Here's a discussion from the Paragon Facebook page regarding Wingshooting and Lead that may be of interest:

Tim Mccabe I miss we all do but not too often LOL. If I get the chance I would
Paragon School of Sporting Inc. One shooter, who was having trouble bird hunting, called to schedule a lesson. I ask what prompted his call? He told me he was "tired of disappointing his dog!" Ah, felt so bad for him. It's easy to get on the right track when you have someone like Daniel Schindler, who's worked with thousands of shooters, teach you how build a swing and call your own misses so you can self-correct!

Paragon School of Sporting Inc. Oh, my! Are you moving your gun too fast?

Tim Mccabe Maybe but I can barely move my gun. I'm use to shooting flushing birds so when you got something decoying or a long neck as a duck or goose I get confused where I should lead? And thank you.
Daniel Schindler If I may, here are a few suggestions. As distance increases and the birds move out of our comfort zones (where we do shoot well using our instincts), shooters commonly begin to add more lead by “measuring.” It becomes a 3, 4, 5-foot affair. While this seems like the right thing to do, unbeknownst to the shooter who is trying to measure this “specific” lead, the measuring is actually “decelerating” the muzzle (the lead is collapsing), instead of accelerating the muzzle (opening the lead). A better way to approach this and greatly simplify the whole confusing lead question is to use the Pull Away shooting method. FIRST, bring your muzzle onto the bird, making sure you’ve matched the bird’s line and speed. <
