[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 685695, member: 17844"] I think you should use the sustained lead method . The USA call it " tracking " . You start the swing behind the coyote and match it's speed and then pull ahead the amount of lead you need and squeeze off . This should all happen in one smooth sustained swing. The point where you squeeze off the shot can vary from on the beast to way in front. The lead needed is a function of the range and speed of the target the speed of the bullet and the speed of your trigger release. I would be inclined to use a scope that can set any elevation required on the scope turret straight up so no hold over while swinging is required as this tends to divide your concentration on the correct lead . A slow poke on the trigger will need more lead than a quick snap shooter. So noone can tell you exactly what lead you will need precisely . The best that we can do is generalise . Running targets are an instinctive thing and you need to have a mind picture concept of the leads you need in certain situations as outlined by c_bass16. You can calculate the rough leads you need for certain ranges ,angles and target speeds using a ballistic program . Then you have to practise . After a while you get a kind of muscle memory swing and mind picture of the lead required coming together at the one time in the one smooth motion and bang the coyote hits the dust , it's a kind of zen moment where you did it but after , you are not quite sure how but you can do it over and over . In my case I have never seen a coyote but that matters not , any moving game will give the same type of practise . [/QUOTE]
