The "average" shot, if there is such a person, shoots at the goose ........ the above average shot shoots at the goose's head. This is also consistent with many of the better shots' practice of focusing on the leading edge of clay bird, and watching the quail's head on the flush.
I think I have told this before, but for the sake of making the point I will again. There was an old quail hunter near Athens, GA, back in my college days. A friend of mine hunted with him and said he was the deadliest shot he had ever seen, and asked him how he learned to shoot quail with so few misses. He thought a moment and replied, "Well, I don't know. All I know is that when I see his eye clearly I shoot". Anyone who has ever had a covey of wild bobs take off will understand the discipline required to do this. Kinda like Ted Williams being able to see the seams on a fast ball.
