How Guns Changed Forever

TGS Outdoors November 1, 2026 4:00 pm

Two World Champions. Two elite shooting coaches. Two completely different philosophies. In this deep-dive discussion, world champions Ed Solomons and Zach Kienbaum sit down to debate one of the most critical debates in clay shooting: Movement vs. Visual Focus. While Ed prioritizes making the safest, highest-quality gun movement and building intuitive technique, Zach focuses on visual connection and dialing in on the bird to let the eyes lead the hands. We break down.... The core differences between "Move, Move, Move" vs. "Eyes, Eyes, Eyes" Why different shooters need different coaching styles How barrel awareness shifts depending on lead and presentation Developing your personal shooting style ("handwriting") over time How top shooters adapt their advice for beginners versus seasoned competitors Become a channel member today - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcQZw5EXW6ixRWEaNnB9E9A/join To get your own ShotKam, go to: UK - https://bit.ly/TGSOutdoors-ShotKamUK USA - https://bit.ly/TGSOutdoors-ShotKamUS Protect your hearing - Use TGS10 for 10% off - www.customfitguards.com Subscribe & hit the alarm bell for plenty more where this came from!

In just a few decades, sporting shotguns evolved from cumbersome muzzle-loaders into the refined, mechanical masterpieces we know today. Along the way, rival gunmakers poured fortunes into patents, fought fierce legal battles, and pushed engineering to its limits. Joined by Simon at Holt’s Auctioneers, we take a hands-on look through 200 years of firearms history—exploring the key breakthroughs, bitter rivalries, and brilliant designs that shaped the modern sporting shotgun.

Go inside the world-renowned Sako Ammunition factory in Riihimäki, Finland, for an exclusive, step-by-step look at how premium hunting ammunition is manufactured. In this behind-the-scenes tour, we follow the entire production process—from forming raw brass cases and precision-machining the monolithic lead-free Sako Blade copper projectiles, to fitting ballistic polymer tips and loading finished cartridges with single-piece flow quality control. Finally, we head down to the underground test range to evaluate terminal performance and expansion in ballistic gelatin.

In this episode of After The Last Pair, I sit down with André Kunz from South Africa’s Flying Target. André has an idea for using shot camera footage to make competitions more exciting to watch, and we talk about what it would take to bring more people into the sport. We also get into André’s shooting journey, the South African Compak scene, competing abroad, target setting, and why good training takes more than simply shooting another round. André picks his dream squad and shares where he’d most like to shoot next. Would seeing every miss make clay shooting more exciting to watch? Let us know in the comments.

After The Last pair 026 - Are We Doing Enough to Grow? | André Kunz of Flying Target
MSJ Online November 1, 2026 4:14 pm
What if spectators could see exactly how close a clay shooter came to hitting a target? In this episode of After The Last Pair, I sit down with André Kunz from South Africa’s Flying Target. André has an idea for using shot camera footage to make competitions more exciting to watch, and we talk about what it would take to bring more people into the sport. We also get into André’s shooting journey, the South African Compak scene, competing abroad, target setting, and why good training takes more than simply shooting another round. André picks his dream squad and shares where he’d most like to shoot next. Would seeing every miss make clay shooting more exciting to watch? Let us know in the comments.

🇫🇷 Can I take on the French at their own National Championship with a borrowed 20 bore? 🎯 For this one we're heading back to France and the beautiful Vendôme Shooting Ground for the French National Petite Calibre Championship! This annual championship is restricted to smaller calibre shotguns — 20 bore (20 gauge), 28 bore and .410 — making it a little different from the usual competitions on the channel. The competition featured 200 targets over two days, shot under French Parcours de Chasse rules, with a fantastic variety of targets and plenty of challenges along the way. As the championship was being held at my friends' ground, Vendôme Shooting, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to head over, take on the French and bring the cameras along! For this event I was shooting a lovely Zoli Expedition EL 20 bore, kindly loaned to me by my friends at Armurerie Raphaël Rathier. A beautiful gun and something quite different from my usual competition setup! In this video I've brought together highlights from across the two days, featuring some great French target presentations, plenty of shooting, a few laughs and the experience of competing in a French National Championship. 🎯 IN THIS VIDEO: 🇫🇷 French National Petite Calibre Championship 2026 🎯 Competing with a borrowed Zoli Expedition EL 20 bore 🎯 Highlights from the two-day championship 🎯 French Parcours de Chasse targets 🎯 Vendôme Shooting Ground 🎯 Taking on the French on their home turf! 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU! A massive thank you to everyone at Vendôme Shooting and the FFBT (Fédération Française de Ball-Trap) for kindly allowing us to film at the championship. Their support and hospitality are hugely appreciated and help make it possible to bring these fantastic French competitions to viewers around the world. A special thank you also to my friends at Armurerie Raphaël Rathier for lending me the beautiful Zoli Expedition EL for the event. 👇 LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS! Would you take on a 200-target championship with a 20 bore, or would you rather stick with your trusty 12 bore? And have you ever tried shooting Parcours de Chasse in France?

Shooter, photographer, coach, target setter and ground manager—Don Brunt has seen clay shooting from just about every angle. In Episode 025 of After The Last Pair, Don and I talk about how he got into shooting, photographing major competitions, and what he’s learned from travelling to shoots around the world. We compare the UK, Europe and America before getting into one of the sport’s biggest conversations: steel shot. How does steel perform on difficult targets? What about recoil and ricochet? And how are shooting grounds preparing for change? We also discuss coaching, attracting new shooters and the targets that catch people out.

