At 25 mph a coyote is moveing 36.6 feet per second. Lets just say he is shooting a .223 with a 55 grain bullet @ 3000 fps. At 300 yard the flight time is .4 seconds. That means the coyote traveled 14 feet past the point he was at when you pulled the trigger by the time the bullet reaches him. I never would have thought it would be that much difference either till I read Gerry Blair's book. This is all figured on a full speed broad side shot.
