Someone else mentioned stance and I’ll see if changes on #1. As far as Brownings, I’m using a Citori Lightning 28”

I assume you’re shooting from the 16 yard line, so you will be breaking the bird while still rising at about 37 yards. Although I’ve shot less trap than skeet or sporting, on #1 I hold about a foot above the left corner of the house, focus my eyes (without moving my head on the stock)about three feet above the center of the house, that keeps my eyes off the gun (if the barrel is in focus, you’re not looking at the bird), and allows maximum focus on the target when it appears. Use a smooth move to the target and shoot when you have the proper lead (side to side) and are a hair under the bird.

Your side to side lead, even on the most angled targets is not that much in trap.

Good for you! Keep at it and one day it will all “click’ into place and you’ll feel completely at ease in all positions. Try changing your position a bit on all five shots. You’ll soon find the sweet spot where it “feels” good. Welcome to a great sport.
