Most MAs (in my experience) are when someone is jetting upward and away from you, or directly floating/falling in front of you. Just don't expect to get insane shots like while strafing or moving at high speeds, maybe thats why you're interpreting it as difficult. MAs are usually opportunity shots, so just keep that in mind.

ma's
I recently turned my mouse sensitivity way down and hit 2 ma's out of 3 tries the first map i played....but at such a low setting it was hard to play decent lof so i have been tweaking it since then..........and don't get too wild with your FOV cause it really screws with your depth perception

My first suggestion is to practice shooting stationary targets (building column, tree). Do this while jetting up, down, side to side, back to foward. Keep doing this till you hit your targets often back to back. Pay attention to where you need to place your reticle in reference to the target based on your speed and direction.
Then start playing LakRabbit and Deathmatch using spinfusor only. No other game type allows for as many MA tries per minute. No chain, no GL. Disc only. Yeah, your gonna get your butt kicked in Disc only DM. But your learning. I ususally do this for 30 mintues to an hour before I play CTF. Do this everyday and there will be improvment.
Some basic rules: One of the most common defensive movements is for a target to stop jetting and start dropping for faster movement. So many of your MA's will involve shooting a dropping target. Learn to shoot below dropping targets. By the time the disc gets there, they will be dropping into it.
When dueling 1 vs 1 in the air, most MA's dont' require that much lead. About 1/2 a reticle width at the most. Also pay attention to the target and it's movement. This isn't a twitch reflex FPS as much as other games. The targets are usually slower moving to be patient, line up your shot, take it.

It's funny, about 2 months ago, I was getting MA's all the time. Then I started capping and kept my focus there. After a while I just wasn't MA'ing like I used to. IMO, it really just takes alot of practice. Also, your machine may have something to do with it. As soon as I got my new PC, I was getting WAY more MA's.
As of late I've been trying to work on my aim more and what I'm doing is simply firing more disks than I normally would to the point where I am running out of disks constantly. But the more you shoot the more you learn.
But I like what A z r a e l posted, he's got the right idea.
