A previous post regarding seeing a "bird-bead" picture vs shooting aggressively and not seeing that image was very interesting and helpful to me.
In my prime (27 yard) I would shoot very quickly/aggressively and never had to lead a bird ... not even a hard right from station 5 (I suppose the speed of my swing was giving me an automatic lead). Now, much older (and because I was unable to shoot for 10 years due to horrible health issues), I find myself "rusty" and shooting much slower and having have to lead targets if I want to break them but shooting much lower scores. Maybe I just need to shoot 500-1,000 practice targets per week for a while and get my confidence back so I shoot faster again.
Those of you who see the bird-bead relationship, as well as those who do not see that picture, do you lead your targets or shoot "right at them"?
I really appreciate any help/guidance you can provide.
