Struggling with sustained lead on long handicap targets
I've moved back to the 25-yard line in American Trap and my break percentage has dropped from 90% to about 70%. I'm shooting a Browning Citori CX with a 30" barrel, using a Modified choke and Federal Top Gun 1-1/8 oz #8 loads at 1200 fps. I've tried pull-away and maintained lead, but I'm consistently missing behind on the hard left and right angles. Anyone else experience this when moving back?

Been there! At 25 yards, that sustained lead needs to be more aggressive than you think - especially on those extreme angles. Try switching to a Full choke and give yourself a solid 4-5 feet of lead on station 1 and 5. Also, check your foot position; I found opening my stance a bit more toward the house helped me swing through smoother. What's your follow-through like after the shot?
