Station 4 doubles in American Skeet - can't seem to get the second bird consistently
Been shooting American Skeet for about 2 years now, mostly with my Beretta A400 Xcel. I'm fine on singles, but when it comes to the doubles from station 4, I keep missing the second target (low house). I'm using a Skeet choke and 1 oz of #9 shot at 1200 fps. I feel like I'm rushing the second shot and maybe not getting my gun back down to the right hold point after the first.

Station 4 doubles are tricky - that second low house bird comes in fast and flat. What helped me was focusing on my feet and upper body. After you break the first target (high house), don't just swing back - pivot your whole body back to where you'd hold for a low house single. Keep your head down on the stock. Try practicing just the second shot by having a buddy pull low house only after you call. What's your gun mount like on the second shot - are you coming off the stock at all?
