Struggling with my lead on left-to-right crossing shots from station 3 in American Trap
Been shooting for about 2 years, mostly 16-yard line. I can break most straightaways and right-to-lefts, but those left-to-rights from station 3 are killing me. I'm shooting a Browning Citori CX with a Modified choke, using Federal Top Gun 1-1/8 oz #8 loads at 1200 fps. I've tried swinging through and pulling away, but I'm consistently behind.

That's a classic tough shot - the angle from station 3 makes that left-to-right feel faster than it is. With your setup, try a sustained lead of about 2-3 feet in front of the bird instead of swinging through. Your Modified choke is fine for 16-yard, but make sure you're not stopping your swing when you pull the trigger. What foot position are you using on station 3? Sometimes opening up your stance a bit toward the right house can help you get on target quicker.
