape so I still had perpetual vision. I have been shooting that way ever since. Recent studies have shown that eye dominance can temporarily shift during an activity like skeet, especially in older cross- dominant folks when their eyes get tired. No unusual in skeet for folks too shoot 3 good rounds then always struggle on the fourth round because of eye dominance shift and an apparent change of leads.

[@ABdou.Nasifazaz]

Hiii.when I shoot I put my gun over.but I want to ask my eyes better to look under the barrel when I say pool or high

[@Ottomannkahuna]

Which better underground trap house or over the ground?

[@GoShooting]

Over if you are using two eyes, on the line if you are forced to use one,

[@mefirst5427]

Should I catch the disc on the rise or fall? I got zero out of 25 if catching on the rise, scored 18 out of 25 catching on the fall.

[@GoShooting]

You are a future Olympic Champion

[@fossari]

I shoot competition in DTL however I have a weak point and this is the left going targets if I am on post 1 do you have any advice what could be wrong. I'm right-handed and I'm fairly over the gun.

[@GoShooting]

Are you using one or two eyes? I would you suggest you “open” your stance on stations 1 & 2 also. Have a look at our basic stances for Trap video as a starting point.

[@fossari]

@@GoShooting Hi Mark, I use both eyes. I force myself on position 1 and 2 to be almost straight ahead to anticipate a fast left coming. In the other positions I have less of the problem. Last month I had silver at the dtl match in France and I have also shot bronze. My weakness remains the left one on position 1 and position 2

[@joelcostela8915]

Bonjour Pouvez-vous me dire pour la DTL si c'est bien de sortir de la caisse au poste 1 et au poste 5 Que pensez-vous du tir à l'interception Merci

[@GoShooting]

Sorry. Not sure what you mean?

[@rexrally7387]

When you are at the hold point, Where the bead has to be, below or in the center of soft vision? I like a little below to better see the trajectory of the target

[@craigbielsky115]

once you become familiar with the trap house and break points you wont need to......it will become automatic muscle memory.

[@GoShooting]

Its roughly in the middle, but your vision really isn't a circular shape. Its a 3 dimensional cone

[@2rbeefarm244]

Putting a small piece of tape on your left lens so that you don’t see a shadow barrel at the hold point for a right eyed dominant shooter, does that make you a one eyed or two eyed shooter?

[@GoShooting]

Definitely a one eyed shooter

[@joelcostela8915]

Good morning I mean high score Station 1 pointing to the left of the cash register 80cm Station 2 and 3 and 4 shift and station 5 1 m to the right of the cash register
