You guys are hilarious.

Where's the 'pull away' and 'collapsing lead' discussion?

Pull away means sticking the gun right at the target, moving with it, and then pulling out front while pulling the trigger.

Collapsing lead means swinging through a spot in front of the target. It actually works sometimes... and some targets virtually demand it, like a battue.

What is the most important thing about all this? Whatever technique you use, finish the shot. Follow through with head down. The muzzle should finish up in front of where the target breaks or folds.

It does become instinctive... and you don't have to think... much... but it takes a hell of a lot of targets to get to that point.
