Good point. I would suck at both at the moment. Hopefully gunna get back into clays once my roster allows, I am missing the shits n giggles. I would be lucky to be a C grader in pole dancing, need heaps of practice.

Can I ask how you know your shooting high ?
I have done abit of clay shooting , and I have only ever been in the presence of 2 people that I believe can call exactly where the shot went in relation to the target , and even then they are standing directly behind you looking down your barrels as you shoot . One of those was a World Fitasc champ and the other was an Australian champ .
I cringe when I hear squad members giving other shooters advice about where they are going wrong , alot of the time those advisers have no idea and no real knowledge of the shooters technique , and the line and speed of the target in relation to the barrels when the shot was triggered .
Pattern your gun and also try shooting at a straight going away target , if your gun has an adjustable stock either shims or adjustable comb start of with it low and slowly raise it up until your smoking the target . Set the target up dead straight and resonably low ( not climbing ,going up high )

Good luck , happy shooting , but remember advice given even in good faith is more often than not "Wrong"

What I was going to show was the lead needed on a clay.
It was to give the origional question some clarity as to exactly how much lead he needed in thery.
I do not think most casual shotgunners know how much lead to give targets. They think shit I'm miles in front and usually they are NOT
If you put a clay on a post and measure out the required distance then look at it over your shotgun, it will give an indication of how much is required.
All theory I know but it is a start.
In practice keep your weight on the front foot, that should stop you shooting over targets, and at 40 meters get well thru the target and keep going. Do not stop the gun.

I thought it was showing how much madds misses by on average ha ha

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.

I must agree, the brain takes over and says NOW and sometimes it's right!!
It is really an idea for someone who has absolutely no idea. It's very hard to explain shotgun shooting, it's really just instinctive and lots of fun.

On that note it reveals that I must have a lot of brain fades during a round of sporting.
