Trying to shoot sporting clays or skeet with a light bird gun can be a challenge, but doable if you start gun off the shoulder, swing through and trust your instinct. This becomes more difficult when the targets are farther out, requiring more lead than a normal swing through provides. Using maintained lead or pull away technique with a 6 1/2 lb bird gun is much different than a longer barreled heavy O/U. Accept the limitations and enjoy the experience.
