Leading the target.

This week I’m going to talk about my problem children, pertaining to skeet that is. I have the most difficulty with stations 3, 4 and 5. At these stations the clay pidgins fly from right to left in 63 feet front you. The thing I’m having an issue about is the amount lead I need to give the clay target. Because the bird is moving so fast and you’re so far away, you need to shoot in front of it. Some say you need to shoot 3 feet in front of the target so by the time the lead shot gets 63 feet out it meets the clay target.
