Struggling with consistent trigger timing on long crossers at station 3
Been shooting sporting clays for about 5 years, mostly NSCA events. At my local club, I consistently miss the long left-to-right crosser at station 3. I'm shooting a Browning 725 with a 30" barrel, using 1 oz #8 loads at 1200 fps. I feel like I'm seeing the bird well and getting on it, but the break is always behind. Tried both sustained lead and pull-away methods.

That's a classic tough target! With a 725 and that setup, you've got the gear dialed. On those long crossers, I've found trigger timing is more about footwork than hand speed. Try setting up with your left foot slightly forward (if you're right-handed) and really commit your weight to that front foot before calling pull. It locks your upper body so you can focus on the swing. What choke are you running? Sometimes a tighter constriction like an IM can give you a bit more forgiveness on timing. Anyone else have tricks for station 3?
