Hi all. I took my son out today for his first session with his 870. I let him shoot a few stationary clays from about 15 yards just to get the feel of the gun. We then transitioned to hand thrown clays and out of about 20 he only hit one. By this time his shoulder was getting sore so we quit. He did not seem to lose confidence which is good. I however quietly thought he would do a little better. I told him to let the bird enter his sight plane, find it, swing through and engage when the barrel and bird intersect. I could not think of a better way to explain it and am really not sure that is best as I myself am novice with wing shooting.
What can I do to help and encourage him? Thanks.
