An updated version of the classic "D. Lee Braun: Fundamentals of Trapshooting" video....Well done guys!

[@aasocks]

This is the best video you’ve ever done. Quick informative guidance. Very nice.

[@traptalk27]

Wow, thanks!

[@aasocks]

There aren’t a lot of trap shooting instructional videos that are readily available. There are DVD’s out there and there are clinics to pay for but, your average younger person wants something like this. Quick, to the point, and right in front of their face. I know it takes time and being compensated would be ideal but this is it. If we can get pros like you guys to keep this sort of thing going it will greatly impact the younger trap shooter or someone who knows nothing about American Trap.

[@BrianPampalone]

Excellent video boys!!! I’ve been searching for the last 2 days for a videos similar to this from either one of you guys. No cigar but today I look and here it is. You gentlemen are top of the line. Great podcast keep it going!!!!!!!!!!

[@RVNow]

Great video guys! Looking forward to seeing more videos.

[@traptalk27]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@CharlesRega-x7d]

Love everyone of your shows and like you boys, Ricky you know me by me calling you about O/U barrel for my HT. See you guys in Tucson in February. God bless you both

[@chadvinatieri6725]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your hold points it is always interesting to see what works for some of the best shooters

[@traptalk27]

Thanks for watching!

[@nicholasbitsios8988]

Good video guys . If you planing to do more shooting videos, how about a shotkam ? Very informative at the post but down range we are in the “dark”. A picture is worth a thousand words ! Nonetheless my favorite podcast ,keep up the good work!!

[@traptalk27]

YES! It will be the Shot Tracker!

[@nicholasbitsios8988]

👍,even better !!

[@enoughyoutube9723]

I’d like to see more Shot Tracker video.

[@matthewhuff7765]

Very nice video iv been shooting trap for 6 months now about 75 birds a week and just competed for the first time in the cool weather classic in sparta IL shot an 87 in singles and a 88 in handicap at the 20 day 1 and another 88 in handicap day 2.

[@randallkadish5663]

Beautiful guns. Love the wood!!!!!

[@parashooting]

I appreciate the insight into stance. You’d think as a wheelchair user it doesn’t matter but I have to work twice as hard on my chair positioning to be effective. Hope to shoot with you guys soon!

[@rjjr7733]

Great video Gentleman! I like the informative videos the best.

[@traptalk27]

Thanks 👍

[@georgecaouette7866]

This video was very helpful plz do one like this for doubles

[@hammerdown9]

Nice work! I’d be curious to know how much you guys tweak your custom stock compared to the factory stock. Grip and toe-out changes seem pretty common, but I’m interested in hearing about other changes.

[@traptalk27]

We will get out some content for it.

[@curttundra]

Great video. Always a good time watching how the top pro's shoot. It would be good to see this while using a shotkam so we can get a better idea on where you hold for how long, move to the target and what your actual sight picture looks like when you pull the trigger. I use a shotkam a lot when I practice and find it amazingly helpful seeing hold points , gun movement and best for seeing sight picture. Although I will say because of the excellent camera and editing work there is a ton of information in this video. I will watch it before going shooting, over and over. Thanks for sharing.

[@traptalk27]

We are on it!

[@jasonschlosser3398]

Great stuff gentlemen!

[@traptalk27]

Thank you kindly!

[@JillThickett]

Absolutely brilliant, top class

[@JillThickett]

The information Ricky and Zach shared really helped, especially the toes grabbing the floor! . How you use your body to , drive to the Target! And through it would be appreciated! Regards Jp

[@gyjr]

Very informative, liked it.

[@traptalk27]

Glad to hear!

[@philipcilano507]

Another great video 👍

[@traptalk27]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@randallkadish5663]

As shooters who hold on the house, when do you move your gun? On the flash? When the target becomes whole?

[@jamesyurky3048]

Question for Ricky, what’s up with the double thumb tab before calling for the target?

[@rogeliooliva9951]

Thanks again for the program.Please need some help if is possible.Question is sometimes I see blurred when put the gun on hold point.what do you guy think about it or if I should hold on tap of the house.please if is possible any suggestions is and be appreciated.thanks

[@traptalk27]

How hard are you pressing the gun to your cheek? Is this causing your eye to blur? If it is a hard focus area play with where you are looking out over the gun.

