For shooters with a well-known target lead, sustained lead shooting is a great strategy. This strategy allows you to shoot slowly with minimal movement while moving instantly to the next bird. This strategy is especially useful for loopers and battues. Unlike other lead shooting techniques, sustained lead shooting doesn't accentuate the vital follow through. This can increase the chance of vertical error but makes for a better shot.
Shotgun
There are a few things to remember when practicing shotgun sustained-lead shooting. First, the muzzle velocity should equal the target's. This will determine the location of the bullet on the target. You should also shoot faster for long clay bird shots as well tight cover. Finally, follow-through is very important. You must maintain consistent form. Aim and lean towards your shots. Last but not least, never forget to pull the trigger.
Rifle
In sustained lead shooting, the lead acquired from the target comes under the barrel and continues to travel down the barrel as the shot charges to intercept the target. This technique is great for targets that move fast and are faster. Sustaining lead is more precise than swing through shooting. The shot is much more precise as the lead travels through barrel at constant speed.
Shotgun with a larger caliber shell casing
If you want to shoot longer lead in a shorter amount of time, a shotgun featuring a larger caliber shell chamber is the best choice. This shotgun uses a larger shell case and follows the same rules that all other shotguns. A larger shell casing will allow for heavier lead loads without breaking speed records or creating too much pressure. This type of shotgun offers several advantages.
Skeet shooter
Spot and sustained lead are the main two methods of shooting on a range. Both use lead to hit the targets. The best choice for skeet firing is sustained lead. It keeps the muzzle close to the target. In other words, the shooter must aim the barrel at the bird before pulling the trigger. The gun will continue to move after the shot.
Bird shooter
A very important skill when shooting birds is to sustain lead. It requires a shooter to be able to maintain an accurate, consistent lead without the use of a shotgun reload. This technique is different from swing through lead shooting. The shooter holds the lead in front of the target and pulls the trigger when the bead passes it. This technique is ideal if you are a beginner shooter or a newbie to the sport.
Shotgun with a 20-gauge lead ball
If you have ever tried lead shooting using a shotgun, then you will know that the muzzle must be aimed at your target. You can use sustained lead when shooting at a certain distance. Because skeet targets have the same dimensions, it is simple to calculate how much lead to shoot at each one.
