Guide: How much lead to give a goose (steel vs lead)

Browning X Bolt 2 Cashback
Calculate the lead and use trigonometry to establish that at the muzzle, it's a very small amount.

Watch a great tennis player, the approaching ball is decelerating, accelerating towards the ground and lifting due to spin and perhaps wind. You can provide him with a book full of calculations will it help him? He keeps his eye on the ball and let's learnt reactions handle it.
 
Gooses - simple. Head is the size of a clay pigeon. Look at that and shoot it accordingly. Ignore the body. And ignore the flock of geese. Concentrate on the head and swing through that.

I also think its a mistake to use too big shot. You want a nice dense pattern so you get plenty of pellets on the head and neck.

Lead of course yeah....
 
A lot depends on a lot ! However the thing most must learn shooting steel at geese is speed up your swing . The large yet light steel shot slowes-up a lot faster than lead looses pace . Shoot inside 40 ish . or it will end with the loss of birds hit but never recovered .
BBB steel 1/2 choke
