I'm sure that somewhere in this forum I have mentioned this little pearl of shooting wisdom - "Don't make the shot happen, let it happen." What this means is to concentrate 100% on your technique, the shot firing is a result, not a conscious action.

That is tough for us old skeet and sporting clays shooters, as the trigger is slapped and not squeezed. We have to completely change game plans.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.
