Here is a good article on stance.

Once you shoulder the gun and line your sights, choose a focal point slightly above and beyond the trap house. That makes it easier to track the bird with your eyes and bring the gun on target. That also gets you on the clay faster. The further out it gets, the harder it is to hit, especially if it has started to drop. |
Thanks! That helps. I need to work on gun hold point a bit higher than the house, and also adjust my feet position for stations 1 and 2.
