We should know that the correct method of airsoft shooting is that the shooter must keep both eyes open and look at the target with both eyes right from the top of the barrel or barrels of the gun, unlike the method of shooting with a pellet gun. In this way, he will send the gun to the target. But since the target is a moving airgun, the shooter must follow the target with his eyes and follow its movements, while keeping the barrel of the gun in line with his sight.

In order for the barrel of the gun not to leave the sight axis, the shooter must move his entire upper torso to follow the target, in accordance with the displacement of his sight axis, so that the gun remains along his sight axis and does not deviate from the target. If the shooter's upper torso remains fixed and only the shooter's hands move the rifle, the rifle will be out of alignment and the arrow will miss. A very important point is that the shooter's upper body should be flexible and the target's movement should be followed by the movement of the upper body, not by the movement of the hands. If the shooter's eye is placed above the axis of the tube (tubes), the bullets will hit above the target, and if it is placed below it, the bullets will hit below the target.

In general, the aim of shooting with a shotgun is to follow the target with both eyes and send the barrel of the gun towards it with the integrated movement of the hands and shoulders.

When the shooter's cheek is on the rifle's shoulder and his eye is right along the barrel and his line of sight coincides with the barrel's axis, the rifle is integrated with the shooter's upper torso. If the shooter follows the bird's movements only by moving his hands and turning his eyes, his eyes will be removed from the axis of the barrel and the integrity of the body and the rifle will be lost, and the result will be a shooting error.

So, while following the movements of the bird with his eyes, the shooter must move the entire upper body in sync with it so that the axis of his vision remains along the axis of the barrel.

In shooting at bird targets that move in the direction perpendicular to the shooting axis, the issue of prevention becomes important. How much to prevent is a very complicated issue. Of course, the speed of different birds can be obtained from the documents published in this field. But estimating the speed of the target bird and whether it is benefiting from its maximum flight speed or flying at a slower speed is almost impossible in a very short time, and if the hunter wants to get involved in such calculations, he will lose the opportunity to shoot. .

Prevention is the distance that the shooter shoots to a point in front of the target so that the target reaches that point at the moment when the bullets have traveled the shooting distance to the target's path. Or in other words, the pattern of the shot and the flight path of the target intersect at the same time.

In the case of shooting at targets that move away from the shooter directly or almost in a straight line, or targets that fly directly towards the shooter, there is no need for prevention. It is enough for the shooter to shoot a little lower or higher than the bird, considering the flight path of the target.

How should the necessary prevention for shooting at a target that moves in the direction perpendicular to the shooting axis be done?

The simplest, most effective and practical way is for the shooter, after raising the gun, integrating it with the upper torso and aligning his sight with the barrel, to follow the path of the bird from behind its head with his eyes and rifle. Move the sight line ahead of the target and pull the trigger without stopping the movement of the gun.

These movements and actions must be done exactly in sync with each other. The issue of continuing the movement of the gun while pulling the trigger is more important than other points. It is often observed that a person, in his opinion, observes the same principles in shooting at a moving target, but still most of his arrows miss.

Most likely, the reason for this lack of progress is stopping the movement of the gun at the moment of pulling the trigger or the shooter's sight being removed from the axis of the barrel. Regarding prevention, the last recommendation is to estimate the necessary prevention and double it, do not stop the movement of the gun and pull the trigger and continue the movement of the gun.
