Skeet Shooting Tips - Station 6 - by ShotKam

Station 6 low house is one of the two most difficult shots on a skeet field, so David Stewart (ShotKam inventor - super cool facts about him below 👇🧐) presents tips on how to avoid becoming muzzle aware.
Fun fact: David began his engineering career by developing the laser crosshair system that was used in General Schwarzkopt's CNN presentation seen here to blow up a bridge: • Luckiest Man in Iraq(P... . In 2009, he patented the laser alignment system in the ShotKam.
ShotKam Gen 3 is a waterproof, lightweight, and durable video camera that mounts to your barrel. Designed as a training tool, the movements of your gun are revealed by the crosshair in the video (X in the middle).

Love the videos. They are very helpful. It would be nice to see them from a LH shooters perspective.

[@twobarrells]

Have to say, outstanding graphics in an easy to understand format. The shotcam helps knit it all together and the explanation during the demo is outstanding. Well done guys thank you a big help.

[@aidank2]

Always Great help with Shotkam I recently Bought the Gen 4 looking forward to getting some practice on skeet this coming year 👍

[@tlalexander3]

Love these videos! Just started shooting skeet last week with my 20 gauge mossberg 500. I had never shot a shotgun before this, and I had purchased the 20 gauge to learn on. I hit about 5 my first round and about 15 my second round. I went back today with an IC in instead of the modified choke and did a little better. I still hit about 15 clays (I need someone to count for me because I get too in the moment lol) both rounds. However, this time I only chipped maybe 2 overall. All the others I was dead on. I learned from my grandfather I was missing behind on the shots that I missed. I really just need to get the feel for swinging through after I shoot. It just seems if I think about it while I'm up there I'll miss, but if I just let it come naturally I do very well. I'm going to try a 12 gauge wingmaster my dad gave me next time. After I get a little time in, I plan on purchasing a Franchi Affinity 12 gauge 28 inch barrel

I followed these tutorials and significantly improved my results. The tips here made a great difference for me on the skeet field

[@mikegoebel6228]

All of these videos are excellent. Waiting on stations 3,5, 7 and 8.

[@Shotkam]

This is so encouraging, thank you. We are producing every Trap station now, then are going to return to Skeet Station 3, 5, and 8. If you would like to get emails about all our training videos, please feel free to sign up here 👉 s.privy.com/1u18RrU

In skeet doubles both targets cross the center point at the same time. You should break the first target before it reaches the center point.

[@richardfuller4223]

Great videos for visualizing leads, smooth gun movement and follow through

[@orgesrama5070]

Excellent explanation! Just what I needed to hear.

[@Shotkam]

Thank you so much for your kind comment and feedback 😃 We really appreciate it!

[@richardwillcox3571]

I'll try this tomorrow morning excellent coaching BTW

[@jgalliher9]

If you break the low house bird at the center stake on the pair, the high house bird is also at the center stake. You need to break the low house about 2/3 of the way to the center stake (about 20’ short of it) or you’ll never get the second bird.

[@woodshop6631]

Good job, thank you.

[@ecoutside]

Excellent video and editing, gonna put these tips to the test this week!

[@joefox8272]

Thank you very very much!! You helped me much better than everabody before...

[@Shotkam]

What a great comment to get, this made my day. Thanks so much Joe for watching. Subscribed to our KZbin channel because we're starting a new series in a few weeks :).

[@954mmorgado]

Can't wait for the rest of series! Just went shooting today and I am having trouble with station 6 and 7

[@Shotkam]

Thank you for the comment! Station 7 will be coming out next Thursday :). If you would like to get emails about all our training videos, please feel free to sign up here 👉 s.privy.com/1u18RrU. Have a great weekend 🌞.

[@mlguzman75]

Awesome, can't wait for the rest, I will be using these when I hit the range next weekend.

[@tomlagatol4448]

These skeet vids are great!....I’m thinking something similar with the upland game and water fowl with regard to getting on target/lead and shot distance....Thans

[@steveavant9727]

I just got shotkam4 and have identified some problem areas. I’ve been struggling with the high house shots and the video has shown that I accelerate the gun and increase the lead just as I shoot, which is in front of the target. If diminishing lead shows focusing on the barrel, what does increasing lead indicate, other than lack of discipline?

[@ashrafmahadeen2721]

Thank you

[@gargar6621]

Hi guy's, looking forward to trying these techniques out, normally have trouble with the low house, I'm shooting way past the centre post. Fingers crossed.😉😉

[@Shotkam]

You got 25/25 last time, so I know you're a great shot. Can't wait to hear an update :).

