What is the method of shooting at a moving target called, where you estimate the length of lead necessary to hit the target, maintain that lead as you swing with the target, fire, and continue the swing?

  1. Snap shooting

  2. Sustained lead

  3. Swing-through method

  4. Trap shooting

The correct answer is: Sustained lead

The sustained lead method is the best option because it involves estimating and maintaining the necessary lead to hit a moving target, as well as continuing to swing with the target while firing. The other options do not involve estimating and maintaining lead, and trap shooting specifically refers to a specific type of shotgun shooting. Snap shooting involves quickly aiming at a stationary target, and the swing-through method involves starting behind the target and then catching up to it before firing - neither of which involve maintaining lead with a moving target. Therefore, the sustained lead method is the most accurate method for shooting at a moving target.
