Skeet Shooting Tips - Station 1 - by ShotKam

In this video, you'll get instructions and tips for shooting at a skeet station, specifically station 1 with both high house and low house targets. The instructions include details on the shooter's stance, hold-point, head position, and timing for taking the shot. Read more:
For the high house:
1. Position your hips facing the low house window.
2. Visualize your hold-point right in the hoop over the center stake.
3. Tilt your head back slightly to maintain clear focus on the target early.
4. Minimal gun movement is required, so don't start with your gun too high.
5. Call for the bird, then pull the trigger as the target line merges with your hold-point.
6. Allow the clay target to come to you and maintain a good follow-through after the shot.
For the low house:
1. Keep your feet and hips facing the low house window.
2. The hold-point for this target is about 10 feet out and level with the bottom of the window.
3. Focus over the gun and toward the house.
4. Break the target consistently over or just after the center stake.
5. Smoothly move up to the target line and don't rush the shot.
For the double on station 1:
1. Set up as you did for the high house, with a hold-point above the center stake and head just off the gun.
2. Transition your eyes over the barrel after breaking the high house and focus on the incoming clay.
3. Send the shot once you're on the target line without riding the bird.

These are nicely done and clear instruction videos. Thank you

The best demo , I want to see shots from the station’s 🇺🇸👏💈

[@kasperchristensen8416]

Clear and to the point.

[@vicco55]

Excellent videos. Very high quality of instruction, a true rarity among many of the other videos. Thank you.

[@doghound1959]

I am hoping you will be covering each shooting station? The best and most visually simple skeet tips I have seen. I won't be able to move to station 2 now until I have seen the next video!

[@Shotkam]

Wow, thanks so much for your encouragement. Station 2 will be released next Thursday at 4pm EST. You can sign up for the emails here 👉 promotions.privy.com/campaigns/470803 or Subscribe to our KZbin Channel to be notified. Station 2 high house is typically the hardest clay for right handed shooters, so it's a pretty in-depth video next week :).

[@RobRoy007]

Outstanding video everything that you showed is exactly correct. It's a great video for beginners!

good tips. thanks.

[@Shotkam]

Woohoo, thanks for the comment. Station 2 will be released this Thursday at 4pm. It's one of the most in-depth lessons because so many right handed shooters struggle with the high house. Hope you enjoy it!

Will hip and foot placement be the same for a left hand shooter? Or would one stand on the other side of the box?

[@shannaheckler1933]

I did something very similar, new plans from Avasva helped me with this.

[@OMENAHILLOKFGHT]

nice

[@alibaba-hd7sr]

good

[@gargar6621]

Will you be doing all the other stations as well.?.your skeet range is set up alot better than where we shoot not sure if they ever put the hoop up to align the clays

[@Shotkam]

We are based in Florida and shoot at South Florida Shooting Club. It's a beautiful club where the sun always shines 🌞. We'll be releasing a new station every Thursday and you can sign up here: promotions.privy.com/campaigns/470803 It's a 5-week series on stations 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7.

[@MKhan-dx2gm]

Plz do same videos for olympic skeet as well

[@Shotkam]

That would be really cool to see. We'll have to find a range nearby to film them. Great input, thanks so much. Hope you are enjoying this skeet series :).

Great tips, subscribed. What do you mean by "don't ride the bird"?

[@mattd6264]

he means continuing to lead the bird with the gun for a prolonged period of time. he is trying to reinforce the break point. it's also not a good practice to ride birds because they're falling so you'll have to swing your gun both leftwards and downwards (in the case of low 1) and because you lose your "hard focus" which is key to being (focussed) *on* the bird. humans don't have the ability to focus hard on a moving object for prolonged periods of time. in my experience i'm more successful at breaking the target when i don't wait so long to break it because my hard focus is good only for a second or two after i pick up the bird.

[@groksr]

Who do you think the best setup is over-under?

[@kenreece4328]

What about left handers? Is the setup the same for your feet / hips at each station?

[@leffphield]

I believe so.

[@stumbler93]

Is he shooting w/both eyes open, or using only one eye focused on the front site/bead on the barrel? Lots of vids on here insisting that you should use both eyes and not even look at or see the barrel, the middle sight and/or sight bead on the muzzle..? My son is 11yrs and just starting to shoot shotguns and I want to train him with the correct and most successful method..any pointers or suggestions are much appreciated...

[@Shotkam]

Thank you for your comment, these are great questions. We recommend that you should keep both eyes open the whole time and not look at the bead of the gun at all. In fact, a lot of our shotguns here have the beads cut off so that it removes the temptation to "aim" while shooting. As you will see, you should always have both eyes focused on the clay, then your brain will naturally put the correct "forward allowance" (lead) on the clay. Skeet is a great place for your son to start. He should truly watch our skeet series to see how far in front of clays he needs to shoot, because pellets go much more slowly than you think. I hope this helps and I think it's great that you're starting to train him in the sport - that's exactly what we hope for. Best regards, Emily Stewart

There is another way to shoot station 1 low house that involves much less gun movement on singles and simplifies breaking the low house on doubles -- again, with much less gun movement on the low house.

[@georgebanker2669]

And that way is?

[@ThePedanek]

show that with bugshot

[@erikwilson7622]

Wrong on High one. While most people do this with almost no movement, you really want to move to the bird, and FOLLOW THROUGH, emphasize on on follow through, by doing so, it moves the sight picture below the incoming low bird, and makes the low house shot on doubles much easier.

[@lancastergerard]

Starting high and following you run the risk of the bird getting below the barrel. If you shoot with correct timing you get high house just before they cross and have all day on the slow low house coming in. Todd bender skeet fundamentals

Hi Andrea, thank you so much for your comment. We are based out of the USA, so we are not very familiar with how to acquire a hunting license in the UK. Below you will find a link we found telling you how to get your hunting license in the UK. I hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you.

2:39 don't ride the what? and what does that mean don't ride the "blank"

[@Shotkam]

Hi Taylor, thank you for your comment. "Don't ride the bird" means don't stay following the clay too long with a hard mount. You should take the shot within a half second of a hard mount so you don't focus on the barrel and to try to aim/measure the lead. I hope this helps!

Can I have laser point for my shot gun if so where can I get one

[@Shotkam]

Thank you for your comment. Yes, Bore Sight Lasers are available to purchase on Amazon. I hope this helps!

[@villekoikkalainen7940]

Got to ask, why does the guy in the video have the gun shouldered? The point of skeet is to shoulder it once the bird is moving so a lot of these tips will be useless

[@Shotkam]

In American Skeet, you can start with the gun shouldered, whereas in international skeet (olympic) you cannot. For American, you start with a "soft mount" which means your head is off the gun and it's not fully mounted into your shoulder. Once you start moving on the line of the target, then you hard mount with head on the gun and fully shouldered. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@KashTheStampede]

I don't understand why you're always saying 'don't ride the bird'. On any stations with doubles, I'll ride the single of the second pair bird in order to better simulate the double shot.

[@Shotkam]

We do want to break the singles in the same place as the doubles, you're exactly right. By saying "don't ride the bird," David is trying to convey that the shooter should avoid having the gun mounted into his/her cheek for too long. The shooter should shoot within half-a-second of having the gun in their face, otherwise the temptation is to measure the lead and/or look at your barrel which will slow down the swing. Do you agree?

[@KashTheStampede]

Ahh, I've not thought of that. I've always established a cheek weld as part of my gun mount. I'll have to try that. I agree that shifting focus away from the clay onto the barrel will slow the swing.
