[QUOTE="Allen, post: 235644, member: 389"] You are over thinking your shots. That and practice, practice, practice. The key here to the practice is that you get muscle memory developed on getting the proper alignment of your barrel to the bird as the gun gets shouldered. In a nutshell, once you have plenty of practice you will find that you're no longer "aiming" the shotgun, you shoulder and squeeze the trigger as soon as the gun is in place. This is the difference between shotgun and sniping with a rifle. Look up "Churchill Method" for shooting, it is about as close as I can come to describing how I shoot. I find that if I miss the opportunity to pull the trigger as soon as I should, I am now trying to aim the gun and the net result is I miss more often. I bit the bullet, so to speak, and signed up for the summer clay league out at Capitol City Sporting Clays. This FORCED me to shoot, plus it was just a downright good time. After not hunting much over the past 4-6 years, I'm back to about as good as I was before the lull in hunting. Which maybe ain't great, but it's a lot better than I was at the beginning of the summer. [/QUOTE]