[@alkalantzis]

What's your reason for making a sound instead of just saying pull when calling for a bird?

[@traptalk27]

To not move the head off the gun when calling for the bird. If you move your mouth to pronounce letters like the P in pull in changes your connection on the stock.

[@enoughyoutube9723]

I agree. I call pull without the P.

[@d3bilitat3d57]

great video are you going to do one simliar to this but for doubles (feet positioning 1- 5)?

[@traptalk27]

We are planning on doing it in Vernal at the Western Grand with Sean Hawley!

[@Kevinonthefly]

Guys, great video as usual. How about covering how to get used to a new gun quicker? I’m fairly new to trap (4 years) and started with a Remington 1100 Sporting. I recently picked up an older Daly SBT and getting back to my previous average has been slower than I expected. What are your thoughts on focused practice methods to get used to a new or different gun more quickly? TIA!

[@traptalk27]

[@bgjb-r1499]

Z & R, I always hear stay at home, don’t move, wait until you see the bird and lastly don’t anticipate the pull. I think we can all agree that it is a fine line between waiting to see the bird and getting beat badly. When I get beat I’m forced to come in from behind ultimately making a 30+ yard shot. Is there something in between? For example, stay home but move on the flash instead of waiting to see a full clay? Thank you for your time. By the way your show is great!

You bet!

[@RobGreenside]

Ricky, and Zach------- whats the POI on your K-80's ?? I am curious how high your guns shoot. Great video guys- Thanks !!!!!!!!

[@traptalk27]

about 80/20 - 90/10

[@Mikey-g4g]

From the time you get a solid mount til the time you call pull is about 2 seconds. Your thoughts on that.

[@traptalk27]

Call for the bird when you are ready!

[@Mikey-g4g]

That really doesn’t answer the question. Are you waiting to get the barrel still? Can you elaborate on what is “ready “

[@btjrussell]

What chokes are you two using? Great Content!

[@traptalk27]

Any choke as long as it is FULL

[@thomasdaum1927]

What choke do you recommend for ( singles ) when you break the bird at 35 yds from the muzzle ? Thanks. Btw what’s your favorite shot size for singles , shot size for HDCP ?

[@traptalk27]

Full Full Full FULL 8's or 7.5's work just fine Most commonly using 8s for singles and 7.5 for handicap.

[@thomasdaum1927]

@@traptalk27 Thanks !……

[@blueglide1]

What are you shooting for loads? I like factory 3 dram,1 1/8 8s 1200 fps.I shoot them up front and for handicap.

[@traptalk27]

Ricky - 1250fps (1 1/8) 7.5 Fiocchi White Rhino Zach - 1235 fps (1 1/8) 7.5 Nitro 27s Remington Shoot what is working for you!

[@JohnGrit]

I know you guys have talked about holding on the house, but I have been too different clubs where the trap houses all look different in height. Then what do you do? Or all Trap houses supposed to be a certain height.

[@traptalk27]

Tall or short hold on the house. Ricky never changes it no matter how tall the house is.

[@dankruger2890]

that helped a lot

[@CaptainSolo124]

Hi guys cool video

[@stevej7344]

What POI set up do you guys use ?👍

[@traptalk27]

80/20

[@stevej7344]

@@traptalk27 thank you that’s the same I use on my trap special 😉👍💥💥

[@mantiscity]

I also noticed that you keep the mic on the right if you. How come?

[@traptalk27]

Added to the Ask Us list!

[@randallkadish5663]

Why does holding slightly inside, like Zach, promote a whippy gun swing?

[@traptalk27]

For some shooters they feel the hard angles beats them and they throw the gun at it.

[@mantiscity]

How about if your left handed?

[@traptalk27]

Reverse everything you just saw.

[@OliverjamesYO]

Absolutely loving these videos! Just for clarification: when yall say front of the house. You mean this open side as in the farthest away? On post 2 Ricky says he holds on the back corner inside a little. I always assumed from the podcast he holds right on the front of the house. But it’s actually inside the house. Am I correct?

[@traptalk27]

Yep you got it on both counts!

[@timothybruggeman9332]

Guys, FFS, it's KREEG-hoff, not KRAIG-off.

[@enoughyoutube9723]

Better eyes than me. I can’t see the gun moving.
