...when you are scanning, I'm assuming you are scanning thru the viewfinder? I can never find a receiver that way. Perhaps you are using you free eye to find any receiver in direction of view of the Qb. I often find myself lifting my head and scanning downfield for possible targets and then going back to the viewfinder to zero'ing in on them.
I'm not skilled enough to use my free eye, nor would I have any luck taking my face away from the camera and then trying to get back to it. I either get it done through the viewfinder, or I don't get it done. And here's where I disagree with your suggestion that luck is involved. There are plenty of circumstances where luck is involved in getting a great action shot, but I don't think this is one of them (unless there's a right-place, right-time element to the shot). The process we're talking about, however one chooses to do it, involves skill, persistence and experience. I'm sure I mess it up more often than I nail it, but for this kind of shot, I've never felt that luck was particularly important (again, unless we're talking about positioning, but even that involves educated choices).
