I recommend you shoot some skeet with an experienced instructor to learn some leads.

Crossing shots at ducks more than 30 yards away can require 4 feet of lead or more, depending on the range and their flying speed. You also need to learn to keep the gun swinging after you pull the trigger to keep the lead you saw at the moment of firing.
