Get a lesson from a certified istructor. It will shorten the learning curve.

Im an NSCA instructor and I teach a new sporting clays student to make their break point where they can see the bird the best. Go one third back to the machine for your hold point and keep the gun just below the birds line of flight. A right handed shooter would point his left toe at the beak point. Thats oversimplified but it gives them a place to start. We fine tune it from there.

You can do something similar with skeet. Use the center stake as your break point. Go 1/3 to 1/2 back to the house for your hold. If you feel rushed move your hold point out, if you feel like you waiting on the bird move it back towards the house. Point your toe at the breakpoint. Keep your gun slightly below the line of flight. Again thats oversimplified, but its a place to start.

Dont let other shooters tell you where your breakpoint should be. Only your vision and reaction can determine that.
