Thanks JW but I don't have any place I can shoot skeet. I live out in the booney's and there's not much that goes on around here. I could probably find a place but would have to drive quite a ways. I do have a thrower and I shoot clay pigeons but don't have any problem hitting them. I think the angles is what gets me. I might not lead a bird or I might lead too much. Also, when they are flying away, I have trouble and I thought that was supposed to be the easiest shot. I don't know, I love to go and will not quit even though I get frustrated at myself sometimes. Thanks for all the info. I just thought I might try some bigger shot or something. I noticed that mine are 2 1/2's, would that make a difference? Thanks again!!
