Master Trap and Trap Teal target presentations in Sporting Clays. Join Team Krieghoff Pro Shooter, Mike Luongo, as he breaks down how to shoot these common targets found on Sporting Clays, FITASC, Super Sporting, and 5-Stand courses. Whether you're a recreational shooter or competing in National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) tournaments, understanding these presentations is key to improving your shotgun shooting skills.
Filmed at Blackjack Sporting Clays, Mike first demonstrates shooting a Trap Teal target as a single, then follows up by taking it in a report pair. He explains the importance of Hold-Point, Look-Point, and Target Speed, emphasizing how these factors impact your ability to break the target. For Trap Teal targets with slower speeds, Mike utilizes the Swing-Through method, while for traditional trap targets, he prefers the Pull-Away method to maintain control and precision. Another key technique he shares is Ghosting the Gun, which allows shooters to use soft focus beyond the barrels, keeping the shotgun out of direct view while locking onto the target as it emerges from the trap.
Mike then moves to another station featuring a true pair of traditional trap targets, breaking down his approach to successfully engaging both targets. Whether you’re shooting a 12-gauge Krieghoff shotgun or another brand, these fundamental techniques will help refine your shotgun shooting skills and improve your consistency on the course.
