Craig, RE: Angle of departure:  Robb mentioned motion perpendicular to the shooter's position.


However, the distance the coyote moves in said time of bullet flight is nearly the same--  could be 5 feet to the left, 5 feet to the right, 5 feet straight at you, 5 feet away and left... There's only a small amount of change in bullet flight time with change in coyote's position.  Using Robb's example above, if a coyote was at 100 yards moving straight away, and moved 4 feet, he'd now be at just over 101 yards.  i don't think that would change anyone's "100 yard" hold.  The fact that you launch in front of him by that 4 feet, THAT's the important thing. 


As Mr. Cronk mentioned, swinging thru the coyote's line of travel before touching off allows you to really only estimate how much in front of him you need to hit, INSTEAD of trying to guess where the coyote is going to be.


Anyway, don't listen to me, i suck at running shots.  Practice, practice, practice.
