I got stumped by a tough sporting clays target

[Hitman01]

At a recent sporting clays shoot, I faced a low, quartering-away target that came out from behind bushes and dropped fast. I shot over 40 times, I tried every lead, method, even changed chokes but couldn't touch it. For an average shooter, how do you figure out tough targets like that?

I'm really curious to hear about it too. I'm actually thinking of joining this local clay shooting event, and it would be awesome to know more

Try starting with exaggerated leads and work back toward the target.

Were you using a low gun mount or pre-mounted?? That could make a difference when those birds come swooping down fast.
