The first weekend passed after the opening of summer-autumn duck hunting. There is a lull at the SBI shooting complex on Wednesday afternoon. At that time I was working at the stand as a senior instructor-methodologist. A citizen came into my room, whose face seemed familiar to me. He asked if there was an opportunity to practice skeet shooting. Yes,” I answered and explained the procedure for visiting the stand. When asked to conduct several shooting lessons with him, I agreed. Only after this did he introduce himself more formally, USSR cosmonaut N..., for obvious reasons I am omitting his first and last name. N said that he was given a gun and, being invited to hunt, he shamelessly smeared and was left without prey. His pride was hurt, and this brought him to the stand: if you go hunting, you need to shoot skillfully, and the point here is not in the amount of game caught, but in the necessary amount of professionalism that a hunter who has the slightest self-respect should have.
After two weeks of relatively intense training, N began to confidently shoot at the level of the second category, and when he arrived at the stand after another hunting trip, he showed a photo of the trophies he had obtained, warmly thanking him for the training conducted with him. To N’s credit, I would like to note that, despite his fame and the persistent desire of the stand director to create the most favorable conditions for him, when visiting shooting sites and purchasing cartridges, he used the services on a general basis, which by today’s and even by then standards was rare.
So, training on the bench turned the “baby” on the hunt into a skilled marksman. Many will object, they say, they saw these stand-up artists smearing ducks. I will answer, no and no again, given the presence of game and other equal conditions, an experienced stand shooter will always have richer prey than a hunter with shooting practice only on the hunt. And this is becoming more and more obvious, as the lands become poorer, the shooting standards are lower, and you can’t shoot much while hunting in order to, as they say, get better.
I note that the result of hunting game is influenced not only by the skill of the shooter, but also by the hunter’s knowledge of the habits of the game, the correctly chosen place at dawn, the ability to camouflage and conceal the game. In the central regions, in decent hunting grounds, hunting is usually carried out with huntsman service, and the hunter’s ability to shoot correctly comes to the fore; in this, regular skeet shooting classes and, preferably, under the guidance of an experienced instructor, will provide him with invaluable assistance.
The recommendations are intended primarily for hunters and are slightly different from the requirements for training athletes. If there is a stand nearby, training will take place without any problems, but where there are no stationary test sites, buy for yourself or by pooling together a throwing machine and several boxes of skeet targets, in the end it will not be so expensive, and in this case you can practice shooting at least two of us. A portable throwing machine, even of the simplest design, will be quite enough to obtain good flying shooting skills, and with a thoughtful approach to training and using the following recommendations, you can do without the help of an instructor.
The first thing to do before you start shooting is to adjust the gun. Pay special attention to stock length, comb height and pitch (10-15 cm down). Information about this can be found in hunting literature. For hunting, a stock, if a little short, is better than a long one, and the height of the comb should not leave the aiming bar open; when the cheek is “pressed” into the ridge of the stock, the front sight may even “sag” slightly.
The rules for the position of the gun when shooting on a round stand, for “hunting shooting”, need to be adhered to only relatively. Given the general usefulness of the sports stance, it is more advisable to keep the butt 20–25 cm higher and slightly extended forward to the level of the shoulder cavity (than indicated in the rules), which will make it easier and faster to raise the gun, especially for beginners. Hands serve only to lift and hold the gun, all turns, both horizontally and vertically, are carried out only by the body.
When throwing up, make sure that the ends of the barrels do not “nod” down and remain, after raising the gun, at the level of the initial position or the intended flight path of the target (game). General position guns at an angle of about 45 degrees to the shoulder line. The finger on the trigger lies tightly, and the shot is fired without stopping the gun during the firing process.
Divide the course of study into several stages. Once you have mastered one technique, move on to the next. If you encounter difficulties in performing any exercise, do not try to immediately get a positive result by repetition: stop, take a break, try to analyze your actions and possible mistakes.

The platform of the circular stand represents a segment of a circle with a radius of 19.2 m limited by a chord 36.8 m long, drawn 5.49 m from the center of the circle. At the ends of the chord there is a tower on the left and a booth on the right, throwing targets from a height of 3.05 m and 1.07 m, respectively. Targets must fly through a 0.91 m diameter ring on a 4.12 m long pole mounted in the center of the circle. Along the arc of the segment there are seven shooting stations at a distance of 8.14 m from one another, the eighth (double) station is located in the middle of the chord.
