Crosser conundrum
I seem to give left-to-right crossers more lead than right-to-left ones. Is this normal or do I have an underlying issue?
Tony says: There are two possible reasons for this, assuming you are right-handed. The first thing is to recognise that the lead should be the same whichever direction you move the gun if the speeds and distances of the targets are the same. The way the gun is pushed into your cheek on a right-to-left crosser can differ from a left-to-right crosser, where the gun could move away from your cheek. You should try to keep the cheek-stock connection as consistent as possible. The other possibility is that your stance could be restricting your body movement, moving the gun to the left more freely than to the right, creating our natural forehand and backhand swing. This can be overcome by adjusting your feet correctly for each shot.
