Station 8 can give a lot of people trouble. However, Station 8 targets can be easily broken by application of a very systematic technique. This clip shows you how to use the technique to see bird-shoot bird. The Station which, is located directly between the high and low houses, is shot as two single targets. C

Thanks this is great info,last night I shot two rounds of skeet the first round I shot a 16 and second I shot a 19,before my best was 17 and I'm 10 years old

[@crosstimbers2]

The best way to learn to hit the #8 High House bird is 1. Follow tips like this video 2. Do not try to learn this bird at the end of each skeet round. Instead take a full box of ammo to the station, turn your brain off and shoot by hand to eye coordination alone. As soon as the muzzle catches up to the bird pull the trigger. You will eventually hit the 3rd or 4th bird. Once you learn how that groove feels shoot 8 or 10 more and you will have it wired.

What a clear and helpful series of instructional videos ! Well done Chris, looking forward to trying Skeet at Bisley at Braidwood. Thanks

[@gracetrevino2368]

THANK YOU!!!! I am a left handed shooter and have been having trouble with my shooting. You have clarified MANY MANY angels and leads. I will continue to study your video on skeet to get out of my rut of shooting 22-23. I want my 25!!!!

[@ClayCoachOnline]

@ukdotcom In this video we are demonstrating American Skeet. So the gun is allowed to be pre-mounted. Hope this helps you with any confusion!

[@timgazes5909]

Great set of instructional videos, looking forward to putting them into practice.

[@rogerramjet7567]

Great if I were left handed 👎🤬😖😟

[@w6dfmp242]

I must be a bit of a slow learner, took me three years after watching this video to get that 25 straight. Came back because I'm still missing 8 on occasion, one of the things keeping me from my first 100 straight.

[@strartur]

That is the best advise for station 8, I have heard or seen, on KZbin, too. As a novice to clay pigeon shooting (700 rounds through in the last 4 weeks) I was struggling a bit with quick gun mounting and target acquisition. On slow and far away sporting targets both things worked fine. Spent today 3 boxes of shells at 2 yards behind station 8 (away from houses) following as precisely as I could this instruction. And it worked 👍. I wouldn't say it is foolproof, but he keeps it real simple. At the end I was hitting 6-8 targets in a row. Thanks, liked and subscribed.

[@jonesrepnash]

Great tips. Can't wait to go back to the club and try them out. Thanks again!

[@aidank2]

Excellant,As a Skeet shooter who is getting back into it after a period of rest due to operations ,this was a Great help in reminding me how to successfully shoot Skeet many Thanks

[@charlessmith4242]

* What you want to do is to start your gun barrel out away from the trap opening at a level as close to, but not obstructing, the path or flight of the target. If you hold to close to the opening the target will get a jump on you. If you hold to far out from the opening you'll have to bring your gun barrel back in line with the path of the target. I think it's a mistake to look directly into the trap house opening. Most eyes will only be able to pick up the target once that target has emerged from that dark opening. At that point you want to be able to start to move your gun barrel with the target. Don't get ahead of the target, but come from a little behind, and take the shot as you cover the target. To important things to remember, keep that barrel moving, and do not lift your head off of the stock.

Just joined a gun club that has skeet, trap etc... never played them before in my life and I don’t know anyone who has. These videos have been very helpful. Thank you.

[@bgfarms9794]

These are great videos. My son and his eat friend are shooting more skeet. I taught my some when he was 13. I’ve sent them these videos to study and help them learn better!! Thank you so much!

[@DuncanRogers67]

On 8 high you aim in the bottom right of the window and on 8 low you aim in the bottom left in the window I have no idea what this guy was smoking when he made this video

[@Bstone3272]

Yes, this is Amercian skeet but international you start low gun.

[@ssvman100]

Hi Chris, Great Instructions and help. I've gone from shooting Pre-mounted Skeet to Sporting Clays Un-mounted and my scores have improved dramatically.....Thanks for your great Instructions:)

[@davidrquinones]

Thank you Chris. I am shooting so much better. From low teens to mid 20's. Still working on the 25 hits.

