Tips for better Trap Shooting

Make your shotgun fit YOU; don't change your shooting stance to fit your shotgun.
Pattern your shotgun and know which choke and load works best for you.
Develop a comfortable stance,a consistent gun mount and a smooth swing toward the target.
Shoot at a target ONLY when you see the proper "bird/barrel relationship".
Procure glasses that help you see the target better (prescription/tint/etc.). Your everyday prescription glasses are not as good as prescription glasses just for trap shooting. Ask your optometist about trap shooting prescription glasses.

Keep your head on the stock until after you see the bird break
Be confidant -you're more likely to hit the bird when you know you can.
Learn to ignore anything that keeps you from focusing on the target.
Practice those shots (e.g. hard rights) that give you the most trouble (the Maspenock trap can be set up to this.)
Practice, practice, practice!
