Try and watch some of the Todd Bender videos on YouTube. Search for Todd Bender,Tips on shooting Hi2. it may help. Maybe have an experienced shot help you or even have a lesson.

If it is beating you I would try moving my hold out from the house a small amount, maybe a foot on the baseline.

I set my feet facing the low house window. It's sounds like your hold point is good. I mount to the break point then wind back using my legs, not twisting my body then lower the gun from my shoulder. I look slightly left of the barrel straight out to the base line. Try and put your eyes on the exact height the bird comes past to pick it up early. What lead picture do you see? I find I need to shoot right at the front edge of the target to break it or my gun speed carries me way out in front.

This is a link to Todd's cheat sheet. It explains a basic repeatable setup for each station. It's meant for NSSA skeet but the principles work for English skeet, it just shows station 8 instead of a station 4 pair.

Todd Benders video's are quite good. Bought his singles DVD and had a lesson with him last year. It really helped my scores. Here is a trailer for his Doubles DVD with a small amount of info in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXRqTNfczug
