Leave it to you to find that extra couple 10,000's of a point to solidify last place without doubt! :lol: ~ Honestly, that's why I didn't double check my math, because I knew YOU would do it for me :D ~ This is why you remind me of every teacher I ever had in school "Leonard has so much potential but he doesn't apply himself to his abilities" .... :lol: they just didn't understand there were more important things to concentrate on, like girls. That's where I exceeded expectations but you won't find it in any reports or documents, only in beautiful memories 8-)

DC, If I remember right, they did adjust the AI of the pheasants because they used to be much worse taking off and flying these ridiculous liftoff/angular turns/patterns that were nothing close to reality. Pheasants fly straight away when you flush them in an arcing motion. I've shot a ton of cockbirds IRL and although the game doesn't get it right, it's a lot better than it used to be. As for the moment of the A/G thing, on geese, I think it's when their feet come down (landing gear down), they are going to be a ground shot. With the longtails, IDK where the breaking point is. Can't see their feet far as I know but really haven't looked for it. I was a little surprised I got ground on the one I did.
Moral of the story is, I think it's like geese - head high and above is good below eyeline, good as running on the ground. Take away point is - shoot em in higher in the air and it doesn't affect you. If I were to put it in a real life scale of things - I'd say 3-4 feet above the ground is on the bubble and should be good - for the metric folks - more than a meter and it should be an "air" shot, 2 meters absolutely it will be air

We have geese next, lets see what we learn from that.

Congrats to EduT, Ppgunz, and BCKidd (even though you pushed me off the podium!) :lol:

Wow really nice birds Smokin and EduT!

I struggled with the birds early on but like Splainin, I think I've got them figured out now and look forward to redeeming myself in the forum comp.
