I slowed this video down 8X's normal speed, the entire shot sequences occurred in a matter of a few seconds! I dropped that first sow with a Head Shot....However, I "killed" that fencepost at least twice.. Practice..that's what it will take..

Obviously, the practice is paying off or you would not have hit it a second time, but if it doesn't stop moving after the first shot, then you should put another into it ASAP to help anchor it, lest it get away. hammer

Aside from military gunnery ranges and some jury-rigged gizmos by individuals, I don't know where you can really get practice on targets at multiple distances, speeds, and sizes that also change distances and directions. I think that for that sort of situation, 'practice' comes with experience. However, you are learning from watching your vids and that is good.

Fence post should be slow cooked and you will probably need lots of gravy.

Actually, I have found fence post to be a tad tough for my palette regardless of how it is cooked. cheers

There is that range up by DFW airport where you shoot live rounds at a video screen, they don't run back and forth but they vary in distance, speed, and size. It is big over in Europe and Canada.

I've not yet tried it just saying it is out there from a practice standpoint.
