The only difference between the

"Smoke Trail" technique and "The

Method" is the manner in which

the trajectory and the speed of the

target are established.

As the name implies ,"Smoke

Trail" means the muzzles of the

mounted gun are brought from

behind the target (up it's smoke

trail), then with it and so ahead and

following through after the shot as

with "The Method".

This technique can be useful in

creating and maintaining the

necessary "swing" and "follow

through" required.

It is often the technique naturally

employed by those who shoot

mainly driven pheasants and has

been taught as

"Bum - Belly - Beak -

Bang!"
