Yesss!! These series are the BEST on YT. Nothing beats them

[@julesc5924]

That's helarious, never imagined trying swinging the opposite way to shoot a target 😂😂😂😂 Ed rocks as an instructor!!!

[@darellkettley6622]

Meet Ed at the game fair this year what a true gent that can get away with wearing pink trousers!! 🤣great watch Johnny!!👊

[@ddoherty5956]

Of course he can get away with it, he could shoot me with a shotgun at a range I couldn't hit him with a rifle no way anyone's questioning his dress sense 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@the45er]

I just "discovered" Ed Solomons recently here on YT. By far the best instructor as far as clear, concise and accurate explanations of the many nuances of shotgun shooting.

[@jameswilson6717]

2 of the best on KZbin at the moment.All the best 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@theclayshooter]

ED is tops! Watched the lot 10x over

[@ddoherty5956]

Ed has got the best office in the world 🙂

[@CraigK80]

Top vid again from the JC and Solomons! Thanks again for all your hard work making this vids, helping us all rethink how we do things. Cheers chaps

[@redduc9523]

As always love the Solomons tutorials! Reverse swing for the win!!

[@tgsoutdoors]

I can see you rocking it

[@redduc9523]

@@tgsoutdoors it’s my go to method, I’m wondering why it took you guys so long

[@mattwright2964]

Great video and excellent instruction. I hate to say this but 80% of instructors I've used were very poor at explaining all this. They talked about lead but could not answer any questions about what it meant. This guy did. I would suggest what instructors need to do is follow what Ed did. Get people to deliberately shoot different ways, explaining what they are doing, so they can begin to construct a mental model about the lead and sight picture.

[@guy1234484]

Excellent from Ed and Johnny as ever!

[@DFox-ud3gx]

The Best instructor on the planet mates

[@nealfangmann6088]

Nice video guys. Need more like this!

[@christaylor5291]

Absolutely fantastic these little videos. Would love to meet Johnny, ed and team! I’ve stopped listening to people about what lead is on a target. To many variables. Everybody sees targets differently like you have said! Followed you peeps for last five years. Very entertaining and such great advice. I am on a club shoot weekend in the Cotswolds in a couple of weeks time will be thinking a lot more how I approach targets in the stand. Ps both my barrels are 3/8 chokes to take out mind games. Most I would ever step up to is 1/2. Keep up the good work!

[@biagiocozza8875]

That was a fantastic clay shooting lesson, thank you Jonny.

[@esoxinator968]

Awsome video I put tape on glasses and added a mid bead to my gun last night shot my best 3 rounds of skeet today I always have fun but today I felt like I'm getting this

[@fullchoke01]

I like using negative lead and pushing through on most targets- so relying more on gun speed vs lead, i find on low fast crossers you have no time to work out lead at all, it's one of the most personal sports what works for one feels foreign to another

[@jimmarcham6271]

Reverse swing ... 🤣 Fantastic, you guys knock it out the park every time 👏

[@danhill6333]

Need to go out and think about this on the ones that have been giving me problems. Unfortunately that's a bit more than usual. 🤪 Can you cover Aimbush on another episode? 😉

[@danhill6333]

And thank you for the video.

[@oscarsundin5252]

Good video as always 👍🤟

[@barryhill6482]

Great shooting. That new Longhorn is beautiful by the way!

[@jameswagstaff8640]

Really enjoying the sports psychology and biomechanics of this to help improve my shooting! So much to think about this weekend! My biggest problem is not knowing where I am missing and I think I am a fairly instinctive shooter - Doh

[@danieldoyle8442]

My scores have improved, confidence gained. and a new found knowledge of good shot, just missed. Thank You best wishes although you won't need them.

[@Chefsteveowen]

Great video, cleared up a lot of my assumptions 👍

[@user-yu3dm3xv7y]

Top video once again Ed. 👌

[@dale_ch]

Nice vid guys - very informative Ed and Jonny (except the opposite swing 🤣🤣) 👍👍💯

[@keithhickam2548]

Interesting video gives one something to use in shooting clays.

