As a scot who has been a "beater" (a person hired to drive pheasant and grouse out of the woods and moors toward the guns) I was innumerably rained with buckshot from the drunken assholes who sat in the hides waiting for the birds. That ain't hunting. And what Chaney does ain't "hunting" either.
   I should make clear that I am against this "sport".
   That he was able to hit the chest and face of his partner meant that he was shooting low and not attempting to take the birds fairly "on the rise" as propper bird hunting calls for.
   Shooting birds requires that you lead the shot so that the bird and the buckshot arrive at the same time. That angle is about 35 to 45 degees.
   So how did Dick manage to hit someone at a less than 5 deree elevation?
