Struggling with crossing targets on station 3 at my local sporting clays course

I've been shooting for about 2 years and my scores are stuck. On station 3, I'm consistently missing the crossing targets that come from the high tower. I'm using a Browning 725 with a Modified choke, shooting 1-1/8 oz of #8 shot at 1200 fps. I think I'm stopping my gun swing when I pull the trigger.

That's a classic issue - I used to do the same thing. Station 3 at my club has similar presentations. Try focusing on maintaining your swing through the target, almost like you're going to shoot where it's going to be, not where it is. Keep your head down on the stock and let your eyes guide the gun. What lead method are you using - sustained or pull-away? Might help to know which one you're trying.
