most of you guys may have already done similar to a tip that was dropped on me this year. My hunting partner and I had been practicing on water filled milk jugs on a pulley system this year, but to be honest we could not get any real speed on the targets. Both of us have become quite adept at smacking that jug with the .308's out to about 100 yards but after trying to put a deer in the scope at 75 or so while running and how much they bounce around I chose not to try with the exception of a slower moving target. an old timer told me about an "old" trick where you put a cardboard target in a tire, and have a parter kick the tire down a hill and take safe refuge behind backstop. Keep the net nannies at bay here - i'd not shoot near the tire kicker, the object is to have an area where the tire can get away from the kicker to a point where you are actually shooting away from them with a good backstop behind the target. I can think of a few places where I hunt and shoot that this would be practical and deployable - I'm considering this kind of practice.
anyone got additional methods of practicing this type of shooting? Keep ethics discussions out of this, eash shot/opportunity is unique and i've pulled up more often than pulling the trigger by a long shot, but i've also been presented with alot of opportunities where it would have been nice to be a bit more skilled in hitting a mover. I've also seen folks smash the crap out of deer and hogs on full tilt run before and frankly, i'm jealous and want to improve on this.
