He would probably only have his gun in this position regularly if he were doing sporting clays, since skeet (even if he is shooting from the low house) is still an elevated shot.

Thoughts anyone?
I suppose he could be firing at a clay rabbit, but that'd be pretty hard core.

If we're assuming he doesn't shoot often, it could be that he's waited too long and he's firing at a bird as it's dropping. When I first started shooting trap, I did that pretty often. The experienced shooters I've seen hit the bird early.