The first stage: practicing shooting at a stolen target on the seventh place of a round stand or from a throwing machine located next to the shooter (to avoid injury, install a protective shield between the throwing machine and the hunter), to gain general shooting skills at flying targets.
Initially, shoot from the shoulder at a hijacked (flying away) target, with the barrels aligned along the target's flight path. The aiming point is along the bottom edge of the plate. By moving your body, align the front sight with the aiming point, do not fuss, but fire the shot immediately after alignment, and the hits will follow one after another.
Make the exercise more difficult by tilting the gun away from the target's trajectory by long distances in different directions and bring the trunks (with the body) to the desired point. Five, ten shots at most -
and now the plate is confidently amazed. The target throwing range is 50–60 m, and the flight height is 20 m from the machine 4–5 meters.
Having mastered these movements, proceed to shooting, with the gun positioned near the belt before the target takes off. If you practice jumping before shooting, the results will be no worse, and the perception of the target’s flight will be much simpler. Look initially at the plate with both eyes, and only after raising your eyes slightly squint your left eye (right-handed), if in the open state it interferes with aiming.
The second stage: the main one for waterfowl hunting. Let's start with shooting at the second shooting station of a round stand at an oncoming target, or at a target from a throwing machine flying to the left of the shooter at about 15 meters, the throwing machine is installed 30-35 meters from the hunter.
When installing the throwing machine and marking the shooting spots, if possible, be guided by the dimensions of the round stand area; to simulate shooting from a tower, if the terrain allows, install the throwing machine on a hillock.
Ready, gun at the waist, barrels slightly to the left of the target's departure. After the target has taken off, rear up and leash behind the target, go forward 30–40 cm and, without stopping the gun, fire a shot when the target has approached the optimal distance. This simple exercise is easy to master.
Then move to the sixth position, and when using a throwing machine, stand so that the target passes to the right of the shooter. The movements on an oncoming target are similar, only turning the body to the right is somewhat more difficult (for a right-handed person) than moving to the left, so “twist” the body a little, getting yourself into the shooting zone, and then turning the body towards the departure of the target, without stepping on your feet. To avoid “sagging” of the plate and shooting from above, the leash passes slightly below the target’s trajectory and exits at the point of the shot.
Then master the oncoming targets in the third and fifth places on the stand or increase the distance from the flight trajectory of the target from the throwing machine to 20–30 m, the leads will accordingly increase to 100–120 cm. Shoot at the oncoming skeet in the first and seventh places, or fired from the throwing machine machine at 30–40 m and flying 5–10 m from the shooter, the difficulty here is caused by the fact that the distance to the plate is rapidly decreasing and the movement (rotation) of the body will be accelerated, the only difficulty is this, but the lead is minimal - 10–20 cm.
In most cases, it is more rational to shoot at an oncoming target (game) at the shortest distance, when the direction of the shot is perpendicular to the target trajectory, so the visible leads coincide with the true ones, which makes it easy for even the shooter to control both his errors in the amount of lead, making the necessary corrections, and correct actions. Let me note that on the most massive hunt, such as duck hunting, if you don’t yawn, then 90% of the shots will be at flying (oncoming) ducks (targets).
If oncoming targets are practiced, then success in the duck dawns is guaranteed.
The third stage, it is better to start practicing hijacked targets on a trench stand with a reduced distance of 5 m and a short target throwing range of about 50 m. Shooting is carried out from the shoulder, the barrels are aimed at the target's departure or slightly higher, the gaze is focused about 5 m further than the departure and a few above the place where the plate appears.
After the target appears, determine the target’s flight path, calmly make a movement with your body, as if drawing under the target, and, taking a lead depending on the angle of departure of the target, fire a shot without stopping the gun; if you miss the first time, try to quickly make the necessary correction and follow up with a second shot. Naturally, on straight (hijacked) targets or with small deviations, the leads are small and mostly only vertically. In no case should you “aim” stolen, as well as left and right targets, the shot should sound as soon as all the movements to practice the target are completed, and do not fuss, do not rush immediately after the target, when, being too ahead of the target (game), you have to slow down , and this is usually a shot from behind, when the gun involuntarily stops.
