Well I have shot way more Pheasants on the ground than in the air as I do it to eat them not for sport. For sport I go and shoot clays
. In fact I have shot more Pheasants with my 22LR than a shotgun, even took head and neck shots with a 7x57 and 30-30 at the end of a days stalk to fill the pot for the morrow. Why buy meat from the supermacket full of god only knows what chemicals when I can have fresh naturally fed game?
