[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 560, member: 25"] I am currently working on an interesting shooting topic - hitting moving targets - for some magazine assignements. I would appreciate any advice or info that members of this forum might have on shooting at moving game. Particularly interested in hearing about shooting styles, procedures, successes and failures and what distances you guys feel we should even be shooting out to. The tactical guys have some interesting training and "calculations" for movers, and I believe we should be using their knowledge for our hunting shots. I don't expect anyone to do my work for me, I have a lot of experience and opportunities - including the Portatarget electronic moving target system that is providing accurate data on lead and moving marksmanship. I just thought that we all might benefit from a discussion on how to hit moving critters. I know that this is not Long Range as such, but there are some shooters that consistently make 400+ yard shots on moving game and that is a long shot in my books. I just got the moving target system going and have already determined that trigger squeeze will make or break the accuracy of each shot. We tend to focus on lead and follow-through but jerking the shot high with an "un-smooth" trigger release is a very real problem - at least it is for myself and my ammo-eating son. There is so much experience on this forum that we all might gain from sharing views on this topic - and I hope to gain some in-sight for my writing. I would prefer that we share info via this forum but welcome any direct e-mails if you prefer. ian [/QUOTE]
