As stated above shooting from the 27 yd line is difficult but a lot of fun. Many trap games such as protections and annie oakly's are shot from the 27 yd line. You might want to gear-up just a little if you plan shooting much from the 27. As a rule of thumb you can shoot pretty well from the 16yd line to the 24 yd line without a great deal of difference in your timing and leads. When you go to the 25 yd line things change a little. As you move back the amount of movement of your gun decreases. It appears you can shoot faster because you do not have to move your gun as far but you should avoid the temptation to shoot faster. Keep you head down (on the stock), look at the target and smoothly swing to the target. Practicing in this manner will prepare you for long yardage shooting.
