How to Shoot a Teal
A teal climbs almost straight up. You take it at the very top of its rise, where it hangs motionless for an instant before dropping.
Any shooter
Rising- Stance
- Pivoting leg oriented toward the trap.
- Gun position
- On the bird's line.
- Waiting position
- High — ⅓ to ½ of the distance from the breaking spot.
- Head
- Erect.
- Visual
- Between the gun and the breaking spot.
- Timing
- Start mounting after the bird passes the barrel, and deliver the shot at the highest point of its flight.
Set up right and you'll break more of these. But when you do miss one — why? The Gold guides break down every miss and the exact fix from Bill Erdőss's system. See the Gold guides →
About the method. These guides come from the coaching system of Bill Erdőss, an Olympic clay shooting coach, built around one idea: diagnose the cause of a miss, not the symptom. The same logic powers ClaysBuddy's shot heatmap, which finds that cause in your own rounds and tracks whether your fix is working.
