Matt, I think we can do better than that next time.A step at a time....

First, establish that your master eye and hand are on the same side,ie, you're right handed and right eyed. Easy test, look up to the corner of the room where two walls and the ceiling meet. Point at it with your strong hand. Now close your right eye. If your finger seems to move off from the corner, you're OK.If not,you have mized dominance.Then, your choices are to learn to shoot from the other side, or to close your left eye.

Second, many folks used to shooting rifles and handguns keep wanting to aim a shotgun. Focus on the target, the bead is no more than a reference point in your peripheral vision.

Third, the easiest way to learn to shoot where a clay or bird is going is to swing through the target and trigger as it passes. Short shots, trigger a little sooner,longer ones,hold off a few microseconds.Practice will help your timing on this.

Modified choke is a little tight for ten yards, nigh perfect for 30.

Stay with the light loads, 1 oz, 2 3/4 dr eq will do fine.

And do not get discouraged, it'll come.

If it'll help, feel free to PM me for advice.

HTH, Dave...
