Outdoor Tip

Keep Your Ammo Safe - Don’t be tempted to spray penetrating lubricants such as WD-40 on or near your ammunition. Such products can dissolve waterproofing sealers around the primer and bullet-case mouth and contaminate both the primer and the gunpowder inside the cartridge. At best, you might have a failure to fire (a dud); at worst, a dangerous hang-fire.

Exaggerate Your Follow-Through: When shotgunning, follow-through is vital. Keep swinging as you pull the trigger, the same way a golfer or a tennis player follows through on his swing after hitting the ball. Don’t stop the gun or you’ll shoot behind the target.

Outdoor Tip

Practice With A Low Gun: It pays to shoot some clays with a dismounted, or “low,” gun. Next time you’re on the skeet or sporting clays course, call for a few birds with your gun held in a field-carrying position. Practicing like this will help you feel more comfortable when birds rise in the field.
