Default RE: Shooting at moving targets?

Shooting at moving targets is something that you either have or dont have from what I have seen. I have tried to teach my sister, and she just cant learn. She can keep sub 1 inchgroups all day off a decent rest at 100 yardsbut as soon as she has to move the gun she is off. When shoot at moving targetsI try to get an idea of the distance and the animals speed. Then you "pace" them with your rifle, lead them depending on speed and distance and then shoot while keeping the same pace. Ive shot 9 deer running, one I had to track, the others fell within sight. The only deer I have lost, was shot while standing still in a field. SO yes, it is doable, as far as practice, all good idea have been used.
