Photo of pheasant at the moment of impact !!!
Interesting photo showing the shot swarm and the 1st pellets actually striking the bird. Pic was taken at a tower shoot but don't know any of the other details ... must have been a fast shutter speed as the blur of the pellets is short.

Very cool picture indeed! It is hard to tell from the picture, but it appears to me that the majority of the shot pattern is going to be behind the bird. Regardless, it loks as if enough shot will hit the bird.

My compliments to the photographer!!

That was my first impression also but the bird was flying directly toward the shooter and the camera was off to the side so I think the shot was probably a little low.

I'll post some others soon.

Hopefully this will be a 3-shot sequence of a mallard trying to avoid the shot..


The swerve to the right...


The 1st pellets arrive....note the points of impact .... and wad to top right.



On his way down..

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
