The only valid advice I can give you Jack is based on why I think I miss so many skeet targets. I think my problem is that I jerk the trigger, pulling the gun down, and close my eyes momentarily and shoot under many. Classic flinching that becomes painfully obvious when I have a shell not go off for some reason. Last time out in the woods I decided to work on that issue. I made it a goal to see the clay at the microsecond that it broke and for some reason, having that as a goal, I did notice a big difference. I never closed my eyes and broke 61/63 clays that I threw. These were easy straightaway climbing clays from a step thrower, but still that's far better than I usually do. The ones I missed were ones that I intentionally let get out to 50+ yds. Anyway it worked for me and I intend to work on that further. This is the same advice found in any good shooting book really when they tell you to concentrate not on the pheasant but on the pheasants eye. I also highly recommend the books by Bob Brister, either edition of Robert Churchill's shotgun book and the DVD mentioned earlier, which is very good. I loan mine out to friends who are teaching their kids to shoot.
