This issue of how to see lead has been argued and worn out for years, and we will never settle it here, but I CAN tell you how I see it. They say you cannot focus on something ahead of the bird that is not there, probably true, but I can tell you exactly how far ahead of the bird I was every time my gun goes off. I "see the gap" between my muzzle and the bird. I translate that gap into feet of lead AT THE BIRD, not inches at the muzzle, like most women see it. I never think feet while swinging on the bird, my subconscious handles that from it's 55 year old wingshooting memory bank, but I can tell you what it was after the shot is triggered. How do I know how far my muzzle is in front of the bird when I'm focused on the bird and not the muzzle? The muzzle is clearly in my peripheral vision, out of sharp focus of course, but plenty clear enough that I know what the gap is. Just the same as it is when I shoot directly at an incoming dove's head. I am focused on his head, but my muzzle/bead is very obvious to me.
