I also prefer a MX-8, 31 1/2" bbls. 7 1/2 shot. Like Smallbore I killed the first five straight I ever shot at. My technique is to basically "waste" the first shot, shooting the first barrel as fast as I can after picking up the the bird. Even if I do miss him with that shot my second shot has a better chance of killing him inside the fence.
Background and wind are huge in flyer shooting.
After killing that first straight I walked back by the other shooters and one older guy said to me "Son, this may just be the worst thing that ever happened to you ". He may have been right.
