Usually in a tactical match sometimes a 3 gun there will be a mover, from 100yd to 300 yd. As good luck a mover can be planned out just like wind drift, so a 5 mph mover is about equal to a 5 mps wind at 90 deg. around 10 mph the difficulty goes way up. Movers are shot just like skeet and movers in steel hand gun. Its almost impossible to calculate a lead and move the gun smoothly along the flight or mover path in any of the shooting sports and get consistent results. A technique should be developed that works well with all the guns. The international skeet mount works very well with movers, and with a little modification works well with handguns. The front sight-- shotgun,(movers in 3 gun or skeet) and handgun or the holdoff marker in the scope are a "timing" point that if the swing is correct, as the marker goes thru the target the trigger press is completed will impart a small angular velocity to the bullet or the shot charge. The technique is modified a bit for shots past 100 yds. since its a precision shot, in that the swing is not really there, shooting off a bipod or fixed position in contrast to the above which are usually standing. A really hard course of fire will show a mover at 300 left to right , next shot at 1k, then back to a 300 or so mover right to left

Dale, thanks for the explanation.
Tactical matches would be a bit different to hunting. I imagine in tactical matches the target moves in a straight line and at a constant speed.
In hunting the target constantly changes direction and speed as it moves over and around objects or bush.
So in the tactical matches it is easier to calculate the lead and use the windage reticule. Edited by 8shots - February/07/2011 at 23:47 |

yes you are correct, but the important part -- it lets you waste a lot primers, in finding the limitations of this type of shot, or when you can go for it. It wasn't part of the op question so I didn't get into it much, but the main use of shooting movers is handgun, ARs and shotguns, where the shots are 5-100 yds. all speeds and angles. Around old cars, buildings hostages etc. I would hesitate at shooting a moving elk at 300 elks from prone, but would have no hestitation shooting a moving elk up to 50 yds with a 44 mag handgun.
