When Im shooting DTL, Do I mount my gun and then call for a bird, or do I have to call for the bird and THEN mount and shoot.? or does it not matter..?
Ive only shot DTL twice, and as a newbie I kinda felt that if I was doing it wrong, theyre not pulling me up on it because Im new and learning.
Thanks in advance.

Olympic skeet utilises the same ground as Standard Skeet. The rules are different in that the gun must start at the shooter's hip and only when the target is released brought into the shoulder.
There is 0-3 second delay from the time the target is called until it is released and the involves less singles and more doubles to make a round of 25 targets.

How about using the other shoulder ?

Using dust shot or bullets?

Bullets! I’ve seen one hit amongst a LOT of attempts. In fact - the one hit I did see, may have been a delayed clay failure - but claimed as a hit nonetheless lol
