Just started shooting trap, can't seem to hit anything past station 3
I'm brand new to trap shooting and got a Beretta A300 Outlander with the factory modified choke. I'm shooting Federal Top Gun 1-1/8 oz, 7.5 shot at 1200 fps. I do okay on stations 1-3, but once I move to 4 and 5, I'm missing everything. I'm trying to lead the targets but just can't connect.

Welcome to the sport! That's a super common issue for beginners - those right-hand targets from stations 4 and 5 can be tricky. First, try switching to a full choke for those stations since you're shooting factory loads. More importantly, check your foot position - you should be pointing your lead foot toward the trap house, not straight ahead. For station 4, try holding your muzzle about a foot in front of the trap house opening and maintain that lead as you swing. What's your hold point looking like right now?
