I shot sporting clays for a while. Although I never acheived a very high level, I did train with a pair of top teachers. One of the fundamentals was to have fixed eyes (zero motion) as you call for the bird. I believe that it is a sign of a quiet mind. We were also taught to picture the break points beforehand. One more piece was what they called relative speed. When you move in sync with the target it appears to slow down. The analogy they used was cars on a freeway. If you are sitting still, they appear fast. As you accelerate to their speed, they seem to slow down. I don't know how it all relates to golf in real terms, but it is another example of training and using the mind for peak performance.
