Ed is the definition of a coach! .... no bs directly to the point in a lunguage that anybody who shoots can understand!!!

[@MichaelYarde]

I say this every time he’s in a video, but Ed is such a good coach. He communicates his methods so well. I just hope his diary is open again next year so I can book a lesson or two 😂

[@fullchoke01]

Ed seems like a very likeable chap and his passion comes across in his teachings. Good stuff guys

[@arthur703]

Ed, a excellent teacher. Thanks for the video.

[@Jakeyboy628]

At my club there is always so much confusion around certain discipline's and rules. Would be great to see more of ed shooting with TGS 👍

[@KH-dq2en]

your channel is a big win for clayshooters !!

[@jonnycarterfan]

A couple of days ago I became a member of this KZbin channel. Today I finally scored a date on Tinder. Coincidence? I think not

[@richgrose3308]

My son and I get so much from these two. Thank you gentlemen.

[@DFox-ud3gx]

I shot fitasc for the first time 2 weeks ago loved it. I'm talking another crack at fitasc in 3 weeks. Thanks for your making these shows.

[@damham5689]

Ive been shooting sporting clays for 30 years and enjoy it very much even though Im not the greatest. Before that though I learned shooting clays as a way to help when hunting, so gun was always held in the way you would in the field hunting. And Ive yet to see anyone walk a field hunting pheasant with a gun shouldered. If I did I doubt Id want to hunt with them. Id like to see someone who just shoots pro sporting clay shooter would do in a hunt without shoulder ready and knowing before hand were, how fast, direction and from what direction the target is coming from.

[@neodutch]

That Longthorne is working nice for you Jonny.

[@Redlegwar]

Great videos guys! Love Ed’s teaching style!

[@xBobby]

Ed is the freaking man. I hope he comes to the states again soon. I gotta meet him

[@TargetBreaker1234]

great content Jonny! New gun looks like it fits like a glove!

[@BertieWynne]

Fantastic video 👍 very informative and a great insight into the discipline

[@jonathanhart262]

I’m new to this. And fitasc is what I’m aiming at. It’s awesome.

[@bumblesquatt]

Excellent video Johnny, I'd love a lesson with Ed one day!

[@1valg]

Brilliant video! I believe its 25 cm from the top of the shoulder to the chest. ....the safety on that Longthorne gets its exercise well enough 😉 Anyway. Could you do a special on Ed Solomons K-80? Perhaps a little comparison between the two guns?

[@matthewlardner5328]

Clear, concise, no BS and easy to understand. Not a narcissistic ego to heard or tattoo to be seen anywhere 🙏🏻

[@funkla65]

Jonny getting more professional help, while Ant is no doubt needing to work for a living somewhere. ;-) More seriously, good video with some insight, and beautiful place and day for some shooting.

[@tgsoutdoors]

How did Ant manage to give this a thumbs up twice 😂

[@funkla65]

@@tgsoutdoors it was probably him and Ed. ;-)

[@FeralTuckerFella]

I'm not convinced Ed's mum couldn't hit a battue

[@tgsoutdoors]

I heard it was actually his mum Who won the world title …

[@KathrynLiz1]

We shoot 'casual' sporting at our general (pistol, rifle and shotgun) shooting club....and we have always shot 'gun down'... it used to be compulsory, but lately I have noticed a lot shoot with gun mounted...... I was taught 'gun down' so usually shoot that way. Due to covid and advanced age (80 now) I am not getting any better, but I can work on that. Watching these videos is instructive.... 🙂

[@johngregory8576]

Another fascinating video, I finally get the intricacies of FITASC. However, as I can barely hit anything at Sporting I think I'll pass on this 🤣 I do like Ed's style and young Mr. Carter really seems to be coming along!

[@mikeproctor3664]

Excellent video, you are a pretty good shot.

[@MAL-yt4yh]

I love these two. So informative with friendly shooting. What is the typical target distance or range in FITASC?

[@danjamison3727]

Great video would be nice to talk about what chokes you would use in these disciplines for us amateurs

[@Imiela100]

Hi Ed, I think I've learn't a lot from this video, would love pop and see you mate

[@e-fishinseasportfishingcha9506]

Great Video ! Johnny, could you please share with us what gun you are shooting in this video, it appears to be a real gem in my eyes. thank you and please keep the videos coming.

[@danhill6333]

Boy I got my work cut out for me. You look to be shooting very well Jonny. Looking forward to a lesson with Ed. Then maybe I have a chance of bettering you. Great video. Much appreciated. 👍👍

[@tgsoutdoors]

🤞🏼 you can get over soon mate

[@tomzaronias4937]

It’s always good Bideo With that man excellent

[@iantunnicliffe4509]

Really good 👍

[@QuickShiftMoto1]

FITASC - Fairly Impossible Targets At Sporting Clays

[@mikedupree832]

I like FITASC Because targets tend to be extreme and I don't feel as bad when I miss because of the nature of the targets

[@seanohalloran]

Question. When you are shooting O/R do you have to unmount your gun to the holding point or can you keep it mounted ?