[@lensecapimaging-sportsvide1681]

Fantastic Stuff! Your instruction is so simple its genius. Thanks for this.

[@AndyUrtu2]

Thank you Chris. I have just started shooting skeet and you have helped me greatly!

[@ALASKAFARI]

Most help I've seen on UTUBE... Thanks :)

[@biv200]

The best skeet instruction online. Thanks

[@1valg]

Premount = Useless.

[@Elkblood01]

Yeah but this isn't SCTP or AIM or anything like that is how normal skeet shooting is besides, he didn't have any shells in the gun and it was an O/U where it's very easy to tell if the gun is safe or not when the breach is opened...

[@NoneYaBidness762]

Before I started shooting low gun, I held right in the window. Worked well. I may try it your way to see if it’s better for me. Also left handed by the way.

[@alanbrudenell4918]

Being left handed my bogie station was always station 6 if I was going to miss one now I know why! And I first shot a straight 25 back in the late 80s

[@bpekhoul]

Thanks for the tips. Just wonder where is your look point? I tried it but the target always beats me. I thought I might not use correct look point. Thanks in advance.

[@thephotoyak]

I'm new to skeet. In 7 rounds before watching this video I only managed 2 clay breaks on station 8. I shot three rounds the other night and went 6 for 6 on eight!

[@tritontransport]

Station 8 is one of the easiest ones but people get over whelmed with it and hesitate too long . Pull point shoot

[@KTEESPOP]

Love it. Station 8 is one of my favorites. No time to think, just focus and react. I just watched all of your videos on each station and am looking forward to trying what you teach.

[@leehotspur9679]

Ive bought a new Semi LH gun Used your vids as a guide and have improved my shooting A very good Tutorial Thanks Mate

[@jordanberkhout87]

Watched all your videos the other night and put them into practice yesterday. For my second time shooting skeet managed to get a 10 and 13 out of 25 for the 2 sessions. Also managed to cop a piece of clay to the face from the high house spot 7. Split my nose open pretty good. Glad i was wearing glasses.

[@jeremymckinna6804]

I first saw this about five years ago went to the club and tried it and I started to understand it better two weeks later not kidding broke 50 straight

[@jeffreysonnentag4108]

Thanks for the on-line lessons, getting back in to the sport after 30 year away

[@josepha.cirullisr.1449]

What was the brand and size shot you were using. Thanks.

[@DAllan-lz3lg]

If you’ve shot 7 stations that’s 24, then station 8 is another 2 ?

[@tonyparrish5366]

This has really helped to get back into Skeet shooting, thank you.

[@xGHOSTHAWKx]

If it's that easy, why do they miss at the Olympics? Or is that different faster etc??

[@silvermediastudio]

Into the window. Pick up the target as soon as it becomes visible.

[@Trapshooter31]

Got slow pulled on that first low house. Great video!

[@Elkblood01]

This is American Skeet shooting, that's why it's Mounted,

[@rdekin1]

А чего он со вкладки то долбит? Этак любой сможет. Привет спортингистам:))

[@Elkblood01]

The look point is in the trap window

[@germanfernandezbravo2356]

tira muy bien ,pero encarado

[@sevenrats]

I hold lower than the window.

[@northernsky6117]

In Scandinavia we cant keep the gun ready in the trap position before we call for the bird in skeet. We have to keep the stock an the hip level.

[@charlessmith4242]

* That's the way skeet was originally shot by the Americans that invented the game to simulate actual hunting situation, but as they grew older they changed the rules. So, IMO, recording high scores became more important than how to properly mount their firearms. In the States we use to call this, perhaps they still do, " sissy skeet ". Low gun is the proper way to shoot skeet.

[@hermit6208]

Makes that look too easy.

[@19191919paul]

Great thanks

[@Redterra527]

Chris, Terrific video tutorial. One question: do you always shoot with the gun already mounted? I thought that was only done in trap.

[@johnnypaypay]

Good stuff, very helpful!
