What should you do when swing shooting to successfully hit a moving target?

When swing shooting, the key technique is to point your shotgun at the target and then swing with it. This method allows you to maintain proper lead and alignment with the moving target, ensuring you are on the right trajectory to achieve a successful hit. By following the target's movement, your muzzle effectively tracks the target, allowing for a smoother shot that accounts for the target's speed and direction.

This approach is crucial because a stationary aim or simply firing when the target is in your sight does not take into consideration the distance and speed of the target. Holding your position and waiting for the target to come to you would likely result in a missed opportunity, as targets in motion require anticipation and adjustment in aim. Similarly, firing immediately without proper lead can lead to misses, as the target could already have moved away from your line of fire by the time the shot is taken.
