Left Barrel syndrome

I noticed the other day that if I took 2 shots at a target, I always hit it with the second shot. I started focusing on keeping my eye in the center of the receiver, but I’ve noticed that I tend to tilt the gun slightly to the right, so the left barrel is higher than the right. This happens on my Parker and with my CZ Upland .410 (dual trigger, English stock IC/Mod)

I’ve noticed that if I do low gun, I seem to hit about 50/50.

Am I over thinking this, or am I shooting a SXS wrong?

There is about a 1 inch difference in the length of pull between the front and back triggers. Perhaps the LOP of the back trigger is a better fit for you. When I shoot trap I always use the back trigger and most of my trap configured Parker's are full and full. I do it because it feels like a more natural hand position when I am shooting with a mounted gun.
