Wingshooting

“I always have considered myself a fair shotgunner with a knowledge of how far to lead a moving target, how to learn where my shot went when I missed a target, and what it takes to have fast reflexes. What I didn't realize until last Wednesday is that I really didn't understand fully what a lead was, that I shouldn't care where my shot went during a miss, and that being accurately fast is a heck of a lot more important than just being fast.

After a four-hour visit with Leon Measures of Livingston at Alpine Gun Range during one of his Shoot Where You Look workshops, I am convinced that his philosophy and teaching techniques are things that can improve any shotgunner's ability, novice or veteran alike.

Measures' training technique is one I had heard about but had never participated in. Now, after doing so, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their wingshooting. I not only came away a better shotgunner, I also came away with a certain amount of confidence that I did not realize was lacking.

No one can become a better shotgunner if he or she doesn't practice, but not all practice, I learned from Measures, must be with a loaded shotgun.”

“There a few memorable days in a man's life that are forever imprinted as special and enriching. My recent attendance at your course was one of those days. With efficient professionalism, you taught my buddies and me basic wing shooting fundamentals and helped reestablish confidence in this frustrated dove hunter.”
