Crazy right? Heard it on a podcast and i was like 'dafuq he just say?'. I think he's right though. I base that on having done lessons with some former world champs and current top shooters where one thing stands out- none talk about leads when teaching. What they ALL talk about is seeing the bird well and adjusting your setup (barrel hold point, body/feet orientation) to give your eyes the best chance of seeing the bird well enough to seemingly slow it down.

Ok second direct tip since you gave me permission to behave like a 6 year old at an adult dinner party who was just politely asked about comics- gun mount being of obvious importance many will fully mount the gun then call 'pull' and try to track the bird. This can make it hard to see so instead mount the gun then do a downward shrug to get it slightly out of your face as you call pull. Shrug back up as your tracking the bird and ready to break it.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
