mchughcbLast Year Small Game Hunting
I decided to hunt all last year with a 20G for small game and I was not giving anything over a 12G.

Glad you liked it. I've got a 20g three barrel coming in on special order so this year hopefully will be 50% more action lol!

Explain the red dot to me plse.
If I get it right it's basically on the camera under the barrel and not a sighting device for you. ie you can track the shot / shooting afterwards on your screen. Correct ?

mchughcbYes. You can align red dot with your aiming point using a mobile phone app. You do not see the dot during hunting, only when you replay video on your computer. It is a good way to check your point of aim after the hunt.

LongwalkerThis was educational for me. Nice to see how birds and small game are hunted in Australia! I do a lot of shotgun shooting for birds and small game in Canada. My perception of the lead required to make a hit is quite different than what was shown in the video. Thinking about that, I believe the difference is whether the gun is moving through the target or not. I tend to shoot with a "swing through" method. To my eye the lead I need to make a hit is less than half of the leads shown in this video. Surprising what a difference it makes vs "sustained lead" method as used here. I'd be interested to try out one of those cameras and test the theory.

would you please inform us - what app and camera you were using?

mchughcbThe camera is the ShotKam 2018 and the application is ShotKamPro which you can get from google play.
it has made a big difference for how I perceive sight picture and how to playback misses and understand why.

NakihunterExactly my thought.
With swing through I tend to shoot behind on a bad day and with method there shots seemed to be in front.
My snap shooting is also a variation of swing through.
I am a very ordinary shot with a shotgun.
Really cool fun hunting.

Hunt InterI often watch your videos on youtube and find them great. I've started using a Silver Pigeon 28bore a lot now with 22gr loads and really happy with its performance.

mchughcbGreat stuff. I'd love a 28 bore at some stage. Got my eye on a triple 20G this year for now so maybe next year or if a bargain pops up I'll grab it.
