Please be patient and bear with me as I lead into this story. I promise it will circle back around to why you stopped by here in the first place. I used to be a serious golfer, self-taught from my first swing. There was never a lack of enthusiasm or determination on my part, just the thrill of my initial gear purchases after which I showed up, gripped it and ripped it. Though I had more fun than any one person might aught to have, the problem with being self-taught is usually the teacher. A true, ”long ball hitter” in baseball, golf was definitely an adventure for me. And for those on the fairways bordering both sides of mine. My problem was never ...
Can Tiger Woods give you multiple tips to improve your golf game? Can 2018 Olympic Gold winner Shaun White give you multiple tips to improve your snowboarding? Can tennis star Serena Williams give you multiple tips to improve your tennis game? Can professional basketball star LeBron James give you multiple tips to improve your dunking skills? Of course, the answer to all the questions above is, yes, they can give you “tips.” A better question might be, can those superstars 1) correctly evaluate and weigh your goals, personal skills, and shortcomings, before recommending anything…2) actually see, specifically, what you are, and are not doing correctly…and ...
Hello again…or maybe this is your first time here? Either way, I very much appreciate your stopping by. That you are here says you may be looking to improve your shooting? If that’s so let me begin by saying, most definitely, there are answers to your good questions. As all of us search for those answers…what’s better or best in our game…we might want to remember that there can be more than one consideration on the table. Here are a few of those considerations that can assist in finding the “best” answer. Let’s look at a discussion on shooting methods…a common topic on shooting forums and rightfully so. Here’s ...
Common, I see this in lessons, competition, and while watching social shooters. Like leaving the house with the hot coffee pot still plugged in, it’s that important message in the shooting box we shouldn’t, but do forget. We step off the cart and Earl steps into the box. I’m holding the controller, my thumb on the button. Earl looks serious today as he evaluates the A and B trap, 2 challenging target presentations. After the show birds, preparation in place, he asks for the A trap and begins by only shooting singles. Earl shoots very well on the A trap. 5 singles = XXXXX. 5 good breaks. He then asks me for singles again, off trap B, which is another crafty ...
Ammunition, assuming 12 gauge… A few important numbers:1) 2 3/4 DRAM loads. Dram is the amount of powder in the shell. 3 DRAM and higher = more recoil and are contraindicated in too many ways to count. 2 3/4 DRAM loads hit the magic fps number…UNDER 1,200 fps.2) 1,200 fps or preferably a bit less will break every fair target presentation on this earth…consistently. 1,150 to 1,180 fps.3) First choice is either 7/8 oz or 1 oz loads. Both are 100% dependable. 2nd choice is 1 1/8 oz loads. Like powder, more shot = more recoil. 4) Shot size: 8’s put more pellets in the pattern…best for 80-90% of our targets inside 40 yards. 7 1/2’s (larger ...