The movements of the gun on the left or right stolen targets on the trench stand (from under the cop's stance) are, as a rule, accelerated. When practicing shooting hijacked targets from a throwing machine, shoot from a distance of 5 to 15 m from the departure, changing shooting positions so that the angle of the flight path of the plate with the continuation of the “shooter - throwing machine” line to the left and right ranges from 0 to 45 degrees, also change the target's flight altitude.
At a shooting distance of 15 m from the throwing machine, depending on the angle and casting distance, the visible leads are up to 100–120 cm, this is not so far from the target. Having achieved 50-60 percent hits on the trench stand, practice shooting at stolen targets on a round stand, at the beginning in the sixth and fifth places, then in the second, third and fourth places, and with the throwing machine at the beginning, the stolen targets going to the left and then to the right. When aiming at a target, use the skills learned from handling skeet when shooting in the trench.
The position of the gun on the circle when shooting at hijacked targets is slightly further from the departure than when shooting oncoming targets, but the gaze is directed at the place where the target appears. Since you are preparing for a hunt, distribute the weight of the hunter-shooter on both legs, and at the moment of throwing up, leading and shooting, try not to strain.
The ability to control your body is not always as simple as it seems. In front of the mirror, try to raise the gun to your shoulder with your hands so that the shoulder remains in place - it may not work right away. By quickly turning the body, move the barrels to various designated points; at first it will definitely be difficult to do this.
Conclusion: before you start shooting, practice at home.
Training is very important when shooting offhand. This shooting technique is often used when hunting snipe, grouse in the forest, autumn woodcock...
To acquire more complete skeet shooting skills, diversify your training, including approach shooting, from previously awkward positions, various throwing machine settings and doublet shooting, and if the stand is equipped with sports grounds nearby, then this is not difficult at all.
When practicing on your own, do not forget about safety precautions: after firing and when reloading a throwing machine, unload the gun and always keep it open, and a semi-automatic machine with the bolt open, and do not point the barrels of even an open gun towards people. Place the machine so that the unaffected plates fall onto the tall grass and are reused without breaking.
When practicing shooting, it is advisable to use lightweight cartridges, headphones, cotton wool or earplugs, eliminating the negative impact of a strong shot on training process. When hunting in an emotional environment, you simply don’t pay attention to the shot and strong recoil from a magnum cartridge. At dawn, having calmed down after a possible couple of misses, using the acquired skeet shooting skills, you can easily shoot the amount of game allowed for hunting.
The long three months from spring hunting to autumn will pass unnoticed by the favorite pastime of almost every hunter - shooting at flying targets.
Skeet shooting
Skeet shooting attracts people regardless of gender and age - it includes men, women, and children (most young athletes twelve years old), and old people. Skeet shooting, or as it is also called, skeet shooting, is carried out from smooth-bore rifles at flying special targets - skeet.
Skeet
Skeet shooting is an enchanting pastime at corporate events and friendly outings. And if you shoot skeet with your sons, you will remember such moments for the rest of your life. After all, shooting has not only been a man’s activity since time immemorial, but also self-discipline and accuracy.
Shotgun shooting in Moscow and Moscow region
Skeet shooting in Moscow and the Moscow region has found a lot of admirers. Sports shooting clubs provide the opportunity to learn the skills of sporting, compact sporting, and double trap. Modern skeet shooting clubs in Moscow and the Moscow region provide the opportunity to try all types of disciplines.
Sporting (large) is characterized by a huge variety of trajectories and a long firing range.
A distinctive feature of compact sporting is that a set of 25 targets is produced in limited areas.
With a double trap, a pair of targets fly out along almost parallel trajectories.
Dear reader, our long and frosty winter, having grabbed a good third of spring, nevertheless capitulated almost everywhere. It's time for us to once again turn our attention to the Olympic future of skeet shooting: competitions in the trap and skeet disciplines within Russian Team Championship, which started on April 2 in Krasnodar at the Dubrava Sports Complex.
The significance of the tournament is difficult to overestimate. It's all here: selection of participants for the upcoming World Cup stage clay pigeon shooting in South Korea, the fiercest competition within the selection system for the 2018 European Championship in Austria, and, of course, the fiercest rivalry between the main regions that cultivate our favorite sport: Moscow and the Moscow region, the Lipetsk region, the Republic of Tatarstan, the Krasnodar Territory, the Novosibirsk region.
Months of winter preparation were not in vain; all athletes are focused on maximum result and successfully cope with the new format of the tournament. It is now akin to running a marathon, but it lasts much longer: 3 days.