With the 500 anniversary being commemorated in 2026, it only makes sense that they would make a new DT 11 that would look and feel different than any of the other ones they have produced before. The DT 11 super sport keeps the mechanics that everybody loves with a new feel of a more agile, nimble gun without compromising, stability and shooting experience.  #custom #beretta92 #beretta #shotgun #italian #sportingclays #clayshooting

I have been a fan of Zoli for a long time due to their consistency of not cutting corners in order to make it more price accessible. Like all other Zoli’s, this gun also has a competition level trigger and lock up systems that ensures this will be a gun to pass to generations to come.  #caesarguerini #custom #customgun #customstock #fitasc #guerini #hunt #hunting #hunters #hightech #shotgun #shotguns #shotgunlife #shotgunworld #shotgunsport #shotgunworld #shotgunshooting #sportingclays #trap #trashooting #skeet #skeetshooting #fitasc #nsca #nssa #beretta #perazzi #rizzini #zoli #blaser #fabarm #fausti #guerini #caesarguerini #krieghof #hunt #hunting #hunters #custom #customgun #customstock #kolar #dt11 #sl2 #sl3 #so4 #so5 #so6 #so10 #mx8 #hightech #summit #invictus

Without question, clay pigeon shooting is an excellent step toward becoming a proficient hunter. To ethically hunt live animals and birds, you need a certain level of shooting skill, which you can develop by practicing on artificial targets. Attending a shooting school can help you refine your technique before heading into the field. While some hunters in the past developed their skills without ever shooting a clay target, today's limited hunting opportunities make clay shooting an essential practice tool. Sporting clays and skeet were designed to mimic hunting scenarios, with targets that replicate flushing pheasants, crossing doves, and running rabbits. Both sporting clays and skeet have evolved into formal sports with competitions, but you don’t need to compete to benefit from the practice. They remain excellent training grounds for hunters aiming to improve their skills.

Read the full article to learn more about scoring in clay target shooting: https://claytargetinstruction.com/blog/how-to-score-clay-target-shooting/ How to Score Clay Target Shooting? In formal clay target shooting, targets are presented either as pairs or singles. In a true pair, two targets are launched simultaneously, while in a report pair, the second target is thrown when the gun fires at the first target. To score a target as "dead," a visible piece must break off from it. Dust puffs and plastic wads do not count as hits. Scoring is essential in competitions, whether informal with friends or in registered events. Larger competitions have official scorers at every stand to record hits and misses. The score sheet is final, and the shooter with the most hits wins the competition. When practicing on your own, scoring is optional and less critical.

How to Score Clay Target Shooting?

In formal clay target shooting, targets are presented either as pairs or singles. In a true pair, two targets are launched simultaneously, while in a report pair, the second target is thrown when the gun fires at the first target. To score a target as "dead," a visible piece must break off from it. Dust puffs and plastic wads do not count as hits.

Scoring is essential in competitions, whether informal with friends or in registered events. Larger competitions have official scorers at every stand to record hits and misses. The score sheet is final, and the shooter with the most hits wins the competition. When practicing on your own, scoring is optional and less critical.

Shotgun Passion with Travis Mears May 5, 2026 10:50 pm

Trying to decide between a semi-auto and an over/under shotgun? This is one of the most common questions in shooting sports, and today we break it down. In this video, we compare semi-auto vs over/under shotguns on the sporting clays range, covering the Pros and Cons that actually matter. You’ll see the difference in felt recoil between a gas-operated semi-auto and an over/under, with real-time shooter feedback so you can judge for yourself. We also dive into: - Recoil comparison (gas system vs inertia) - Reliability and maintenance - Weight and handling - Two barrels vs one barrel – does it really matter? If you’re shopping for your next shotgun, no matter if it’s for Sporting clays, Trap, Skeet, or Upland Hunting... This breakdown will help you make the right choice. Semi-Auto or Over/Under… which is right for you?

We put five recoil pads to the test on a Beretta 694, including FalconStrike, KICK-EEZ, LimbSaver, Pachmayr, and the factory Beretta pad, to see which ones actually reduce felt recoil. A few of the results surprised me, and a couple of pads made it worse. 💬 Want to dive deeper, ask questions, or talk about this video with TFL and other shotgunners?

We're talking to range owners Joe Scull and Joe Pancoast, from Cedar Creek Sporting Clays! Over the last 30 years, Joe Scull has focused relentlessly on building an outstanding local club, a true home for competition shooters. In January 2024 Joe sold the club and handed the keys to first time range owner Joe Pancoast! For the first six months of the year, they worked side by side in a transition period - which has just ended. In this video we’re sitting down with owners old and new, we’re asking how things have gone over the last six months… and what the future has in store.

Devin continues the discussion with Iain Parker, the CEO of the UK Clay Pigeon Shooting Association. This time, balancing tournament difficulty, score your own tournaments, and the CPSA referee training and accreditation program.

The extended interview took place during World Sporting 2024. The series discusses the UK's and the US's Clay Target Governing Bodies, the CPSA and the NSCA. Comparisons are drawn, differences are highlighted! The CPSA does some things incredibly well, and lessons can be learned here in the US (and vice versa). Over the course of the series we'll get into Funding, Mandate, Clubs, Target setting, Tournaments, Referee Accreditation... and, their respective Classification systems!

The content is split into multiple parts and each week we'll focus on two specific segments in a 16-20 minute video.
