Hmmm....Shot at 30 feet....

[catnhatnh]

fired from shoulder level-struck at shoulder level....Nah,he'd NEVER fire at a grounded bird-that wouldn't be sporting.....

[NVMojo]

1. and I think he is less than 5'8", Cheney, that is ...

[catnhatnh]

3. Sit there and envision.....

a person 30 feet from you....now point a pretend shotgun directly at their face....now swing the muzzle higher till you think all pellets would miss him-less than 10 degrees off horizontal,right???

[MercutioATC]

2. Ever seen a quail that had just been flushed?

Shoulder-level is about right.

[jobycom]

5. Yeah, Dan, after Lloyd told him he was no Jack Kennedy...

[jobycom]

4. Probably pointing at ground when the old ticker suddenly siezed up

"ARGHH!" he screams, raising his arms to clutch at his chest. Kablooomm!!

Who knows? They're such lying animals I doubt more than ten percent of the story is accurate.

[TomInTib]

6. 30 feet? Even a 28 gauge would deliver extreme trauma at that..

distance.

He had to be a LOT farther away.

I don't believe this at all.

Go out back and try it.

[catnhatnh]

16. You mean like....

several days in the ICU???

[davepc]

7. 30 yards maybe. at 30 feet the man wouldn't have much left above his neck.

[TahitiNut]

8. Yep. I read 30 yards.

:shrug: I guess he was running away and tried to veer. :evilgrin:

[catnhatnh]

11. 28 ga with #6 shot.....

50-80 pellets removed from head neck and chest....that sounds like pretty close to a full load and like a fairly tight pattern....too tight for 30 yards...I HAVE seen both figures reported....

[wtmusic]

12. His gun wouldn't be choked like that to hunt quail

He was prolly closer, but not much.

[Sydnie]

9. that would be about 10 paces wouldn't it?

Sort of like Burr and Hamilton? :rofl:

[leftofthedial]

13. i think it was 30 yards

quail fly relatively short distances and then land again. he might have tracked them back near the ground.

bloodthirsty bastard.

[oioioi]

14. Who killed Cock Robin?

Who killed Cock Robin?
I, said the Dick
Like all birds, he moved quick
I killed Cock Robin."

Who saw him die?
I, said the GOP Pioneer
He was just visiting here
I saw him die.

Who caught his blood?
I, said the nurse
After Dick took his purse
I caught his blood.

Who'll make the shroud?
I, said the Turd
Not a word will be heard
I'll make the shroud

Who'll dig his grave?
I, said the Veep
We'll bury him deep
I'll dig his grave.

Who'll be the parson?
I, said the Smirk
Cos Blessin's hard work
I'll be the parson

[opihimoimoi]

15. I can only imagine what the victim said...."WTF YA DUMB STUPID ASSHOLE????

I Told ya to wait for that drink

"52 bullets.... They took out 52 pellets from my friggin face YOU ASSHOLE"

[seabeyond]
