How Do You Stand For Skeet Shooting?
Skeet shooting is one of the best ways to improve your accuracy with a shotgun. It’s also a highly competitive sport requiring much skill and concentration. Knowing how to properly stand while shooting can only help to polish your accuracy as well as improve your safety. Stand in a fighting stance. That is, if you’re a righty, you stand with your left leg forward; if you’re a lefty, you stand with your right leg forward. Stick your butt out, lean your chest forward and shift your weight onto your front leg. You want to be leaning forward with both feet pointing straight ahead. Hold the gun in a comfortable position against your shoulder. This helps to brace your body for recoil and prevents the gun from damaging your shoulder. Pivot your body with your legs as you take aim on the skeet. This gives you more control than if you pivoted with your upper body.
