The sport of kings.All this guy needs is some kevlar stockings for his hunting partner.....
Birds attacking drones can be a problem. For some reason birds really don't like drones. It doesn't take much to bring a drone down. Once the drone pitches too much, it will lose control and fall out of the sky. They don't self correct at all.
45-70 mph is most clay targets! I know people that shoot perfect or almost perfect scores in sporting clays on courses with targets from 40 -90 yards. No doubt 110 mph increases the challenge but it’s very doable by skilled gunners. Like you said, most won’t come close. I do know a few more than capable. Andrew Wycoski, Ortenzi brothers and Gerry Gagnon would bankrupt a billionaire flying drones.
Nothing is perfect, I have not researched the types of drones being used in war today but I would assume they are not higher quality (expensive) if they are being used in kamikaze rolls? No doubt we will soon see new energy weapons systems capable of dropping most basic drones like flys going forward...... I mean if the skunk works folk can knock inter-dimensional alien UFO's out of the sky.... a cheap drone should be a cakewalk.
Interesting. I wonder if something like a kevlar braid on top of shot would make a 12 gauge more versatile against something with 4 or more propellers on it? He's using some sort of net, but firing a handful of string in it's flight path would likely have the same result?
