I don't know how to post a pic but there are pics of this sad old bastard all over the web, such as Drudge. Right side of his face is all yellow and it looks like he's recovering from a black eye. Now, you hunters out there: would a load of birdshot do this to someone? What would do this? Or is this guy recovering from a black eye like someone beat the crap out of him?

What do you think?

I think he got shot from a range closer than 30 yards. Check out this video:

Absolutely. From seeing these pics I wouldn't be surprised if Dick beat him with the rifle butt.

FReeper queen Howlin blames Whittington

To: dirtboy

Whittington was at fault here based on all I've heard; he left the line to pick up his birds and put them in the truck -- and then reapproached the line WITH THE SUN TO HIS BACK, to Cheney's left WITHOUT TELLING ANYBODY HE WAS BACK.

Actually, I've been hunting and been in similar situations where the sun is in your face, and when people walk up to you, you barely see them. This is a fairly plausible explanation.

Is that tight a group possible from 30 yards, Tommy?

  This guy was shot at around 15ft. The story is a lie.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun

There is an interesting table on that page as well regarding the percentage of shot in a 30 in circle at 40 yd. Don't know much about the website itself.

Pattern and choke Shot, small and round and delivered without spin, is ballistically inefficient. As the shot leaves the barrel it begins to disperse in the air. The resulting cloud of pellets is known as the shot pattern. The ideal pattern would be a circle with an even distribution of shot throughout, with a density sufficient to ensure enough pellets will intersect the target to achieve the desired result, such as a kill when hunting or a break when shooting clay targets. In reality the pattern is closer to a Gaussian, or normal distribution, with a higher density in the center that tapers off at the edges. Patterns are usually measured by firing at a 30 inch (76 cm) diameter circle on a larger sheet of paper placed at varying distances. The hits outside the circle are counted, and compared to the total number of pellets, and the density of the pattern inside the circle is examined. An "ideal" pattern would put nearly 100% of the pellets in the circle, and would have no voids--any region where a target silhouette will fit and not cover 3 or more holes is considered a potential problem.

A constriction in the end of the barrel known as the choke is used to tailor the pattern for different purposes. Chokes may either be formed as part of the barrel at the time of manufacture, by squeezing the end of the bore down over a mandrel, or by threading the barrel and screwing in an interchangeable choke tube. The choke typically consists of a conical section that smoothly tapers from the bore diameter down to the choke diameter, followed by a cylindrical section of the choke diameter. Briley Manufacturing, a top maker of interchangeable shotgun chokes, uses a conical portion about 3 times the bore diameter in length, so the shot is gradually squeezed down with minimal deformation. The cylindrical section is shorter, usually 0.6 to 0.75 inches (15 to 19 mm). There is no good mathematical model that describes how chokes work, making the design and manufacture for chokes more art than science. The use of interchangeable chokes has made it easy to tune the performance of a given combination of shotgun and shotshell to achieve the desired performance.

The choke should be tailored to the range and size of the targets. A skeet shooter, shooting at close targets might use 0.005 inches (127 micrometres) of constriction to produce a 30 inch (762 mm) diameter pattern at a distance of 21 yards (19 m). A trap shooter, shooting at distant targets might use 0.030 inches (762 micrometres) of constriction to produce a 30 inch (762 mm) diameter pattern at 40 yards (37 m). Special chokes for turkey hunting, which requires long range shots at the small head and neck of the bird, can go as high as 0.060 inches (1520 micrometres). The use of too much choke and a small pattern increases the difficulty of hitting the target, the use of too little choke produces large patterns with insufficient pellet density to reliably break targets or kill game. "Cylinder barrels" have no constriction. See also: Slug barrel

Other specialized choke tubes exist as well. Some turkey hunting tubes have constrictions greater than "Super Full", or additional features like porting to reduce recoil, or "straight rifling" that is designed to stop any spin that the shot column might acquire when traveling down the barrel These tubes are often extended tubes, meaning they project beyond the end of the bore, giving more room for things like a longer conical section. Shot spreaders or diffusion chokes work opposite of normal chokes--they are designed to spread the shot more than a cylinder bore, generating wider patterns for very short range use. A number of recent spreader chokes, such as the Briley "Diffusion" line, actually use rifling in the choke to spin the shot slightly, creating a wider spread. The Briley Diffusion uses a 1 in 14 inch twist, as does the FABARM Lion Paradox shotgun. Oval chokes, often called "duckbill spreaders", are designed to provide a shot pattern wider than it is tall, are sometimes found on combat shotguns, primarly those of the Vietnam War era. Offset chokes, where the choke is intentionally made slightly off of center, are also made, and are used to change the point of impact; for instance, an offset choke can be used to make a double barrelled shotgun with poorly aligned barrels hit the same spot with both barrels.

That the conclusion Alex Jones has come to.
