Struggling with consistent leads on station 4 high house in American Skeet
Been shooting American Skeet for about 5 years, mostly with my Browning Citori 725. I'm solid on most stations, but station 4 high house gives me fits - I either shoot behind or over-lead and miss completely. Using a Skeet choke and Federal Top Gun 1-1/8oz #9 loads at 1200 fps. Anyone else have this specific issue?

Station 4 high house is tricky because it's that perfect angle where the target's moving away but also crossing. I had the same problem until I started focusing on my hold point - try moving it about a foot left of the high house window and maybe 6 inches higher than you think. The target's actually climbing slightly as it comes out. With those Federal loads, you've got plenty of shot, so don't overthink the lead - just see the target, mount, and shoot where it's going, not where it is. What's your gun mount timing like on that station?
