re: Clay Shooters Step In - Bringing My Son For the First Time

You are absolutely right one what birds to start him on.

First make sure that the shotgun fits him because if it does not then it will hamper his learning abilities.

Second would be to make sure that his bead is below the bird so that way he has a full sight picture and that he is not covering the bird with the barrel. Finally I would make sure that he is not coming back to the bird and that he is not trying to back track on anything crossing so he is smooth as possible. I hope that makes sense and that would be my first things to focus on other than proper form for recoil absorption.

I have been shooting steady for about two years and have worked into consistent mid to high 80's on non tournament birds.
