Of all the shooting sports, shotgun shooting may be one of the most difficult to master.  Picking up a fast-moving target with your eyes and developing the proper lead and follow-through are skills that take a lot of patience, practice, and persistence.   Whether shooting a bright orange clay bird on a skeet, trap, or sporting clays course, or a real bird on opening day of dove season, your shooting skills will be determined by how much you have practiced.

The good news is that there is always room for improvement.

The bad news is that there are no shortcuts to shotgun shooting success.
