Leading the Target: Sustained Lead

The two most common methods of leading targets at long distances are swing-through and sustained lead.

• The sustained lead method is a little more challenging because it requires more experience.
• You estimate the length of the lead necessary to hit the target, and maintain that lead as you swing with the target, fire, and continue the swing.

As a beginner shooter, we recommend practicing with the swing-through method of leading. You will likely enjoy more success.
