In 2019 I had the privilege to compete in the K&M Gap grind as an AM, the one round I aced and enjoyed thoroughly was the transition and movers round , i think it was 500yrd movers for 5 then to 200, 400 and 600yrds static back to 500yrd movers for final five. dialing and thinking on each shot I managed to ace the round which I guess was to the surprise of my Pro and buddy Gerald Delk, as I really didn't do well on the movers in practice and nerves on the first day really got to me. Gerald had me using the trapping method and in fact once you knew your lead it was easy to move and trap with confidence. Watching this brought back the memories and as a professional deer hunter and full time deer manager in Scotland I have used this technique on live animals to great effect in fact recently n a small Roe Buck travelling on a fenceline who seemed wounded and moving rather quickly. So it does have its practical uses too.
Rest easy Jim…the voice of shooting..both you boys I’ve loved many yrs and so sad to hear this….mom n dads got a fine friend today and know there on heavens range….hang in there John……matt
I would argue that target speed is irrelevant. What matters is the rate of change of bearing to the target in conjunction with the time of flight. Also, he forgets to mention that greater lead is required for the same target when using trapping. Shooter reaction time becomes a factor, which in itself is variable with a whole range of factors. Using tracking eliminates that.
Really enjoying your content here. Thanks!

Great info!
Great video!
Side burns are slipping.
Magnification!! Yep
That was good stuff!
It’s very handy to know exactly how fast something is going. How is that determined in real life? Is there a method?
Useful,, thank you.
