TRAINING- Using Lead and Lag Pursuit

[Perfesser]

I'm trying to help out some folks when I see they could use some. This is an in cockpit view of  how to use lead and lag pursuit.

Nice but hard to be that patient with other Dogz around, shoulder shooting etc. LOL

You'll never sit behind someone that long in a fight. I passed up many opportunities where I would have been shooting. This is how to make those first shots count.

The idea is NOT to sit in behind the bad guy in a sustained turn.  There's no point in shooting if the bad guy is so far under your nose you can't see.

Go lead pursuit, close the range then go lag pursuit so you have a low deflection shot.

This demo makes it easy to see how lead and lag help your situation close in but in those long sweeping high altitude fights it's often the only way to get a shot at all.

 

Next I'll start training exercises in shooting itself.
