Hitting crossing shots in Sporting Clays

Targets may come from right or left, singly or in pairs...will usually be close and quick through trees and vegetation, simulating woodcock. Targets should be taken as quickly as possible.

Eye focal-point and gun hold-point should be close to the trap. Mounting the gun during tracking and swinging through targets is imperative. Lead: minimal, due to closeness and rapid gun swing. Skeet shells and open chokes are best here.

For Report Pairs – Dismount and remount the gun for each shoot. Simultaneous Pairs – Shoot rear target first and keep muzzle moving to swing through and break front target.
