Struggling with consistent leads on station 4 high house in American Skeet

Been shooting American Skeet for about 5 years with a Beretta A400 Xcel, 28" barrels, using Federal Top Gun 1-1/8oz #9 at 1200fps. I'm hitting maybe 7 out of 10 on the station 4 high house crossing target. My hold point is just above the window, but I feel like I'm either overleading or underleading inconsistently. Anyone else have this issue?

Station 4 high house is tricky because the angle changes everything. With your setup, try moving your hold point to the right edge of the high house window instead of above it - that'll give you a better visual on the target's line. For lead, I visualize about 2-3 feet out front with that Federal load. Also, make sure you're not lifting your head - that A400 has great balance, so trust the mount. What choke are you running? Sometimes going to a true Skeet choke instead of IC can help with that confidence factor.
