In clay shooting, your stance is your foundation. A proper stance not only enhances your stability but also improves your shooting precision. Think of your stance as the bedrock of your performance; without a solid foundation, you cannot build the skills needed for success. A well-mastered stance allows for consistent and reliable shots, enabling you to track targets more effectively. It’s crucial to adopt a stance that feels comfortable yet robust, offering support and agility.
To effectively read the trajectory of a clay target, it’s essential to first understand the mechanics of the target’s launch. The launch angle, speed, target size and direction are predetermined factors that influence the target’s flight path. In trap shooting, targets are typically launched from a single machine positioned in front of the shooter, whereas in skeet shooting, targets are launched from two machines situated at different angles. Familiarizing oneself with these launch parameters is the first step toward predicting and interpreting the target’s trajectory.
