The fully extended leading hand is how I was taught to shoot. When I was learning to shoot, my grandfather told me to point to a tree. Of course my hand was extended. I didn't point at the tree with a bent elbow. The point was taken and I have shot that way since that day. One reason I don't like beavertail forends is that it hinders keeping my left arm extended. I also noticed in pictures that Wilbur Fiske Parker shot that way also.
