Can't seem to hit anything with my new Beretta A300, am I doing something wrong?
Just got into sporting clays and picked up a Beretta A300 Outlander. I'm using Federal Top Gun 7.5 shot at 1 oz, 1200 fps. At my local club, I'm missing almost every target on stations 1-4, which are going-away shots around 25-30 yards. I feel like I'm pointing the gun right at them but the clays just keep flying by untouched.

Welcome to the sport! That's a solid starter setup you've got there. The most common issue I see with new shooters on going-aways is they're actually shooting behind the target. Our eyes naturally want to look at the clay, not the lead. Try this: pick a spot about 2-3 feet in front of the clay, swing through that spot, and pull the trigger without stopping your swing. Don't measure the lead, just react to it. Also, make sure you're not lifting your head off the stock - that'll throw your whole shot off. What choke are you using in that A300?
