    That would be an expensive sport (if you made it a sport).
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Looks like an expensive sport, although these drones can now be built very cheap.
    Would be a useful skill in Ukraine right now, also would be good for those instances when people spy on your property or maimai with a drone.
    There have already been at least 2 cases of such drones being shot down in NZ.

    I've almost shot a drone down, we had one come over our property last Christmas and it was hovering over our very pretty creek area right next to the house.
    After about 5min of annoying noise it was definitely filming because as soon as I walked outside with a shot gun it disappeared to a nearby Airbnb.
    My mum headed over to confront them and there was already an older lady there berating her husband for flying his new drone near other people's house.
    Then the ladies had a pleasant chat while a very sheepish pilot packed away his new toy

    Great vid. If a pro shooter is struggling with the best gear available, the average kiwi duck shooter is really going to have a problem. Depends on the skin-ario I guess.

    Fantastic video and insights, good choice of shotgun and the improved range (tungsten) ammunition. Some realistic scenarios as well. I especially liked the shell holders. Awesome.

    A great video that clearly explains why most soldiers acing the prospectnof drone warfare need not bother with carrying a shotgun... dropping a drone is not as easy as it looks!
