If you’ve been around clays shooting long enough, you’ve heard of the flashlight drill. You insert a small flashlight in the muzzle of the shotgun, mount the shotgun and then move the barrel along the seam of the wall and the ceiling to simulate the line of the target. It’s a solo drill designed to improve your mount muscle memory, target focus and smooth out your swing through repetition.
But what if you added a second person and a second flashlight?
When carried out with a partner, one person moves the flashlight while the shooter tries to keep their aim on the illuminated spot. This version of the drill adds an element of unpredictability, mimicking the unpredictable nature of live targets in the field.
