Re skeet station 8 as practice for hunting: That's the one bird I shoot premounted, even when I shoot everything else low gun. That's mainly because it's not a shot I'd ever take in a hunting situation. You have a bird that close when hunting, if you want it edible, you should pivot and take it going away. I'll occasionally do that--turning away from the rest of the squad--if there's a bunch of guys who don't mind. Or, you can simply call for the high while facing the low, and vice versa.
