When hunting with a shotgun, what is the purpose of the swing-through method?

  1. To spread the shot directly on a moving target

  2. To spread the shot directly above a stationary target

  3. To spread the shot in front of a moving target

  4. To spread the shot behind a moving target

The correct answer is: To spread the shot in front of a moving target

The swing-through method in hunting with a shotgun is used to spread the shot in front of a moving target. This is the most effective method as it allows for the spread of shot to intersect with the target's flight path, increasing the chances of hitting the moving target. The other options, such as spreading the shot directly above or behind a stationary or moving target, would not be as effective in hitting the intended target. It is important to remember to aim ahead of the target and continue the swing through after firing to effectively spread the shot in front of the moving target.
