My brother has a drone. He flies it around his place to check cows.

Judge Rules In Favor of Man Who Shot Down Drone for Hovering in Backyard
- Thread starter DA 20
- Start Date
So, when a news helicopter hovers over your land while broadcasting a house fire in your area, do we get to shoot at that? Police helicopter, while trying to located a suspect, hovers over your land, do we get to play cop-skeet? Drone 30' over your land? 300'? 1000'? Where's the line? In this case, I would have shot it down, no doubt.

The tree line Ace, the tree line.
500' is the line drawn by the .gov The problem with shooting into the air is, it's probably illegal in a lot of places. I'm actually surprised that he didn't get convicted for that.
Btw, if the numbskull had just stayed on public property, like a road, and shot (photographed) into their property, there would be no issue. That would be totally within his rights. I'm not saying I agree with it. But that's the law. You have no expectation of privacy while you're outside.
Don't string me up. I'm only saying this as an ex-commercial photographer. I'm not defending the perv.

Archery. I want to take one with my bow.
Depends on the gage, your shotgun, the choke, the size and composition of the shot, the magnitude of the shell ...
Windage will matter some ... just don't shoot straight up.

And if you do, don't keep standing in that exact spot.
