It's actually a lot easier, the proof of which is that you will bust more clays.

And it doesn't take long. You start getting better right away. Like in a couple or three rounds. You have to be consistent. This means, if you are a rifle or pistol shooter, forcing yourself to open both eyes before you call "pull" and keep them both open until after the shot.
I started with a 20" barrel Mossberg 590A1. I'm now using a Remington 1100 I bought at Wal Mart for $328, thanks to a thread I saw here. Good luck.

Dave, good post. Hope things pick up and your range days stay good.

Sam, simplifies and explains it all with FOCUS. I believe it. I always shoot better when my attention is on the bird, not on my gun (mount, sight, trigger) or my stance. FWIW, I am trying to keep both legs slightly bent, not unlike a golfer, and about a twenty to thirty degree offset from the POA.

Regards to all.
