Where I'm from, we do "swamp drives" where a group will fan out and walk through the heavy woods/swamp, and "drive" the deer out into a clearing or 3, with "sitters" watching the clearing... (sitting back to the walkers, so the clearings are open "clear shot" areas)
Through my childhood, my father got me into shooting running squirrels and rabbits with my single shot .22...
at the TIME, I thought it was for fun!
It turns out, anyone with the skills to shoot deer ruhnning in high-gear got to sit a little more often then those who couldn't hit, during these "drives"
I still drive the swamps... but I "sit" more often, because me and my '06 are famous for clean kills on running deer...
there are ALOT of uses for that skill in hunting, that aren't related to bad woodsmanship... (think waterfowl)
also, practice is a good way to learn them...
small game with a .22
Skeet
Trap
Sporting Clays - a great one!!!

leading and follow through CAN be taught, but you'll still need practice...
