Shooting glasses, shotgunning tips and red dot scopes

Shooting/Hunting tips of the month

June 2004

TIP 1.

Any shooter who does not wear a pair of special shooting glasses with impact-resistant lenses while testing handloads or in competition risks damaging their eyes.

In the event a case separates and hot gas and fragments of brass come back through the action, your eyes are in danger unless protected by glasses.

In some field-type shotguns sports, there is always the danger of copping a stray pellet in the eye. See website below for more info on glasses:

TIP 2.

The problem which confronts the beginner in shotgun shooting is that of lead.

The recommended technique is that of bringing your gun up in the usual and then swinging it along the path of the moving target. You bring the muzzle from behind, tracking the target and catching up to it. As the muzzle passes it, you shoot.

It is most important not to slow or stop your swing. The swing and pull must be co-ordinated so that the swing will continue until the charge has left the muzzle. This automatically solves the problem of lead. Check out the website below for more info:

TIP 3.

Pro Point electronic sights (e.g. Tasco) are intended for short range use where speed of aim is essential and they are used with both eyes open.

This makes it easier and quicker to track a moving target. Perfect for use on shotguns while hunting pigs in thick scrub.
