Preconceived idea

As a newcomer to this Trap shooting business, I developed some preconceive ideas about shooting. One, use only one barrel during shooting to ‘get’ the feel for accuracy. This idea comes to mind in order to reduce shooting expenditure. Tried and tested, and only managed to get a maximum of 8 hits out of 25. Hmmm... another shooter advises me to use both barrels. Ok, I’ll try his idea.

Two, you must see the clay perfectly aligned with your barrel before shooting. I could see the clay but my body reaction was too slow to get the alignment. Another fellow shooter advises me to just assume the speed of the clay. Once you see the clay is going left, just shoot on the left without waiting for the alignment. 

Are these good advices?
