Any shot that is taken below the shoulder level, has a tendency to be missed over the top of the target. As the target is attempted, the shooter will rotate with the target, as it drops towards the ground. Due to this, the shooter misses the target over the top. This clip shows you how to adjust your shooting to a more consistent break for a dropping target.

Coach, I want to thank you as my mentor and teacher. I won HOA and Sporting Clays Team Champions @ Scott Robertson's Elmfork Summer League in Dallas Texas. Your methods work!

Chris, I had a interesting challenge this past Fathers Day weekend. Shooting 5 stand, the target was maybe 4 - 5ft high straight at you. I kept shooting over the target. I will use this suggestion on targets below the shoulders. I tried shooting straight at it with no lead and it ate my lunch to say the least. Thank you Sir for the training.

Do you have to use special lead free shot shooting into water like that?

[@PanamaSticks]

Are you using steel shot?

[@NitroTheCat]

I wonder if this guy still alive

[@TheConfederate1863]

Why?

[@tinman0Z]

yeh the water splashed

[@alistairsunderland841]

Who uses steel shot on clay target! he's using lead.

[@MrHipppo2]

a lot of areas in cali require steel even for the target ranges :/

[@silvermediastudio]

Because it's in water, the concern is that waterfowl will swallow the lead pellets (and then that lead gets into the food chain), and the lead can leach into the ground water over time (including nearby drinking wells). Wasn't so much of a concern a decade or two ago but recently the impacts have been studied and quantified. If your shot is going to land in water, use steel. It's smart and responsible to conserve our natural resources and hunting grounds for generations that follow.

In the Netherlands its even forbidden to shoot with lead……..🥲
