I've watched a few other Carrie videos since these were posted (I'd never heard of him) and I have a question for anyone who knows anything about British driven bird shooting, of which I know nothing beyond that there seems to be a dress code, that the shooters and loaders communicate in no known language, and that tea is often involved.
The shooters are often placed in gullies, ravines, along creekbeds, with ridges either side. Right at the lowest elevation. By my lights, this makes the required shots far longer range than if the shooters were sited nearer the crests of the ridges. Is this for the safety of the beaters? Or to not spook the passing birds into diverting course? Something else?
