Event Prep Tips

Here are a few quick tips from America Outdoors that may help you get ready for the event:

  •  When shooting (or practicing your swing/mounts), position your feet so that a line extending from your rear heel to your leading foot points to where you will break the target. Keep your stance relatively narrow. This position encourages a smooth swing and a good follow through.
  •  When pointing your gun, focus on the target and not the gun barrel or bead. Point, don’t aim. Aiming slows your swing and causes you to shoot behind. Since a shot string is 10-14′ long, use it to your advantage by pointing slightly more in front of a target. If you miss crossing targets, you are probably shooting behind. Try to “miss” in front by doubling your lead, and if still missing, try doubling the lead again.
  • When shooting simultaneous (true) pairs, decide ahead of time which target you will break. Generally, shoot the behind or lower target first, unless one target is quick to disappear behind cover or is decidedly more difficult. Shooting the lower target first allows gun recoil to bring you automatically to the upper target. Shooting the back target first allows your swing to continue smoothly to the front target.
  • When you’re experiencing a missing streak, change something. Change one of your postures. Double your lead. Or, give yourself less think time by moving your gun hold point and target viewpoint closer to the breakpoint. Pull the trigger the instant the gun is mounted to your face and the target is in focus.

Scott Robertson has been a professional shooter with Beretta for over 20 years, has 23 years of experience in shooting clay sports, and he has won eight National Sporting Clay Championships.

The Light Up To Live Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) public charity based in Addison, TX and founded by Randall and Sherry Reed. As a military family,  they are dedicated to raising awareness about the members of our U.S. Armed Forces and Veterans living with the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), tissue injury, pain and depression. The foundation funds polychromatic light therapy systems that have been shown to increase blood flow in the body and reduce associated minor pain for active military and Veterans that we identify could most benefit from its use. Light Up To Live helps connect these military members and their families to other organizations that are in alignment with our mission to provide direct aid and assistance. We want to light a path to better health.
