Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

When I miss, I'm ALWAYS behind them, always!

Both open. Looking at target and not gun
Edit: I have tried with pistol and I cant really do it at any sort of distance on small targets

I feel like when I miss I've taken a poor shot.. distance, something of that nature. if its not the case then I'm just mumbling cuss words.
Ducks, it throws me off if I dont see them fly before the first time.. I feel like I start leading them too much. Once I hit my first it's ingrained in my head
It's not like I'm flailing at them or anything.. it might be a shot or two. And it kind of depends on what kind of hunt I'm opening up on.
I shoot pistol and rifle both eyes open. Early November, I am taking a Scholastics Sporting Clays training course looking forward to learning more about helping the kids also hoping to gain some insight into my inconsistency.

As most know, you really have to let your instincts take over when you think about it too much that's when it all goes to hell in a handbasket

But yep, I know I was 4 feet behind one bird last week and it burns me up.. taking a bad high ass whipping through open pines, breaking into the field hauling ass...
It's fun helping them out, Fish came out our second hunt and worked with one of my son's friends... to me birds are easy, you start to get into some tough set clay courses and you can separate people..
I think instincts in confidence plays a big deal in wingshooting, like golf.

You have to shoot where the bird is going. I have never killed a bird by shooting where he has been. As stated above. It's all about lead. And you very seldom miss a bird with too much lead.

What's all this about not leading a bird enough? My most consistent miss is out front.
And shooting, golf, casting a bait caster, etc... is all feel and rhythm. Like throwing a baseball, you don't stop-set your feet-square up to your target-turn your shoulders-aim the ball. You look at your target and throw.
I am at my best when it's quick instintive shooting. Point, swing, fire. 47 years of shooting doves and I can still killem with out weaing glasses. We have had a real good year so far with birds.
I have never shot a round at a skeet range. Might have to give it a try and see how an old dove shooter does with the skeets.

I grew up being taught as a swing through shooter. I've gone to basically all pull away over the years, and there will be some kind of point shooting involved once or so a week..
