Do enough dove shooting and you learn that.
Notice I mention the "actual shooting method" in a post above. Anytime you are leading a target you are swinging the barrel. There are different methods used to establish lead. However we know that in any manner we establish lead we cannot swing the barrel fast enough to spray the center core of the shot laterally by several feet.
With all the discussion, some may have got lost. "However we know that in any manner we establish lead we cannot swing the barrel fast enough to spray the center core of the shot laterally by several feet"
GC's comment is dead nuts due to the actual time involved(fps) the shot is traveling.
ON running coyotes, remember to leade them (what ever your method) and do not stop your swing, you will shoot behind them every time if you stop your swing which also applies to a rifle also.
