I am 63 and I can "focus" as Batha means it, for a little longer than that. But, really, much longer than that is not necessary when shooting sporting clays. I've heard that stuff about focusing hard enough to see the rings, and at times I can not only see the rings, I can tell you which direction the rotation is. But, that is not necessary to break a clay in flight. The reason they say all that is to get your mind off the muzzle/bead and onto the bird.

Bill McGuire's method is absolutely the best for a man who, like the majority of us, cannot shoot clays several times a week. It emphasizes an economy of gun movement, and is much easier to replicate every time for the average Joe (jOe). I talked to Chris recently at a shoot. He is a standup guy who really believes what he teaches. Bill, is a standup guy too, who happens to utilize the same stuff he teaches to win or place in the money at nearly every tournament he enters. Watch "Focus and Fire" if you want to see a video that can really make a difference in your sporting clays scores.
