Overhead clays

I’m having trouble with clays that come from behind overhead. Have you any tips?

Tony says: With an overhead target you can be looking up into the sky with no reference point, so we often see inconsistent hold points that cause inconsistent line issues. There is no magic fix for this but rather an awareness to pay attention to where the gun is held. We often see shooters standing normally waiting for the target to come to them, by which time it could be dropping rather quickly and getting further away. Tilting your head back to get a better visual pick-up point could help you engage with the target sooner and at a more optimum time. This can sometimes be achieved by turning your head to see it coming. The other fault to watch out for is shifting more weight than normal onto your back foot when looking back for the target, only to have to transfer it back onto the lead foot. This movement added to the swing of the gun can cause an excess in speed and misses in front.
