    The bird to my minds eye seems to think that the slight left bird from the number 4 position is a straight shot target. I keep missing that darn thing. I try a small leed to the right edge but no help..... what is the hold on this target??????

    Set a trap up to throw only soft lefts and stand on station 4 until you get it. No one on here is going to be able to tell what you’re doing without seeing you shoot.

    Might try putting your barrel just to the left of the bird by about a barrel width/half barrel width and see if that helps.

    Hold for a straightaway. You could be canting your gun. this would make you shoot to the side of a target. If you are holding for a right angle you could be over swinging to the left. Lot's of reasons to miss .
