[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 6537935, member: 4505"] As my previous post, please show me the maths that proves a shot gun pellet falling vertically delivers a greater force than a hail stone of similar weight falling from a far greater height, bearing in mind that there will usually be a lot more hail stones than shot. Pigeons are usually up in the air and I don't believe shotgun pellets can travel horizontally for 200 yards -- but I am ready to be proved wrong. What goes up will eventually begin to fall due to gravity, but that (and wind resistance) is the only force involved. I would suggest that you did the wrong thing by seeking a confrontation. If there really was any danger, the correct procedure is to report it to the police who will have their own experts to work out the maths and decide what to do next. That course has the advantage that your complaint would also be anonymous. [/QUOTE]