[@ImDudePlayinADude]

What do these shooters (and other UK shooters) think of american trap? Thats what i have shot mostly, but watching these videos makes me want to try out some other disciplines.

[@walterdl2904]

When shooting doubles may you keep the gun mounted or must you drop to the ready position for the second bird?

[@ImDudePlayinADude]

Around the 15 minute mark Ed says you don't need to dismount, and he recommended on that shot to stay mounted

[@mikedupree832]

Future video request. Can you do a Video where you explain and show flight path of a target by name Crow, Roller.etc

[@TechnicalSika]

Johnny, have you reviewed your Longthorne?

[@neilbrailsford4882]

that would be nice to see

[@jamesmason4681]

My Mrs hates it when I dry mount

[@johnattwater9606]

Very imformative video , could you just quote the chokes you using & cartridge size .

[@tgsoutdoors]

All Hull Cartridge, All 1/2 choke 60-90m - Hull Pro One 100-120 - Hull Sovereign 6.5 130 - 3” hull mega bombs (can’t remember which exact load)

[@Patrick-sw2qk]

Great video as usual. Both guns are beautiful, could you provide the brands and models? Looking forward to your next video.

[@neodutch]

ED shoots a Kreighoff. Jonny's gun is mentioned in the other comments.

[@Patrick-sw2qk]

@@neodutch thanks

[@Patrick-sw2qk]

Knew I couldn’t afford either

[@finallevel29]

It’s bollocks 💪💪

[@gordy1961]

I reckon that Ed might have done it before you know... just a feeling ive got.. 😀

[@bluesix2843]

…1.42…JC…I’ve heard…Awwkwaaaard,

[@mallardcutter7209]

It will be interesting to see this done with steel shot when lead is banned.

[@nicolaiwagner9374]

absolutely no problem with FITASC when using steel, only the really extreme birds

[@bgjb-r1499]

Skeet and Trap is hard enough! Lol

[@macbilling6410]

John, what gun was you using? It look's gorgeous

[@neodutch]

See other comments.

[@bikeronnie]

Takes time to write a plebby answer but not the decency to answer the question with the correct answer! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@jimbo2602]

“It’s how long is a piece of string”

[@charleskittler4330]

Ed sure got the owl hoot going on 🦉🦉

[@tgsoutdoors]

It was the end of a long day, the filters where most definitely worn out

[@charleskittler4330]

Ed is a great teacher and a true UK treasure. Please keep up excellent videos 👍👍

[@tgsoutdoors]

Back out with him this month

[@saleembarmania5295]

One big owl forgot to show up.

[@twinpotracer]

Does physical fitness come into it 😂. ........ George digweed 🤣

[@stephensailer9495]

How is this different from 5 Stand?

[@tgsoutdoors]

You shoot from a hoop, for a very different set of targets, in a different order from a gun down position….

[@sonysv1]

What 😎 is Mr Carter sporting

[@neodutch]

Pans down to Ed's feet, I'm surprised he's not wearing snake skin boots.

[@jamesacenter7655]

25cm from the apex of your shoulder axis is the measurement.

[@peepsnet]

I am a Trumpet!!!!!!!!!!!

[@consumertester5665]

I only just realised Ed is a leftie……doh! Who can tell me which shotguns are being used here?

[@tgsoutdoors]

Ed is on a Kreighoff K80 Jonny a Longthorne Trigger Plate

[@solentflyerparagliding]

...trumpet...😏🎺🎺🎺

[@michaelplank8966]

Now i like shooting in the woods like crows coming in or woodies you never talk about the huge lack of gun ownership in england in the 70 there was much more plius now oi hear police are taking them away you all better get involved i moved to freedom land see non of you ever talk about deffending youresf against thugs i understand english people dont like taking about this i have my pwn layout its fun

[@mattburgin5977]

Can he do random? Seems to be highly relying on 💤💤 Come on

[@mattburgin5977]

With respect, couldn't ask for a better coach

[@pavelmorozov6599]

terrible trigger discipline

[@neodutch]

Chillax Seal Team Six.

[@K80Ed]

You should have seen where he had his finger before we started…

[@matthewlardner5328]

Fairly sure he wasn’t demonstrating how to shoot a rifle!!! C🐔🐔K

[@bikeronnie]

Does physical fitness help? Old, frail, FAT! I think you'll find in the world of Tweed, we are called "Portly"! 😉
