Shot clays for the first time this past Sunday, and let me tell you, it was a humbling experience. I had a blast, but if I told you I got more than 30% of the birds I would be lying. One station toward the end of the shoot, I was 4 for 4, which lifted my spirits a little. I would like to throw one problem out here to see if i can get a few pointers. I am right handed, but left eye dominant. One of the guys in my foursome Sunday, told me to put a patch over my right eye, and that would help my accuracy. Any other tips for a right handed, left eye dominant shooter?
First the tape should be placed in a position that it blocks the bead of the dominant eye. The middle will usually not be that place.
This video contains more than a little on shooting with a patch, changing sides or retraining eye dominance. Andy has been a three time National Champion.
Agree on the technical points. However, Fiocchi had/has the "Rhino" designation with their White Rhino and Little Rhino shell.
"Rhino rollers" was an old phrase before Fiocchi came out with their Rhino line in the early 2000s. I suspect Fiocchi played on the term for their lines which is common in all products as it gives nearly instant name recognition.
battue, thanks for posting the Video, a lot of great info and tips. I wish I had found the sport earlier. It's a great way to spend a morning or afternoon. I will be golfing a lot less!
The "Behind the Break" podcasts are excellent. Andy knocked it out of the park on both of his interviews. A lot of the others are good too. Tomorrow morning, Bill McGuire's episode will be available.
Battue I miss shooting sporting clays. I am dropped down to A class now because I haven't shot in so long! Maybe even B class. I am working in Slovakia now, I rotate out 7 Dec. We need to hook up and shoot again. As usual you are putting out good info. Great to see deflave out shooting sporting clays. Deflave if you get a chance checkout OK Corral in Okeechobee very nice club.
We need you get out there and shoot! I have to go home to Montana first, then Arkansas to meet my new grandson, Then to CT to visit my mom. After that I can get out and shoot for sure. Take it easy buddy. Not a gypsy just chasing helicopters around the world! I have it made so I can't complain. Yes the woman here are well unless you have experienced it you won't get it! You have so you get it. What cracks me up is that in the summer they dress like total whore's, then in the winter they dress so classy and nice! I am not complaining either way. I only have one Helicopter, one Mechanic, one avionics, and two pilots to manage so life is easy here. Oh and almost no flight hours.
Shot another guys new DT-11 the other day. They over-bore it considerably and taper the bore down to the choke. The is a little difference in recoil and the muzzle jump seems to be reduced.
