Sunrise Productions Read the Line, Feel the Lead with Peter Blakeley DVD (PBDVD) $60 Successful shotgunning is a skill that must be learned like any other skill. Anyone with normal physique, good eyesight, and reasonable coordination can learn to become a good shotgunner. It does, however, require systematic study and the ability to evaluate accurately the variables of moving targets. Few of us are born with the natural ability to calculate accurately the amount of forward allowance required to hit Sporting Clay targets consistently, as the infinite combinations of variables are too complex. For example, Peter demonstrates why the lead required on a 40-yard crosser is three times (and not twice) the amount of lead required on a 20-yard crosser. We may have a gun that fits; we may have the mechanical skills; but if we don't get a good "read" on the target, the wheels come off. Peter Blakeley, shooting coach at the Dallas Gun Club probably gives more shooting lessons than any other shooting coach in the country. Over the years he has perfected a method of teaching students how to understand the five things we must consider when shooting a moving target: speed, distance, angle, trajectory, and target break-point. This DVD covers a very logical and intuitive way to evaluate each of these five things and apply it to each target. See what Peter sees during the shot through Sunrise Productions’ exclusive EYE-CAM, the most revolutionary wingshooting teaching tool ever developed, with additional slow-motion coverage and commentary by Peter for each particular shot. Of course, eventually you need to trust this accumulation of knowledge, and more importantly, pull the trigger when the picture looks right to you. In other words, read the line, feel the lead and you will achieve success in your shotgunning. DVD format. 90 minutes. |

Sunrise Productions' EYE-CAM |
All of the shotgunning DVD's that we sell feature Sunrise Productions' exclusive EYE-CAM. The EYE-CAM lets the student see what the instructor sees when the instructor fires the shot. The EYE-CAM illustrates better than any other teaching tool the proper flow and timing of movements required to execute properly the sustained lead, swing-through, and pull-away methods of obtaining forward allowance during wingshooting. The EYE-CAM also illustrates better than anything else the instructor's hold points and view points before calling for the target. The EYE-CAM is truly the most revolutionary wingshooting teaching tool ever developed.
Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing "instinctive" about shooting in general, or about shotgunning in particular. Shotgunning is a skill that must be learned and practiced, just like any other skill. Successful shotgunning requires systematic study and the ability to evaluate accurately the variables of moving targets and obtaining the proper forward allowance on those moving targets. Successful shotgunning also also requires proper equipment.
Successful shotgunning is a blend of skilled shooter and effective gun. Both are elemental and without both there can be no success.
The shot charge does not move at light speed and leading the target is required to obtain a hit. All of the Sunrise DVD's cover the different methods of obtaining lead. Learn how the perceived lead changes at various angles, though the mathematical lead may remain constant. Learn why the lead required on a 40-yard crosser is three times (and not twice) the amount of lead required on a 20-yard crosser.
Proper gun fit is a sine qua non of successful shotgunning, as the shooter's master eye is effectively the shotgun's rear sight. All of the Sunrise DVD's cover proper gun fit and how to achieve it.
Learn how to confirm proper gun fit using the pattern plate at 16 yards. When patterns are not centered, learn how much the buttstock must be adjusted to achieve the desired point of impact.
Most Sporting Clays is usually shot "low gun", meaning the weapon is not mounted to the shoulder before calling for the target. All of the Sunrise DVD's cover proper gun mount, as well as hold points and look points for various target presentations.
Proper choke selection is critical to successful shotgunning. These DVD's will help you choose the proper choke for your particular application, whether it be skeet, sporting clays, or hunting. George Digweed's Guide to Perfection in Sporting Clays covers why George shoots full chokes for all targets at all ranges, and why he feels choke selection is not important. Other instructors and champion shooters do not agree, and many favor a light-modified choke for their sporting clays shooting.
Bill McGuire and Andy Duffy, for example, do their shooting with light-modified and explain in their instructional DVDs why they rarely change out chokes to something else.
Sporting Clays has a greater variety of target sizes and colors than any other shotgun game. All of the Sunrise Sporting Clays DVD's cover the various targets and which methods, loads, and chokes work best on each target.
Both the double and repeater action types work very well. This Krieghoff K-80 and Benelli M1 Super 90 Field are contrasts in style, and have their relative advantages and disadvantages. Read the Line, Feel the Lead with Peter Blakeley and Andy Duffy's Approach to Winning BIG in Sporting Clays both cover the relative advantages of each action type. Peter Blakeley prefers the double while Andy Duffy prefers the self-loader. Each explains why in his DVD.
Mastering the Double Gun covers the relative advantages and disadvantages of the Side x Side and Over/Under double designs for both clay target games and wingshooting, and why understanding these advantages and disadvantages is required for understanding and mastering the double gun.
Wingshooting: Putting More Birds in Your Bag is probably the most comprehensive video ever produced to teach you how to hit game birds. Wingshooting is not about how to hunt birds, but rather about how to hit them. Professional wingshooters and instructors Bruce Scott and Marty Fischer, hosts of the popular Shotgun Journal television series, teach you the finer points of wingshooting and how to hit
dove, wild pigeon, Hungarian and red-legged partridge,
duck, geese, ptarmigan, quail, and
pheasant.
Hunting often occurs on uneven terrain and birds flush unexpectedly, causing one to shoot while he is off balance. Wingshooting covers shooting techniques from unconventional stances.
If you are an avid shotgunner, you know that you need more than just the gun. The Galco Sporting Collection is full of useful bags and carriers to facilitate carrying ammunition and other gear.
