That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Swing-through is considered the best technique for beginning shotgun students to develop a rapid, fluid response necessary to hit moving targets effectively. This method involves starting the shotgun's barrel behind the target, then accelerating past it, and firing as the barrel moves in front of the target. This approach helps beginners build intuition and feel for the target's motion, fostering a more instinctive shooting style. It's particularly useful in bird hunting and clay pigeon shooting, where targets are in constant motion.
