Sporting Clays Tip for December 2009 : The Jerk
sporting clay shooting
Article by Dan Schindler
The Paragon School of Sporting has just released the December 2009 Sporting Clays Tip to the public.
This months article is titled:The Jerk
Think about it. Balance a shotgun on a pin. Move the back end –> the front end moves. Hold that thought please.
First — I ask that we mentally focus on a specific block of time — when your gun starts moving — all the way to the trigger pull. During that specific block of time — using the second hand on your watch — notice how long 2 seconds is. Now 3 seconds. Now 4. Can we agree that this block of “swing and shot time” usually takes place somewhere between 2 to 4 seconds and — quite often – sooner? Seems right.
OK — now look hard at the first 1 to 1.5 seconds — the very first, critical movement of your gun. What’s happening in that first 1 second? Too often — the trigger hand is racing up to the face. The fore-end hand isn’t doing much of anything except supporting the gun. Now — and here’s the important part — still in that 1st second — with the trigger hand coming up quickly — the muzzle can only go one way: down. While that barrel is going down — the bird is going somewhere else — isn’t it? It didn’t go down. It went up — or across — or away from us. Everywhere but down. In slow motion now — the stock is now on your cheek but your muzzle took a dirt dive! I call that right hand upward snap “the jerk!”
1st second completed — we start second number 2. The left hand now has to “correct,” by lifting the muzzle up and chase after the target — wherever it went. With the barrel out of control and hunting for the target — not only is precious time lost — the advantage goes to the bird.
Title of my 2nd Book — To The Target <– that’s where your fore-end hand takes the muzzle. The critical first direction in the gun mount is MOVE — not mount. The fore-end hand leads this movement –> To The Target — directly. The hands must work in precise harmony — not allowing the trigger hand to “throw” the muzzle off course. Done correctly — when the stock touches your face the sight picture is the one you planned and you can finish the shot — X! No muss, no fuss.
Want to be more consistent? Have your hands work together in your gun mount.

It takes practice. You can buy a thrower and practice until you become better at shooting.
If you don’t take care of the weapon appropriately then of course this can actually change how correct your shots are when competing. Before you even begin cleaning your shotgun the first thing you must do from a safety standpoint is be sure that there is no ammunition in it. Only after you have assured this can you commence the job of dismantling and cleaning the weapon. You should read through the instruction manual provided with your shotgun because this will claify fully how to dismantle the shotgun correctly. With regards to cleaning equipment for your weapon a reputable supplier of skeet and trap shooting supplies can offer exactly what you require. In addition to looking for this stuff in the area we can get you just what you need online.
