Continuation and end of our series of articles dedicated to shooting sports. The series “Objective 25/25 in ball shooting, a step by step strategy” aims to give you advices (in 3 articles) to help you improve your swing and your shots and to get 25/25 during your next competitions or ball shooting sessions.

If the instructor stands in front of your rib or behind you, don’t worry! In the first case it is to observe if the dominant eye is aligned just above the rib, in the second to check your stance. The following tips are geared towards Olympic Trap, but can be adapted for other disciplines (see end of article).

It all depends on your level as a shooter and your natural talent. If you have never shot clay pigeon before, I recommend that you first go to the nearest shooting range to try it out. There might be an instructor and maybe they could even lend you a shotgun for your first attempt. With an instructor there, you won’t get discouraged if there are lots of “zeroes”; instead you will receive useful advice, get an understanding and have fun getting good results, with the goal of 25 out of 25. And, if you have talent, the instructor will recognise it immediately.

When shooting in the summertime, you need to check your scope is adjusted before considering that first outing to hunt buck or fox. We’d like to show you how to zero your rifle with just four rounds.
