The shot string analogy reminded me of the time when we were shooting a course somewhere, don't remember where, but there was a new shooter on the squad who was a little nervous about a long crosser.
I told him the shot string was 12 feet long at that range, (I really had no idea) and that he needed to be far enough in front that he would kill the target with the last couple of pellets.
It worked, and he started hitting some.
My buddy (the scientist) who overheard the conversation brought it up later, and told me in inches how far the target traveled compared to the time it took for the shot string to pass.
It was like an inch or so. I said I truly didn't know, but it planted the seed, and got the kid hitting the long ones.
