Practicing with a flashlight
Watched a video on trap shooting practice. Can't quote where, but what the gal did there is she had a flashlight stuck in the barrel and showed how to practice the swinging while seeing where the spotlight is.
I can dig up the link if you want me to. Problem is, I tried a half dozen small flashlights (I happen to love flashlights) and none of them fit in a 12ga let alone a 20ga. Any suggestions? |

A Streamlight Stylus Pro might fit (0.6" listed diameter vs 0.73" diameter of a 12ga shell), but you may have to remove its clip.

What about a wooden dowel taped to a flashlight. Then wrap the inserted part of the dowel with tape till it fits enough not to fall out.

The light need not be inserted into the muzzle. A small light, especially one whose beam can be narrowed, can be taped or wrapped to the end of the barrel.
Doing this can be helpful in smoothing your gun mount movement. |
