[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1640858, member: 108965"] You'll have to lead the animal while swinging the rifle and pull the trigger without stopping the swing. Thats what follow though is. Your lead will depend on the animal's speed, distance and firearm you are using. Example: A dove going 50mph from 9 to 3 or vice versa will require at least a 2 and a half to 3 feet lead at around 35 to 40 yds with complete follow through, you'll actually see the wad from the shotgun as its going towards the dove, it will give you a good reference of your lead. The point is you never start aiming For a running deer at 200 yds with a bullet leaving the muzzle at 3,000 fps you'll need to aim right on the hair of the front part of the chest while swinging and again, pull the trigger as you are swinging. The swing never stops. I didn't see anyone mention this or maybe I missed it. Skeet with a shotgun is one of the best ways to learn and practice since you will learn to shoot at different angles. Animals aren't always going from side to side. Some hunters wait for the animal to almost run in to the guns aim, they ambush the animal, in my case this did not work for me, and it doesnt work in wing shooting, so I found that leading with a follow through works best.
