Thread: Advice please

You are a cruel man!! I actually thought it was quite good
I don't normally have much trouble with the loooong targets but can make a real mess of closer ones I must say!!
It's bloody hard to tell someone, but standing right behind will give an indication, but that is all.
There are very few people that can see the 'grey' cloud of shot, and I'm not one of them.
I think listening to every expert at a gun club is probably the worst thing that you can do as a beginner.
Most clubs have a coach or someone who can guide you, but practice and competitions and your own 'memory bank' of targets shot
will see you thru, and you are always learning.

+1 Your wee pic is pretty much all you need to give you a start and idea as a sustained lead shooter.
TBH I wouldn't have an accurate Idea where I shoot as far as lead goes.
Sometimes long crossers look like I have only 4ft on them and they break and other times have 20ft on them and they break. I just pull the trigger when it looks right.
