With both games, you want to put the shot where the bird is going to be, not where it was when your brain said pull the trigger! On skeet, you basically shoot the round into the bird on the 1&7 house , but as you progress around the semi-circle you want to lead the bird more at stations 2-4, about 18" to 4-5 feet as you progress one stations 2-4, then reduce the lead correspondingly to stations 5-7. Warmed up and in practice I can get in the 20's on skeet. I also use a tighter (skeet ll choke on the outgoing birds and a skeet I on the incoming birds. You always shoot the outgoing bird, regardless of station first, cause it ain't getting any closer over time. I use a 12 gauge, Browning Sitori over under. Walmarts is a great place to buy shells, I buy 12 gauge 8 shot, 1-1/8 dram shell. I need to go more often, especially since I can shoot for free cause my son works at the range.
