Bird hunting South Africa and a boatload of shooting tips from a master teacher

Upland Nation

If you don't learn something that makes you a better shooter, well, the Olympic shooting team has an opening. Don Currie is a bird hunter and the chief instructor of the National Sporting Clays Association. His instructional DVD “Focus – Movement – Faith” is the #1 rated sporting clays DVD on Amazon.com. And he's here to help you hit more birds and clay targets.

"You kill birds with your eyes, not your gun," Don says. From practice techniques to gun fitting for DIY-ers, buying youth guns to foot position and gun mount, Don has tips for any level of shotgunner. But first, we travel to South Africa, where he's hunting big game and a number of waterfowl and upland birds.

"Road Trip" offers some practical tips on vehicles and safe stopping places for your dog, and listeners offer their best gun-care advice.