The weather in the south of Russia favors the participants, pampering them with bright sun and almost summer warmth. “Dubrava” is surrounded by greenery and delights with hospitality and impeccable operation of the equipment. Throwing equipment from world leaders LAPORTE, updated software and scoreboard from E.P. Elettronica Progetti is created practically ideal conditions for competitions, motivating athletes to achieve the highest results.

Bronze medalists of the Russian Team Championship in the skit exercise: team of the Republic of Tatarstan. A. Shakirova, Z. Batyrshina, A. Fazylzyanova.
Tangible advantage in 45 points in front of the closest pursuer, coupled with the traditionally strong Tatarstan riflemen in the round, created the illusion of the irreversibility of victory. But... That's why it's skeet shooting, that's why it's a target flying quickly in the wind, that's why we love our sport, because, as they say, they count chickens in the fall.
Let's face it, the handicap played a cruel joke on the leaders. Pursuers from Moscow and Lipetsk region with the excitement of the frisky hounds they rushed to catch up and over and over again gained the coveted points into their piggy banks, reducing what seemed to be an overwhelming advantage.
In competition women's teams Muscovites A. Krakhmaleva, N. Vinogradova, A. Godovanets won a brilliant victory, ahead of the Krasnodar Territory team consisting of: K. Zemlina, S. Ryabukhi and A. Guseva, third place in Tatarstan 1: A. Shakirova, A. Fazylzyanova, Z. Batyrshina.

Truly: houses and walls help. A. Zemlin, S. Kalimullin and P. Karpenko became champions of Russia 2018. Let us draw your attention to the unique performance of Sabir Kalimullin: he became a champion as part of the Krasnodar Territory team in two exercises: trap and skete! Bravo Sabir! Muscovites won silver: Y. Startsev, A. Fedorov and A. Belov The national team of the Republic of Tatarstan won the Team Championship Russia in skeet shooting!

According to the first deputy chairman of the NGO “ Belarusian Federation skeet shooting" Alexander Rublevsky, the tournament will be an important stage in the preparation of our shooters for the main competitions of the spring - the Federation Cup in Compact Sporting, which will be held in Minsk on May 21 and 22.
Regional individual and team skeet shooting competitions in Kamchatka
On April 09-10, at the Shooting Complex in the area of 14 km of the Petropavlovsk-Elizovo bypass road, open regional personal and team clay pigeon shooting competitions were held, dedicated to the 66th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The strongest shooters of the Kamchatka region from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Elizovo and Vilyuchinsk took part in the competition.
The winners in individual competitions were:
1st place - Oleg Zaikin (Elizovo);
2nd place - Vadim Titov (Elizovo);
3rd place - Tyurnev Igor (P-Kamchatsky).
IN team competitions behind highest awards 6 teams competed.
Based on the results of a stubborn struggle, the places in the team competition were distributed as follows:
1st place - team from Vilyuchinsk;
2nd place - team of SVPU FSB of Russia;
3rd place - team from Elizovo.
It is divided into pistol shooting, rifle shooting, and rifle shooting at a moving target. It is produced by a bullet from rifled weapons: pneumatic (4.5 mm), small-caliber (5.6 mm) and large-caliber (6.5 mm - 7.62 mm for rifles and 7.62-9.65 mm for pistols).
Targets are printed using a printing method on dense white or cream-colored material. When pierced by a bullet, such a target retains the outline of the bullet hole without excessively rough distortions and tears along the edges of the hole. The sizes and dimensions of the hole advantage zones are different, depending on the type of weapon and the distance from the line of fire to the target line.
Nowadays, all major international competitions are held using electronic target systems that determine the value of a hole by acoustic, optical or combined methods.
Every year, shooting competitions at various levels are held: from regional tournaments to world and European championships. Currently, the rules of the International Federation shooting sports(ISSF) for bullet shooting there are 15 men's and 9 women's exercises that are included in the programs international competitions. Mandatory Olympic program includes 6 men's exercises and 4 women's. Within the framework of the Russian Shooting Union, competitions are held in 46 exercises.
In official ISSF documents and results reports of international competitions, short names of exercises are used, including the shooting distance, type of weapon and number of shots (for example: “50 m Free Rifle. 3x40 shots”).
