I'm toying with a new shooting technique;

Aim where I believe I'm seeing those Silhouettes - then move my sight picture where they ain't???

I've never lead a stationary chicken before...  :laffing

Joe, a word to the wise......Those stupid Chickens will eat yer lunch if ya ain't real careful...and that is what makes 'em so much fun.
Running around out there like a Chicken with it's head cut off, will make a fella learn to trust his wobbles.

I think I may have practiced trusting my wobbles this morning from 25 yards offhand with my .40 cal Ed Rayl barrel Rifle - and that darn quartering wind (strong wind) coming in from eleven o'clock! I kid you not; See my little chart below (X = Center X) (* = Hit)

9*   X
  9*   
   9's**
          8*

The group (if you can call it that) "long string measurement 3-3/8"

With a wind shift, why I think I would of surrounded that "X" sooner or later if I'd of kept shooting... :laffing

Got mine!  :hairy
The chicken is as small and flighty as ever.
This year I'm going to try the Alvin York method (adapted for chickens) - crow like a rooster and take my shot when she stops to check out the annoying rooster.
Will it work 3 times?  We'll see.

The trouble with doing things right the first time is no one realizes how hard it was.
Often, however, the following is more applicable.
I stand corrected, a position somewhat painful to achieve, but once there, is quite satisfying.

By golly, it worked for Alvin York, I see no reason why it won't work for you SharpStick!  :hairy

My approach might be to aim where they ain't... A feller wouldn't think a stationary silhouette could move around so much... :laffing

In case anyone's a wondering what Silhouettes we're talking about, here's a picture & they can be shaded in as the ones on the right... They are mailed out in the white like the one's on the left... Silhouette sign up for 2020 is now closed - but there's always 2021...
