Cheers Ben... I have been shooting a year... I am improving. But after being a rifle shooter for the past 16 years... this is a whole new game. But absolutely love it.

Really appreciate how you break down a shot and the way you describe the method. Simple to understand and later visualize in a mental replay. Thanks Ben.

Thanks, Ben and all, for great video lesson. This type of target is difficult for me. I will try this method at next event. Thanks for the ShotKam view as well. I can get a view of lead, position and angle when the shot was taken. Thanks again. Love to see more videos. Jim, Georgia USA

Great video Ben. This one always gives me trouble on consistency. Thank you.

I have always done this, but I think about it a differnt way. I look it it like a fly ball in baseball. I hold my barrel/glove below the peak, and I'm just going to reach out my mitt and catch it as it comes down off the peak. The reason I prefer thinking about it this way is that it's just a simpler picture in my mind's eye than thinking in terms of swing through or "okay, hold here, kill there, match speed..."