In Russia, an abbreviation has been introduced for each exercise - two letters and numbers. The letters indicate the type of weapon (VP - air rifle; MV - small-caliber rifle; AB - (army) standard large caliber rifle; PV – arbitrary large-caliber rifle; PP – pneumatic pistol; MP – small-caliber pistol; RP is a large-caliber pistol (center-fire revolver), and the numbers are the serial number of this exercise in the national sports classification on bullet shooting.
Types of shooting
Rifle shooting
Rifles for performing sports shooting exercises are divided by type: pneumatic (caliber - 4.5 mm), small-caliber (caliber - 5.6 mm) and large-caliber (caliber - from 6.5 mm to - 7.62 mm). All types of rifles must be single-shot (except large-bore standard rifles, which may have a magazine). The distance from the firing line to the target line is from 10 to 300 meters.
To shoot from a rifle, the positions taken are “prone”, “kneeling” or “standing”.
“Lying” position: the athlete lies on the ground or a special mat, leaning on his elbows. The weapon must be held with two hands and the right shoulder (for a left-handed athlete - the left). While aiming, the shooter's cheek can be pressed against the butt of the rifle. The forearms are clearly separated from the mat. The forearm of the left hand supporting the rifle must form an angle of at least 30 degrees with the surface of the firing position. The use of a gun sling is permitted.
Kneeling position: the athlete sits on bent leg, under the rise of which a roller is placed. The foot of the leg in front, the knee and toe of the other leg are on the ground or on the mat. The weapon is held with two hands and the right shoulder. The elbow of the left hand holding the rifle must rest on the left knee and cannot be displaced from the kneecap more than 100 mm forward or 150 mm back. The use of a gun sling is permitted.
Standing position: the athlete is standing. The weapon is held with two hands, the right shoulder, the cheek and part of the chest near the right shoulder. The butt rests on the shoulder of the opposite hand. The use of a gun sling is not permitted.
Athletes are given at least 10 minutes to prepare for the exercise.
The use of special shooting suits and boots is permitted.
Prohibited use optical sights, but it is possible to use a vision-correcting lens.
Pistol shooting
Pistols for performing sports shooting exercises are divided by type into pneumatic, small-caliber and large-caliber (revolver). Air pistols of 4.5 mm caliber are permitted, operating on compressed air or compressed gas and loaded with only one bullet when firing. All air pistol pellets must be made of lead or a similar soft material. Small-caliber pistols - 5.6 mm caliber chambered for side-fire. Large-caliber pistol (center-fire revolver) - caliber from 7.62 to 9.65 mm.
Pistols and revolvers can only be fired while standing, holding the weapon freely outstretched arm.
In speed exercises, the competition rules impose a special requirement on the preparation before starting the exercise: the hand with the weapon must be tilted down, at an angle of at least 45 ° to the direction of fire.
When performing the exercise, the shooter must be in his assigned shooting position (firing position), without moving beyond the front boundary of the firing line and without leaning on anything during shooting.
Before the start of the exercise, shooters are given time to prepare depending on the type of exercise. The use of optical sights is prohibited, but the use of a vision-correcting lens is possible.
Shooting at a moving target
Shooting at a moving target is carried out from single-shot rifles. For shooting at 50 m, a small-caliber rifle (5.6 mm caliber) chambered for a side-fire cartridge is used. For shooting at 10 m - an air rifle (caliber 4.5 mm), operating on compressed air or gas. The use of optical sights is permitted. At 50 m the magnification of the sight is not limited, at 10 m the magnification is limited (4x). The use of special shooting jackets is permitted.
For shooting at 50 m, a “Running Boar” target is used with a drawn silhouette of a boar and a target located in the middle of the body.
For shooting at 10 m, a target is used, as for shooting from air rifle, but with aiming dots located on the left and right (electronic target), or a paper target with an aiming dot between two targets.
The targets move alternately from right to left and from left to right, passing through an open space - a “window”. The passage of a target through a “window” is called a run. The target must pass the “window” in 5 seconds when running slowly, and in 2.5 seconds when running fast. Only one shot is fired in each run. In each half of the exercise, before the scoring runs, the shooter is given 4 test runs - 2 on the right and on the left side of the movement. In trial runs, the target moves at the same speed as in the subsequent test series. Shooting at moving targets is carried out only from a “standing” position and occurs from a dismounted position, and before the target appears in the run window, the butt of the weapon must be at the belt.
