[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1636522, member: 108965"] I've shot several running Coues deer and Javelina, and here is what I've found, At 100 yards I lead it around 6 to 8" with my 7x08 and a little less with my 7mm Rem Mag, at 200 yards I lead it little over 2 feet. At 300 it's around 3 and a half feet. These are on an animal running full speed. I've done tons of dove, quail and duck hunting in the past which helped tons on learning to shoot moving targets, also used to practice on moving silhouettes at 350 meters. The 10' lead at an elk at 300 yds is way off, you'll hit the elk behind it. Coyotes are great for practice on moving targets, they are fast and small, and fun to shoot. If you can hunt hogs in your area in open fields that's a another great way to practice on moving targets. When shooting at moving targets there's what we call the "follow through" which means you keep swinguing the rifle/shotgun when you are pulling the trigger. Otherwise if you stop you fall behind and miss the target or end up with a gut shot or hit a hind leg. [/QUOTE]
