skeeter,

You received Sage Advice from GOB and skeet. I am not sure I can add much because no two shooting situations are ever the same and thus NOT programmable like, "lead by 3.1 feet." Why?

-because not all birds are at 40 yards, some are at 36.2 yards.

-some birds are crossing shots and others are quartering away.

-sometimes the wind is 12 o'clock, sometimes 6 o'c and sometimes 2:10 o'c.

Ah, but do not despair because wing shoot is an Art and NOT a Science. Therefore, do as skeet said and SWING with your eyes on the bird/clay. Finally, sometimes you connect and other times not. That is the fun of wing shooting and the beauty of an expanding shot pattern down range.

Never say: "Man, that is a lucky shot I thought I'd miss." Man up and act like it is supposed to be that way when you connect. LOL.

Adam
