Emmsy Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) Gauging distance of lead is very hit or miss - Pardon the pun. It's really about the speed at which you're swinging the gun. Experiment (No seriously) with a water hose, or squeezy washing-up liquid bottle. Watch how the water acts when you let the water out whilst swinging the bottle. That's exactly how the shot comes out of a barrel. In an elongated string. Just make sure for the fast crossers that your muzzle is travelling faster than the clay. Track behind the clay to get the line right, and then accelerate through the target, pull the trigger when you're in front of it, and - importantly - follow through on the swing. Took me a while to get the mechanics, but when I did, I started to hit the advanced targets regularly. all that happens here is that you swinging the gun faster your sticking more lead on, the shot pattern doesnt bend like water from a hose pipe! im a lazy f3ck, and dont really move my gun much so i allways see more lead on a clay than most.

No, of course it doesn't, it was to try to visualise how important the speed of the gun movement is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