[@gargar6621]

Sorry guy's didn't get to shoot this weekend, my club had a sport trap competition & took ovef the skeet range's.

[@Shotkam]

Hopefully it will be you in the trap competitions in a few months once we produce the trap video series :). Have a great week and keep us posted! - Emily

[@edm467]

great video

[@bradenmontgomery8476]

For beginner shooters holding the gun at right angles to the target for station 6 ( or bringing the gun too far back to the low house ) is not a good idea as the target will get in front of the barrel most times. Then the shooter has to move the gun faster than the target to get the barrel past the bird which is not sustained lead...better to hold the gun further out, NOT TOO MUCH MORE, and focus the eyes back towards the trap a little and this will keep the barrel in front of the bird at all times...the target will seem slower and less angle by the time it is shot so makes for less movement of the barrel so less chance for error..

[@fred8174]

For the doubles, how would taking the high first, where the pattern would be larger at that distance?

[@jgalliher9]

Fred Rules require that you shoot the low house first on the Paarl.

[@fred8174]

@@jgalliher9 thanks

[@maxdipaolo5451]

This video are fantastic How about it Olympic trench??

[@carllove3705]

So the Shotkam doesn't stop recording with the recoil? I am asking because of the doubles in skeet. How does that work? I bought one and tomorrow will be my first day using it.

[@Shotkam]

Hi Carl, thanks for your recent order! The ShotKam saves any two shots that are taken within 5 seconds of each other onto the same video. All true and report pairs are saved on the same video. If interested, here's what it technically is doing: It has a memory buffer (known as RAM- Random Access Memory) that is filtering video anytime the ShotKam is ON. Once it feels a recoil, the processor takes times out of the RAM, then stitches it together with live video. It then continues recording until a few seconds after the last recoil, then slows that section of video down into one-third speed and saves it onto the memory. For the user, it means you don't need to worry about turning the camera ON/OFF. The (patented) technology knows to save each recoil :) Hope this help!

[@peteppp3480]

Gun hold on low six is too far back that clay will get away from you try bringing it out another 4ft......

[@richardmcree6992]

Older shooters will need to have old points and some look points further out than you suggest here. Wait until you get to 70+. :)

[@Shotkam]

Zander is the shooter in these videos (David's 18-yr old son), and you are exactly right about adjusting depending on reaction time. Zander can shoot the clays before we even see them! What is your average score?

[@richardmcree6992]

ShotKam mid 90’s, at 74 years old.

[@Shotkam]

That is a great score for anybody! You will have to let us know if you get your first 100/100 after watching these videos 😉💯. We will celebrate big time.

[@davabran]

i went clean station 6 2 times switching to this setup

[@Shotkam]

This is awesome! Thank you so much for your feedback. Station 7 will be released tomorrow (Thursday), so hopefully that video will help too (unless you already run the station). Station 7 low house is pretty simple, but I really like the technique that we'll describe. It's similar to the Station 1 high house with verrrrrry little gun movement. Thanks again!

[@guybowman2543]

Feet on six low I go on the top right corner because you only shoot the left wing off

[@Shotkam]

First rule of shooting: Stick with whatever technique is working for you. Or as they say, "Don't fix what ain't broke." So if that setup is working, then that is awesome for people to hear too.

[@richardmcree6992]

Would you like for me to demo one in Va?

[@MrWidowmaker182]

Is there a 3 and 5♥♥♥

[@Shotkam]

Hi Alan, not yet, but we are definitely going to produce the remaining three stations (3, 5, and 8). Please subscribe to our KZbin channel to be notified of all new training videos. Thanks so much for watching!

[@carmineromano1945]

ottimo p s sono un appassionato del trap

[@hermit6208]

I am not knowledgeable in this area, but that guy's foot placement bothers me. Feet seem too close together for good body rotation

[@Shotkam]

This is a good comment because it does feel a little awkward to stand that way at first. It's a good stance, however, because it forces you to keep an even weight distribution. A wider (perhaps more common "athletic stance") forces too much weight onto the front foot 👣. Hope this helps :).

[@erikwilson7622]

learn to shoot upright as in the video is key. You see lots of, what I call, aggressive stances, feet wide apart, physical, crouched, and really into the gun. Problem is, this is tiring, and after several rounds you start breaking down and wonder why you are missing the target. Upright, feet closer together, actually gets you moving sideways faster and more fluid.
