How much lead?

[Skippy]

Well, that was atrocious! Nothing like the lesson I had, missed almost 3 in 4 , no matter the trajectory.
Embarrassing! Frustrating!
I was rushing too much, not settled, gun all over the place.
Some were really hard, direct into the sun, really fast, some only showing for a couple of seconds before disappearing behind leaf cover, others very low and fast, Most guns struggled tbh, even the best only got 57 from the 70, then 54, 51 and then into the 40’s .
Damn, need to find a barn door to practice on!

Someone advertised a sighting/training aid on here some time ago. It was a square U shaped device that clipped onto your O/U barrels and was meant to ‘frame’ the clay and give you a picture of where you were in terms of lead, height etc. I’d never seen such a thing but thought it could be a useful device. I never know why I’ve missed a clay, and if you ask the lads behind the cage to watch what you’re doing, you just get ‘behind it mate’ cos they haven’t got a clue either.

A tip I heard some time ago is to use a cartridge box

Empty your box of carts into you pocket and rip the top and bottom tabs of, this gives you an oblong box. Hold this to your eyes, and call a bird. Without moving your head , you will see the trajectory of the bird

Supposedly it gives you a reference where the
Clay will start / stop

Shoot them in the box before they load them into the trap?
