Am fond of Russell Marks stuff on go shooting whether I need to hear it or not. He and his wife aren’t full of ego like say not a real trapshooter Gil Ash, lol! Also I typically watch the ISSF channels broadcasts of the various bunker finals around the globe
I think I could sit and watch that for a while. Soothing lol

Watching videos is a good way to get acquainted with trap shooting, but the only way to improve is by getting out and doing it.
Trap (and other shooting sports) are a game of self correction. Instructions and videos merely show you how other folks are successful. Their methods are not likely to work for you.
It’s my $.02, and it only worth that much.

I didn’t say that he was the best shooter around. How about let them watch them and come to their own conclusions?

I'm with you. I'd rather watch almost anything else.
OTOH, I'd rather shoot wobble trap or bunker than any other shooting sport, be it shotgun, rifle or handgun.

A gentleman showed up at my club a few years back.
His first round was scoreless. Directors retrieved me to help him out. By the end of that evening I had him breaking in the low 20’s. He made a negative comment towards the videos he’d been watching who’s info the had employed to start with. I asked whose videos he was watching to try and learn from and he stated Gil Ash.
Enough said!

After having seen a couple of videos from Gil Ash, I can totally understand that. That's one of the reasons I quit watching Trap Videos. Another was some british guy talking about Sporting Clays.

It’s sad that access is so easy for these people to access the internet and poor unknowing new people access these video segments actually expecting to gain knowledge and insight.

The other statement made about so many instructors of various types is: just because they can’t perform to the level of their supposed effective teaching doesn’t mean that they don’t know what they’re teaching.
How many people would take instruction from a martial arts teacher that couldn’t perform what he was teaching? How many would want to take instruction on survival from someone that couldn’t survive in the wilderness.? How many would want to take quick draw from someone as slow as molasses?
But they have videos on You Tube.
2nd this recommendation.

Be careful of only accepting advice from accomplished shooters. Probably the best coach in the NFL (Belichick) never even played professionally.

I can attest to that. I had 2 competitive water skiers try to teach me how to get up on a single. They both agreed on how to do it and they were both wrong. I proved it to them and they were very surprised.
Second thing I experienced was in R/C aircraft. I taught myself how to take off and fly around but the landings were little
more than controlled crashes. Had the local Instructor teach me and it was no help. Finally I had him land my plane while telling me what he was doing. I watched his hands on the controls and the plane at the same time. What he said he was doing and what he was doing were two different things. From then on I had no trouble landing.
