Swinging the gun on waterfowl

[fabsroman]

I read an article in sporting clays magazine that talked about the different types of swings/leads a shooter can use. Believe it or not, there are about 12 of them.

What is really funny is that I use the swing through method on most of the close, slow moving birds, and I pull the trigger as soon as the gun covers them because I know it will be in front of them by the time the gun goes off. On some of the longer shots way out there, I use a swing through method and switch to a sustained lead for a split second before I pull the trigger. On the fast movers, I just get right out in front and start firing. With a fast moving target it is really tough to use a swing through method because by the time you get the gun caught up to them they are gone. If I can find the article any time soon, I will post it on here for you KT. Shoot a lot of sporting clays during the offseason and try the different methods.