[@chadnolte9134]

Great tutorial. I always find them interesting. I personally prefer maintained lead on any crossing target. Once I see the target slow or almost stop, I send the shot. Also my hold point is much closer to the breakpoint. Little movement without dragging the barrel with the target.

[@michaelplank8966]

So with a woodcock you are instinctive theres no lead theres no time

[@ShotawayFilms]

I second Ed Rocks 👍.Trying to curb Jonny's ''golf '' swing cannot have been easy 😈.Be good to see the native shot on camera Sach...

[@ArjunYadav-yj9vy]

Informative video

[@B4UERo]

Entertaining as always lads 👏🏼 also…where did Ed get that jumper, I want it!

[@grampysays]

love the video love the music better at the end, Vikings.!

[@theclayshooter]

You should make base level and upwards, a group invite to shoots!

[@hammyh1165]

Have to say that reverse swing could really be used to mess up a fellow competitors head before they shoot 😂

[@paulwilson7234]

Could this be classed as an Ed Solomons mind game?

[@tgsoutdoors]

😂

[@ddoherty5956]

Can't imagine being left handed and having the skill to teach right-handers. 👍

[@tomjoseph1444]

You know that we are all going to go out and try that reverse thing now. LOL

[@teggy689]

The Ed lessons are great! Is there one that explains sight picture in the vertical plane? I still have no idea what you mean by "flat shooting" or "seeing a lot of rib".... basically it would be great to see what your eyes see, the shotcam is fantastic for lead but I don't fully understand how high my eye should be on the comb.

[@tgsoutdoors]

We filmed that a few weeks back - should be out at the end of September 😊

[@teggy689]

@@tgsoutdoors Perfect timing!

[@ddoherty5956]

I live in Lincolnshire, and despite the number of corn fields we have, I can say without fear of contradiction Ed has the most magnificent stubble in the county, the kind you have to burn to remove.🤭🤭🤭

[@davesimm]

Would be interesting to see a video on how to choose your method for the different types of targets, and in particular how that might change based on direction of travel. Ie, for me personally (as i shoot left eye closed) anything coming left to right is harder than right to left, as i can't see the target until it's passed me. Rabbits being a prime example.

[@tgsoutdoors]

If you see a bit more rib, that might be less of a problem

[@amessad]

Ed Shootipedia Solomon!!!! you watch one of his vids and you spent 80% of the time saying .... yeahhh yeahhh exactly! oh yesssss.... :)

[@moz7677]

explain the two triggers for someone who has never shot a shotgun, explain cartridge choice for game intended ?

[@pim1234]

I always wait for the target and choose my position in front of it

[@robinstacpoole2667]

I think I heard Ed say distance does not matter so much. Hmmm. Shouldn't a clay at 30m need double the lead at 60m? In the same way that a clay at 40mph needs double the lead of a clay at 20mph. (BTW loving being british and mixing m and miles in the sam paragraph and it sounding perfectly all right). I am not sure I was understanding his point here, can anyone explain it to me?

[@STTrout]

Swaintained lead "patent pending"

[@carmenhyzy5669]

What brand of glasses are you guys wearing in the video?

[@edlyonssportsvision9197]

They’re Edwards Eyewear titanium shooting sunnies 😎

[@HameedBee]

find it weird plus funny on the technique side of things George Digweed 5 times world champ teaches us a great way of shooting a technique that is sound for every target where you don't see any lead its coming from behind the bird pull your trigger on the front edge and boom watch em break. everything else is just confusion

[@nigelmuir3363]

Feet and inches is personal , Not much some and a lot , both eyes open one shut ? Focusing on the target or referencing the end of the gun , right muzzle speed or wrong muzzle speed ?

[@John-uo1qf]

Faster gun speed will spread the shot over a larger horizontal distance than a slower speed

[@K80Ed]

Not true

[@user-strelba]

Еще бы понимать о чем вы говорите!👍

[@michaelplank8966]

No acall lead is necessary when shooting instinctive shooting

[@K80Ed]

False…

[@brianseage5452]

Too long and too much talking. Must make better use of shotkam.
