Mastering the Chandelle: Tips til sportsskytter af Don Currie, NSCA Chief Instructor
Introduktion
Som lerdueskytte ved du, at hvert mål giver sine egne unikke udfordringer. En af de sværeste er chandelle-målet, der med sine særlige karakteristika adskiller sig fra andre lerduer. At mestre chandellen kræver, at man forstår dens bevægelse, bane og hastighedsovergange. I denne blog vil vi dykke ned i chandelle-skivens indviklede egenskaber og give eksperttips fra Don Currie, chefinstruktør hos NSCA (National Sporting Clays Association), så du kan forbedre din succesrate på disse udfordrende skud.
Understanding the Chandelle
The chandelle target stands out due to three key factors that differentiate it from other targets. First, the chandelle appears to move slower than it actually does because it shows either all belly or all face to the shooter. This visual trickery can lead to mistimed shots and frustration. Second, unlike straight-line targets, the chandelle follows an arcing trajectory throughout its flight path. This dynamic movement demands precise timing and a well-planned breakpoint. Third, the chandelle is in a constant state of transition, changing speed throughout its entire flight path. Adapting to this variation is essential for hitting the target consistently.
Tips til at knuse Chandelle
To boost your chances of breaking the chandelle targets with confidence and accuracy, follow these expert tips from Don Currie. Before attempting the shot, choose your breakpoint and stick to it. Whether it's at the apex or a specific point after the apex, committing to a predetermined breakpoint improves your focus and timing during the shot. Instead of fixating on the entire target, concentrate on the "leading edge" of the chandelle at the breakpoint. Keeping your focus narrow and precise enhances your visual tracking and target concentration.
Match your gun speed with the speed of the chandelle target. Achieving a smooth flow between your gun movement and the target's trajectory improves your focus and target acquisition. When facing a descending chandelle, approach the breakpoint with an upward gun angle. This prevents the gun from obstructing your vision, ensuring a clear line of sight on the leading edge until you execute the shot. It's crucial not to follow the trajectory of the chandelle with your shotgun. This habit can lead to missed shots and frustration, especially with transitioning targets. Focus on maintaining a consistent gun angle and trajectory.
Putting It All Together
Lad os visualisere processen med et eksempel. Forestil dig, at du står på en sporting clays-station med et trap-skud efterfulgt af en hurtig chandelle fra venstre mod højre på ca. 35 yards. Du har besluttet dig for at bryde chandellen ca. 1,5 meter under og til højre for toppunktet, med den forreste kant af målet kl. 4 under brydningspunktet.
To execute the shot effectively, establish your ready position and call for the pair. Break the first target with ease. As the chandelle launches, match your gun speed with the target's speed. Move your gun upward along an 8 o'clock to 2 o'clock line to meet the breakpoint. Maintain sharp visual focus on a dime-sized section of the target at the 4 o'clock position. Finally, pull the trigger and watch the target shatter into pieces.
Ved at anvende disse teknikker og forblive disciplineret i din tilgang, vil du forbedre din konsistens i at knuse de til tider vanskelige chandelle-mål.
Konklusion
At mestre chandelle-målet kræver en kombination af fokus, timing og tilpasningsevne. Som lerdueskytte er det vigtigt at forstå chandelle-skivens unikke egenskaber for at kunne overvinde dens udfordringer. Ved at beslutte dig for et breakpoint, fokusere på forkanten, opnå flow med skiven og bruge den rigtige skudvinkel, kan du forbedre dine chancer for succes på disse udfordrende skud. Husk at øve dig regelmæssigt, og brug Don Curries eksperttips til at løfte din sporting clay-præstation til nye højder. God fornøjelse med skydningen!
