And the shotgun pellets land... where? What's his backstop? Firing guns into the air means that the bullets come down. And they can hurt people.

- monochromatic 11y agoBirdshot is fired into the air when hunting birds. It loses its energy very quickly and should be moving slowly enough not to cause damage when it lands (unless maybe a pellet hits you in the eyeball or something). Pistol and rifle bullets are another story entirely.
- ghshephard 11y agoApparently (based on a bit of googling) it's very common to be peppered by birdshot when hunting birds. People are basically firing birdshot up into the air - and it, not infrequently, lands on other hunters. Still, I agree it's pretty impolite to have your shot land on your neighbors property.
