Why You Miss Over the Target

The short version: Your shot keeps going over the top of the bird. It looks like aim, but it's usually the gun, the mount, or the stance putting the muzzle high. The cause is specific — and findable.

Tall shooters miss over more often, and it's tempting to just “aim lower.” That treats the symptom. A high miss almost always comes from how the gun is built, how it's mounted, or how the body is set — and each has its own fix.

About the method. These guides come from the coaching system of Bill Erdőss, an Olympic clay shooting coach, built around one idea: diagnose the cause of a miss, not the symptom. The same logic powers ClaysBuddy's shot heatmap, which finds that cause in your own rounds and tracks whether your fix is working.
