he couldn't really assume a firing position because he had to sort of flop down near the rifle.

Second, I don't see either a solid backstop behind the target or a hill. Those rounds he shot might have traveled a long ways into the woods behind the target. I was taught to never fire unless I KNEW where the round was going to end... even if I missed a target.

some rifles, guns, ammo, etc at his house in CT.

"After protective order, Simsbury police took firearms, ammunition from Robert Hyde, who is tied to tracking of former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine"

"Responding to a protective order, Simsbury police removed six firearms and more than 800 rounds of ammunition last year from the home of Robert F. Hyde, who has been linked to an apparent surveillance operation of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine by associates of President Trump’s personal attorney.

"Officers seized three rifles, two shotguns, a flare launcher, and other shooting accessories from Hyde’s home in Weatogue last June, according to a police report."

She IS under their protection.

I know he isn't showing the level of threat that Kathy Griffin did with the pic of her holding up fathead's fat head, but nevertheless.
