If you’re a shotgunner, Gil, Vicki and now, Brian, Ash always have a must-attend seminar. “If you’re thinkin’, you’re missin’,” Gil likes to say about shotgunning. The Ashes have taken the confusion out of the visually confusing action of shooting a moving target by researching the science behind it and explaining things in easy-to-understand ways. “Follow you nose,” Ash says, then uses people watching a tennis match as an example of how our noses point to a moving object. The Ashes are confident that if you simply practice their Three Bullet Drill, Flashlight Drill and your gun mount twice a day for five minutes a day for 21 days, it will improve your sporting clays score by 30 percent and your field shooting by 50 percent.
