I shoot some very lightweight guns for doves and quail, and the style I have to use to shoot well is exactly as you described. I, too, have to trigger the gun almost as soon as my cheek hits the wood. If I track the bird, even a short piece, like I do with a heavier gun, it's almost a guaranteed miss. The guns I have to shoot like this weigh from 4 - 14 to 6 - 7. A skeet field is a good place to practice this style shooting.
