Struggling with sustained lead on long handicap targets
I've moved back to the 27-yard line in American Trap and my break percentage on the long lefts (stations 4 & 5) has dropped from 90% to maybe 60%. I'm using a Browning Citori with a Modified choke, shooting 1-1/8 oz of #7.5 at 1200 fps. I've tried pulling away but I'm either behind or overleading. Anyone else have this issue when they first moved back?

Been there! At 27 yards, that left angle from stations 4/5 is brutal. With a Modified choke and 7.5s, your pattern is getting thin out there. Two things that worked for me: First, try a tighter choke - I switched to a Full for anything past 25 yards and saw an immediate improvement. Second, on those long lefts, try focusing on your foot position. Open up your stance a bit more toward the left corner of the house - it'll help you get your body into the shot instead of just your arms. What's your foot position like currently on those stations?
