Hard focus on every target, or bird, is paramount, as Jerry said. When I am doing so, I realize, occasionally, that I can see the rotation of the clay, as well as the ridges on it. I am always shooting well when that occurs. It seems to slow the bird down, too.

When I can maintain this level of concentration and hard focus for a whole round of 100 birds it is physically exhausting on me. My best round ever in a big tournament was a 186/200 at the NWTF shoot at The Meadows one year. After I finished on Sunday I was so exhausted from the mental toll that I didn't feel like driving home for over an hour. Crazy.
