Daz W You obviously know your stuff. As you correctly say, establishing lead at a distance is always difficult for all shooters...... and especially NOOBs.
The phenomenon of perspective means our ability to judge the correct lead...... especially at longer ranges. In other words, if we take a 50-60 yard crossing shot as an example requiring a big lead and tell a new or intermediate shooter to give it the 12-14 feet it needs, he won't have a clue what you are talking about. Teach him the Unit Lead methodology, show him what a unit of lead looks like and tell him to give it 5-6 units at the muzzle and he will be right in the middle of it. Without looking AT the muzzle of course.
Read everything, crossers, droppers, chandels, rabbits a etc. on a SC course in a few hours, not years. As I say I am in Wyoming at the moment I will be happy to explain more when I am back in the office on 7th July.
