Truth is, a bird hunter has every imaginable form of lead in his pocket and will use them all in the course of a season. The snap shot in the last millisecond before the bird passes out of sight (should'a seen him sooner), the sustained lead on a high dove (not recommended but I do it anyhow), the swing through when the bird surprises you from behind(always while my legs are twisted in brush). And there's no way to guess which will be used or when. It's just instinctive. Even clays will frequently mix two of the leads. Only snap shooting will be left out (except when I finally remember it is a doubles and not single). So, buzz, there's no real answer......
