Well shot string might not get any targets but on a hard left,I get a chip on the left edge,,,,,,I have to think I hit it with the tail end of my shot string...
Years ago there was a fellow that measured shot string with a station wagon and a boat trailer with about 16 feet of cardboard affixed. I think it was,40yds,40mph,and to get all the shot on the cardboard,the lead was the back of the car.(too risky for my blood) So I guess,you can miss a little in front but not a bit behind,yes..
About a year and a half ago I sent to some folks a little program that showed perceived and actual lead. Seems that a 35mph target with shot going 1000 feet per second,a 90 degree target and a 35 degree target have the same actual lead,but not perceived lead. Whiz and Devi were two that I sent it to.
GOOD LUCK
