Advice on Clay Pigeon Shooting

Look at the target only, not the "beads" on your shotgun.
Move the gun to the target as soon as you see it...make sure you get to it before you fire.
Look at the target and you will naturally move the gun where you are looking
Keep the gun firmly against your shoulder to avoid bruising from the ricochet of the stock
Feet together, lean forward slightly, swing the lower body from the hips swing smoothly - body, gun (and soul) should move as one unit.
Hearing protection is a must.
Important to keep the barrel of your gun moving in front of your target (maybe 1 or 2 barrel lengths)
Squeeze...and watch the target burst (if you are on form) but remember that clay pigeons asre not as tasty as the real ones, or the Frango Piri Piri served locally !
