[QUOTE="tcob68, post: 684984, member: 29435"] I'm definitely don't claim to be an expert, but, I've shot quite a few running coyotes, 99.9% that's the only way your going to get a double or triple. First off I would recommend using a bolt gun, because you know you have to make that shot count, unlike with an AR type you won't concentrate on the shot because you know that you have several shots as fast as you can pull the trigger. Second you have to determine the distance and speed and angle of the dog, this just comes with practice. I think one of the most important parts is follow thru, squeezing the trigger while the rifle is still swinging, if you stop you will shoot behind them almost every time. You can tell alot about how fast a coyote is running by watching their bodies, it will tell you alot. I usually don't attempt moving shots if it requires hold over, to much to compute in very short time. I just put the dot where I usually shoot'em and then swing the dot out in front while keeping the horizontal part of the reticle on their body, when I'm comfortable with the placement I squeeze the trigger without stopping the swing. The cross hair with dot helped me with running shots alot. I hope this helps and good luck. [/QUOTE]
