Default RE: Hunting buddies Needed - First post

Thanx guys... :-)

I did buy some clay targets and one of those hand throwers. Did a little practice and FINALLY figured out the sight picture needed for aiming a shotgun. WOHOO!!! Went from missing with three shells the first 5 or 6 clays to 3 outa 5 first shot clay kills by the end of the case. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Basically, I was trained on the old iron sights and a shotgun doesn't have the rear sight. Now I just have to get my reaction times a LOT faster cuz those birds don't give you the setup time a clay target does... Can't holler PULL when you're ready for 'em. hehe...

How far ahead do you shoot? On the straight-in or going away shots I'm good. The crossing shots I'm about 30%. Do you shoot right at the head? Lead 2 inches? 3 inches?
