    Find someone at the club who is a good competitive shot and wins competitions .
    Ask them to show you how to set up from each position ( feet and where to hold the gun etc ) , don’t overload yourself with every aspect of the sport which is the problem every new shooter encounters .
    Keep it simple and work on the base fundamentals - feet & hold point .
    George Digweed who is probably the greatest living Shotgun shooter says that most targets are missed by two feet , not two feet out at the target but the two feet your standing on . If your not set up properly you are hindering yourself even before you call pull .
    As you get better add new things to try but only after each step is ingrained.
    Ask for help from knowledgeable people that have proven results, the problem with many clubs is that the most helpful people are often not very good shots . Even if the top shot won’t help you , watch what they do you can learn alot from watching the shooter not the clay .
    FALL IN LOVE WITH THE NUMBERS , NOT THE IDEA
